Saban retiring

YellowJacket4Life said:
He's a young, dynamic coach who is an excellent recruiter that has surrounded himself with a good staff. He also has lots ties to the southeast and the SEC. He's easily the best candidate out there. Has had Oregon competing with years and isn't afraid to use the portal & NIL.

I would think Alabama would go for a proven winner. Not just a pretty young recruiter.
 
Craziest thing is Nick was reportedly interviewing to fill some open assistant coach vacancies today.


“Multiple sources with direct knowledge told FootballScoop that Saban had conducted numerous interviews for the Tide's open assistant coaching positions within the past 24 hours, including throughout the day on Wednesday.

Sources shared with FootballScoop that Saban had spoken to multiple potential wide receivers coaching candidates, as well as special teams and defensive coordinator candidates within the past 24 hours -- including noted defensive play-caller DJ Durkin.”

He probably realized in the interviews that he was just ööööing done.
 
Kirby to Bama, just what the Nadlicker need another team to Hate. It would be very fitting that Kirby go to Bama, then start his own run there for #1 Football Team. That would leave UGA to promote Bobo or bring in someone. Good confusion for UGA during a signing season. Then some young Dawgs in the portal.
 
It’s pretty obvious the Top 8 candidates are:

1. Dan Lanning - Oregon
2. Lane Kiffin - Ole Miss
3. Kalen DeBoer - UW
4. Steve Sarkisian - Texas
5. Mike Norvell - FSU
6. Kirby Smart - uga
7. Glenn Schuman - uga
8. Dabo Swinney - Clemson

More than likely you can eliminate Sark and DeBoer. Sark has just built Texas into a clone of Bama. DeBoer while a good HC, has zero experience coaching in the South. Smart is a pipe dream wish that he leaves uga for Bama at this point. That said, could Blank contact him? Schuman has always been rumored to Alabama over the last few years. Just don’t think Alabama will take the chance now. Dabo looked like a lock just 2 years ago. But his reluctance to adapt to the new age of CFB has hurt his stock of “going home” to his alma.

That leaves the 3 obvious. Lanning, Kiffin, Norvell. There’s no reason to spend all the buyout $$$ on Lanning. Norvell is a good HC, but wouldn’t move the meter at Bama. That leaves the final answer…..

Lane Kiffin will be the next HC at Alabama. With the resources Bama has over Ole Miss, and his familiarity with Tuscaloosa, this seems like the obvious choice.
