As a Michigan fan I’ll say I hate Saban. I was in middle school when he was at MSU. But I respect his ass. At the same time, his final game was watching Michigan beat him in the Rose bowl!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |

On a non-popular choice…but someone that I would at least consider interviewing……Drinkwitz from Mizzou.

I get it. I think his career bookends an era of amateur sports that is finished. Kind of amazing to imagine what would have happened without his NFL years... but perhaps what happened at Alabama couldn't have happened without his stint in the pros. |

I will even give him credit for what he did while at LSU, and bringing us out of the despair of the 80s and 90s. But between how he left LSU, and then coming back to Alabama I don't have to like it. I do admit that he is probably the greatest College Football Coach in history. |

Quoted: Well, I'd describe what I've seen from Michigan fans something else, but I do agree with you. View Quote Yeah.... I'm not gloating over here. Michigan says they are about tradition and class. Well act like it. I don't want UM fans to become like insufferable OSU fans. I have great respect for Saban. He is one of the very few examples in life, you can say without controversy.... he's the best. And probably will never be replicated again. |

Quinn Ewers announces that he is returning to Texas for his Jr season.
That bodes well that Sark will stay at Texas. FWIW, some reports that sark was indeed the first call Bama made. |

As long as he hires a good DC and a good OL coach, things will be good Lanning has supposedly said he’s staying at Oregon. Now DeBoer is the odds in favorite at +300 to be the coach. I have a feeling Knight and Nike got to him, but it's all good......of course Saban was staying at Miami, so you never know anymore............not sure about DeBoer as he's not from the SE and hasnt established ties to schools, but that can be done quick if he's the choice Some are wanting DeMeco Ryans from the Texans, but he's a long shot as he has no college coaching experience, but he has done well with the Texans and had a great defense with San Francisco.......... DeBoer has won everywhere he’s been. The recruiting thing is overblown. Sark had zero ties to Texas. Saban had none to LSU, and yet they both recruited gangbusters. Not that Bama recruits itself, but hire some HS coaches around the SE as staffers and evaluators and you'll get some amazing talent. Winning shouldn't hurt that Saban is staying around to assist the new coaching staff get settled in and help interview new staff.............I'd imagine what staff he doesnt bring will be filled with people that know the SE and can assist in the recruiting and not something to skimp on.............however it does take time to build relationships, so it's important from that aspect........and Both Sark and Saban had people from the SE on their staffs to help with it. I dont think it's Ryans as he has a playoff contending team. I think most folks would want some advice from Saban, but it can also cause some issues as you might have a guy in mind. Unless you're as good as Saban (better ain't really a thing, is it?) its gonna be a rough time at a school with so much sustained success. I see what you’re saying, but if done correctly it can work. Saban CHOSE to step away, so that will help (in this context). And he is only going to hang around to help the new guy get acclimatized and get set up, then ride off into the sunset. I'd never see him try and micromanage a new coach, as no one has ever done that to him. Honestly I'd be surprised if the new coach hasn't already been pretty much figured out, but who knows. Guess we'll see how long before new coach is named |
