I'd be really surprised to see Lanning leave, he's seems committed to Oregon...plus, they can pay him just about what he wants and there is a hell of a lot less stress/expectations. There are reports he is in Tuscaloosa interviewing right now. Wouldn't be surprised to see him announced as the head coach by tomorrow. Lots of former players are already alluding to a new coach, so it makes sense...........but we shall see. I like the guy and wouldnt have a problem with him being the coach I have a feeling Saban has been working on this for awhile............there are rumors that his wife Terry is ill, and he wanted to retire due to those issues. Yeah, I think it’s Lanning. And I think he’s a damn good coach and will make a great hire. 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 I think the plan is in place, but gauging interest and getting a deal in place takes awhile...............I do think it will be announced fairly soon, by Saturday at the least. It drives some fans crazy not to know, but few are privy at any school to the inner workings of the administration, so wait we must |

They reportedly had a team meeting and decided to wait for the next coach before deciding.

Getting tired of the SEC poaching FSU's HC's... Hope Norvell sticks it out at FSU, but if offered the Bama job it'll probably be hard to decline.

Twitter is saying Norvell just signed an 8 year contract with FSU.

He did sign an extension this Nov. The buyout is $12m.
However, UW is trying to offer a 10yr contract and I believe they are trying to make him one of the top paid coaches in the country. If Bama doesn't get him, just like missing on Lanning and Sark, then they will have to settle on someone that Bama fans will not really like. I hope he stays at UW, but I could see why he would be tempted. He is certainly a culture guy. He invests in and empowers his players. They seem to respond to that. However, he also doesn't deal with big ego guys. He's been working with kids that have a chip on their shoulder or have been doubted in some way. Coach Petersen was the same way. Team over individual. That's not who Bama typically recruts. That would be a major adjustment. |
