anyone remember the coaching turnover the last time we made the playoff championship game? Did you think it wouldn’t be worse if we won it?

Strong had 3 top 10 defenses at Florida and even a top 10 defense at South Carolina. I wouldn't be afraid of handing him the keys. Yes, I'd prefer Priutt but Strong coupled with Alabama's talent and Saban overseeing the process? I'm not sure how that could go wrong.
As far as Golding, I'd be surprised if he leaves but I was surprised when Daboll left. I'd think success would ease friction but to be completely honest I'm not sure he's better than Strong or Pruitt anyway. Strong has some up and downs but if he can do it at South Carolina I'd think he can do it at Alabama.
I say relax. Clearly not the 1st time we have lost multiple coaches in a season. Golding will be replaceable if he chooses to leave. Sark is a big deal because he was a play calling genius but Bill O'Brien seems like a pretty nice replacement. Bill O'Brien coached Tom Brady to one of his best years. Flood was good but Stoutland better O-line coach. Both NFL guys!! Losing Banks hurts but we still have 2 of the top 3 recruiters in the nation from this year (Huff and Scott). Hoping we keep them both but if not, the train will keep rolling. It has not stopped since Saban has been here.
I'd be shocked if that comes from Sark.
Do you want the NCAA snooping around our campus again?
Kirby wasn’t ever going to Georgia for a DC job under Richt. Saban can’t stop people from leaving
Exactly. I normally don't even read these threads, but am today for some strange reason.14 straight years of this and we still have people like:
I'd prefer Pruitt under ideal circumstances. He's still a head coach and still under investigation. That doesn't change what I think of him as a defensive coordinator.
What I was getting at is it seems like Strong could do the job just fine.
He may have convinced Kirby to stay, but he couldn't have stopped him if Kirby was determined to leave.
I think Kirby stayed because he knew Richt was on the way out and was waiting for the HC job. Had he went and got the job, it would have looked like Brutus in the forum with Caesar
At least with some it's not panic but disappointment with Sarkisian which is really not that important as well as an honest assessment of the effects of losing certain types of coaches which matters. Sure, Saban will replace them but it's more work and sometimes it's not with comparable people. Reportedly he is upset -- there is a reason for it.
But yes, Bama will roll on, just will likely be a lot harder in Texas.
Recently, Mike Locksley has been the only one who has left honorably. At least Sark did a great job in his last game - he sure had the advantage of a wonderful roster that Saban had evaluated, assembled and developed.
Ok, then my memory is fuzzy then.
If Bama wanted to keep guys like Flood and Banks, they would keep them. The one thing I do is that Saban always has a plan and they are always talented guys available to replace coaches that leaves. So even if Goulding leaves, Bama will be fine.
I’d definitely watch for that....... I’d hope they would recruit on their own merits and not pull a Kirby. Doesn’t sound like Sark would pull that
Working for Saban isn't for everyone.
I think people may be taking my post too seriously. To be clear. When I said hire-able I meant that he would have to be clear of this stuff. It wasn't a realistic idea just a passing wish
