Who is Saban's replacement?

[Lifer]

How about announcing Lane Kiffin at Coach Sagan's announcement!

Now we know why CNS texted CKS back for the first time this past year.

Signing Day is less than a month away, got to make this happen quickly.

Sacrificial hire?!? You keep the pedal to the metal. Follow him, don’t let the momentum die. Even Les Miles took a few years to slow that monster at LSU down. Why would you wait if you’re a coach interested in the job?

Nobody is going to replicate Saban’s success no matter how many coaches are between them.

We could do worse than a post-Saban Bama similar to post-Saban LSU.

KS: Hey Coach, I’m retiring.
CNS: Me too

Especially with the bat being lowered with the twelve team playoff. You get in, you got a chance.

 

[BamaBooey]

This guy?

 

[jthomas666]

I do not think any established "A" list coach wants to follow CNS.

Downside: You're following Saban
Upside: You inherit a MACHINE

 

[Power Eye]

The one thing I will say about Kiffin versus Lanning or Sark is that, assuming all of them would have success at Alabama, I think Kiffin is the most likely to stay. I doubt Kiffin wants to go back to the NFL and I think there is a good chance Lanning might want to one day.

Demeco Ryans

I mean if dumbos like Miles and Ogre can win.

Demeco Ryans

I said the same to my son.

Gotta a least make the call.

There's gonna be a lot of speculation until a coach is hired, but if there is one thing I know, it's that there isn't anyone I'd rather have make the decision than Greg Byrne. We are in good hands.

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

It's gonna be.....Lanning, Kiffin, or Sark.

Kiffin or Sark, not Lanning

 

[CrimsonJazz]

What if he comes back with Golding?

I was just about to post this. That’s a deal-killer for sure.

 

[westide]

Saban wanted Lanning on his staff but Kirby hired him first. The guy is young and seems to recruit well. If he came maybe Schumann comes along as well.

 

[2003TIDE]

I would not be upset with Kiffin. He just had an 11 win season and was projected to win 6 preseason I think. Now I would be upset if he tried to bring Golding

Correct. Look how long an idiot like Les Miles kept LSU relevant. We can certainly do better than THAT guy.
