Who is Saban's replacement?

[SkullDuckery]

Has Josh been right on anything this year?

Maybe

I'm sad I'm going to have dump all of the Saban is your Daddy memes for my UGA friends.

Just change it to Saban will always be their granddaddy!

He's right a lot. But people only remember when you're wrong

It won't happen, but the guy I'd like to see played at Alabama - Demeco Ryans.

I would be interested in this. He's the right age, he played for the right school, he's a defensive-minded coach and he's done reasonably well in the bigs.

I keep hearing Lanning's name. $20 million is a hefty buyout, though. I didn't realize we had that much extra money lying around.

CNS can pony up the buyout.

 

[CoolBreeze]

Anyone know who Nick wanted to replace him at LSU? Hint...he ain't coaching anymore.

As much as I enjoy his coverage, you're right, he has missed on a lot.

Who in their right mind would even want to be the guy who steps into Nick Saban's shoes?

It’s a different era in CFB, especially with NIL and the portal. Obviously no one will ever fill Saban’s shoes but if you think about Day replacing Urban, Riley replacing Stoops, having a strong program makes the transition from legend to successor easier. I’d like to imagine the program is in a better place today than it was after Bear retire or Stallings retired.

What a weird thought

Nutt.

I bet he would if he got to pick the coach.

It's not like he doesn't have the money.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

The only guys who can stop any sort of bleeding are

Kirby - Not happening obviously
Sark - also likely not happening
Kiffin - doubt it
Lanning - makes the most sense

I have no idea, but I would be shocked if Coach Saban even offered a suggestion given the fact that he left LSU to go somewhere else, even if it was to the NFL.

Someone just called me and told me it was Urban Meyer..............I threatened to come to his house and thrash him

I can't imagine that he won't have a huge say in his replacement.

Maybe another “Momma called” moment

I don't think Saban and LSU's AD were bosom buddies.

Saw that on Twitter. I laughed out loud.

 

[JDCrimson]

Im sure Saban will do everything behind the scenes to make the next coach successful...

He knows what Bama did for him too...

I can't imagine that he won't have a huge say in his replacement.
