I don’t know about yall but I’m getting a little offended at all the articles saying we’d look at Mike Norvell. Like we all didn’t see his record before this year. I mean come on. Maybe we whiff on lanning but Mike norvell????
Woke up early for some reason and saw this news. You could knock me over with a feather. After thinking about it, I really think Coach Saban did the right thing not only for him but for Alabama football. This decision makes me admire Coach Saban more. Following him will be a real challenge. I have no clue who is interested in the job or who will be hired. Kiffen would be my choice if he is interested. I won't go into them, but there are a few reasons I think Kiffen would be a good fit in this situation.
He needs a good DC at Bama..............not sure Tosh would be a good one
that's almost twice as long as michigan had in the college football spotlight after their win monday night. so there's that
so, there's a chance we can get traeshon holden back?
Byrne talks as though they are still looking...............I think this is a smokescreen to head off speculation
Looking for a new coach
Looking for a new coach
Maybe... but the average turnaround for Byrne for hiring a new coach after one leaves or is fired is 2 days. Meaning Byrne isnt one to waste time, and in pretty much every case has one already picked out.
I think Byrne is trying to give Saban his victory lap, and trying to make it seem less like something that they have been planning on for awhile.
I'd agree with that................I think the biggest worry is keeping the recruits, and some are scared Sayin will leave, but I think Saban probably reached out to all of them and they will stay. I look for the new coach to hit the ground running and talk to all of the signees
I think Saban had a hand in picking his replacement
Most likely.
If Saban told players to expect a replacement to be in place in the next 72 hours, then it would seem there must have been a plan in the works prior to yesterday afternoon at 2:00 pm.
I think we will know by the end of this weekend how much of a plan was in play or not. If Sayin bolts there's your answer, if the next coach is hired by end of business day Friday and he stays, odds are there was def a plan in place.
Agreed, had to be a plan in place. No way he's walking out of that program and leaving them in a bad spot.
Just my personal opinion, but I think that a plan was in place, and Saban made the rounds and let the players know...................and told them to hold the course. I know Sayin said he came to Bama because of Saban, but I dont think he will leave. In fact, I think he sticks
Saban is leaving the house in better shape than he found it
Poor Byrnes talks like he is making the decision on the next Bama coach… GB is a great guy but this isn’t basketball , This decision was made by the GOAT… GB gets to open the envelope and read the name
It's our class we just signed I'm alittle worried about. The rest have accumulated to Bama and for the most part should be fine. It's not who the coach will be, it's that it's not Saban. But we were always going to have to face that when Saban left. We all, players and fans, just have to open the next chapter of the book. No reason it can't be outstanding also.
I look for Bama to do great things in the near future...............not throwing in the towel
Players and parents today are as fickle as ever so who knows what they'll do? If we land Lanning or Kiffin I doubt we lose hardly anybody, if any. If we hire someone not in the vein of these two it may get ugly wrt this recent class. But it is what it is.
What if Lanning is just interviewing the current staff? Saban made some young hires this year and brought in a defensive coordinator that wasn’t going to stay for too long.
