Who is Saban's replacement?

[CrimsonEyeshade]

Do you hold it against Sark because he HAD a drinking problem?
I think Sark overcame his problem. I also believe that Lane got over being a young immature jerk. I think the behavior problems of both may have changed under the influence of Coach Saban. I do believe people can change. I used to drink and party, now I haven't touched a drop of alcohol in over 5 years, I think I changed.

Except ... after 3 years in Saban's 'recovery program,' Kiffin had to be fired before a national championship game for extreme conduct unbecoming. Not anywhere near the case with Sark.

To me Dan Lanning is Lane Kiffin without the Drama.

joey stagnantwater?

Saban ready to support Alabama in transition

On the first day of his retirement in the wake of a legendary coaching career, Nick Saban was still thinking of his former Alabama team first.

Daboll would be an interesting choice.

Interesting is an interesting choice for an adjective.

Ya’ll realize Rich Rod is just over in Jacksonville.

Yep, but 'The Lovely Rita' said she would not live in a hick town like Tuscaloosa. THANK YOU RITA.

Not really surprising but still great to hear all of this.

Saban is trying to be the GOAT in transitions as well.

Dabo will be a name thrown out, but not happening

God, I hope not.

It would surprise me if this (Saban's decision to retire) hasn't been known for a while, and the administration already had a strategy in place and active.

Welp. Give me Sark then

 

[Ole Man Dan]

If we hire Kiffin after witnessing his behavior first hand for three years, we are truly lost.

So you don't believe Kiffin could change? Sark Did.

 

[MemphisBamaDude]

So no Lanning. No Kiffin. This thing may get ugly. The more I read and hear, the more I think this was a total surprise and there wasn’t much of a plan.

 

[BJ4TIDE]

He needs a good DC at Bama..............not sure Tosh would be a good one

I agree 100%. I wouldn’t be super excited if he was our DC.

 

[CrimsonEyeshade]

Reports are out there that Lanning is staying put.

 

[countrytider]

Guys, we better go get Kiff and be done with it.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Thats an interesting analogy. Lanning is a defensive guy. Care to elaborate???

Young prodigy type with head coaching experience at a very young age. Lanning just hasn’t had nearly the drama Lane has.

 

[Crimson1967]

So you don't believe Kiffin could change? Sark Did.

Sark went to rehab.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

No Lanning, no Kiffin, and I think Sark is not leaving Texas so who's left? Dabo or Norvell?

 

[bvandegraff]

Nike ponied up apparently.
