Who is Saban's replacement?

[NoNC4Tubs]

Well, if he didn’t give two weeks’ notice, he wouldn’t get a good reference from us, so I assume he’ll be at work for a couple of more weeks…

To keep his Insurance, of course...

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Hear me out before you judge. Who has proven that he can follow Nick Saban and keep a Saban built program going strong for at least five years? Yes. Les “is more” Miles. Just saying.

No Sod Eaters, please...........clock management would be in the toilet

I can’t decide if this would be exciting or comical. Would he come in and recruit at a premiere level or use his roster building philosophy from New England, and try to get all three star guys to prove you can do it cheaper?

Hmm... Taylor Swift has been seen attending some games lately.

Not trying to start rumors or anything.

I was tracking a jet from KC to Tuscaloosa earlier today. Maybe it's Kelce and Swift

I think he needs to stay in the pros

this is like a repeat of 17 years ago. lots of "insiders" that "know" and "done deal".

oh and "shock the world and it isn't who you think. "

I would be hugely surprised if it’s DR. I just don’t see a “winning” (and apparently very satisfied) coach leaving a pro HC gig. He’s been an assistant in the pros for a while.
Would love it, just don’t see it.

I agree with you, but these people not seeing the appeal of hiring him just baffles me.

Has anyone watched his 49rs coached defenses? Has anyone ever watched Houston play football before this year? The guy coaches like he played.

Part of the issue there, and the same with BeBoer is that recruiting is a huge part of the game and perhaps even more important with NIL and the portal, where you have constant shifts.

I don't think anyone is questioning the ability of either to coach well, the question is whether or not they can come in and maintain the roster and that's a whole other thing.

I mean a lot of people are down on Dabo due to his issues the past couple of years with the roster, and he's still coming off a 9 win season and currently has the 12th ranked recruiting class. The bar has been set pretty high.

Well, my magic 8 ball is broken, or i'd give you a better answer

I'll add this to the mixing pot. Remember, Byrne said there would be A LOT of rumors coming out but do not believe anything until it comes from his mouth.

I knew that was coming

Yes...this is late 2006 all over again. Lord, I had forgotten how insane it was

 

[Snuffy Smith]

I'll tell you one thing. Whoever it is, it had better be one of BEAR'S BOYS!

Joe Namath? That would "Shock the World"

That would probably shock Willie Joe................he's got a good gig hocking term life insurance

i wanted to get it out of the way. but seriously he is currently talking at Dreamland in Northport at a private booth with Bell and Byrne telling them how they made the right choice and he will revolutionize the SEC by bringing in the triple option over a slab of overpriced ribs.

This was very true when he hired Oats.

If I had to guess it's a parking space at the athletic complex for coaches or personnel
