Who is Saban's replacement?

  • HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two)

    Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation)

    if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!

Does anyone really know that Deboer doesn't know anything about the Southeast, blah, blah, blah.... etc? CNS was an outsider to the area before he came to LSU and look what happened to him. There are a lot assumptions being made about someone that's just coaching football. He's not running for public office. Bottom line: If you can win football games, I'm in! RTR!

I would really love Norvell to come out and make a statement that he’s staying at FSU ASAP. We need a leader to come in here to stabilize this situation and create some excitement for the future. That guy couldn’t even get his own guys to play a football game for him. That should totally disqualify him in my opinion.

The problem is with the way things work now, you could have a lot of talent out the door before you hire a coach. Of course you make the wrong hire, by the time you've made a switch all the Saban talent is gone.

I was for Spurrier last time around, which apparently Alabama could have had. They almost had Rich Rod though, which was far worse, but they got Saban who was far better (though Spurrier probably could have won a couple titles at Alabama before he hung it up, he had South Carolina playing good football).

After Lanning... of the realistic possibilities, I'm leaning Dabo. I was enthused about Lanning, Kiffin and Sark have coached so long with fairly limited success, I don't know if they'd Pete Golding Alabama or not.

Dabo is the Spurrier hire to me. If Kiffin the next Saban? Is Sark? Their resumes don't look like Saban's did at that point in their career, that's for sure.

Dabo looks a bit too much like Bobby Bowden to write him off. In 1981 Bowden went 6-5, he was also 60 at that point, old enough to raise some questions. So, Alabama doesn't make an obvious move in adding a highly qualified Alabama guy.

We will see though...

Edit: I will add this though, if Alabama interviews Dabo the line of questioning would have to be how he'd adapt to the portal and NIL. I think people underestimate how poorly positioned Clemson is to compete with NIL, they're not a blueblood. But Dabo would have to have a plan if he came to Alabama...

My guess is that the references to Dabo are falling on deaf ears. Many did not want him at his peak because of his Christian stance, but now that it has been shown how dependent he is on his coordinators, as well as his recruiting stance, even others like myself, do not want him because of performance reasons. IMO, you are wasting your breath, but you bring him up in almost every post I've seen in this thread.

IMO, Lanning was shown no interest by Alabama. He never said he turned them down, nor has he gotten a raise from Oregon; if this is true, it would indicate that Alabama, at least Byrne, has shown no interest in him. It was simply media and fan speculation that introduced his name into the fray.

I dont think his stance on Christianity is an issue at all..............I dont have a problem with it. I know there are those who get irritated by it, but Saban himself is also a believer and has referenced his faith a few times.

I think if Byrne didnt at least gauge the interest from Lanning, that was a mistake
