We are discussing the latest on Coach DeBoer with @ChuckPowellKJR @BuckyJacobsen & @AshleyLolaRyan. As was just mentioned, Coach was unavailable this morning because he is meeting with UW AD Troy Dannen in person. We hope a deal can be reached soon. 🤞

FSU has been put on 2 year probation for NIL violations . Does this remove Norvell from consideration?

I know this thread is about Saban's replacement, but has anybody else seen that the Chicago Bears are interested in Tommy Rees?

Not to get off track, but if NIL is supposed to be separate from the school/program, how could it involve Norvell?

(This really should be in another thread.)

My point was that his first real recruiting class was torpedoed by a bunch of boosters after the IB. So it’s kinda hard to make the comparison between him and Deboer.

Anyway, I wasn’t making a comparison between him and Deboer, Deboer is a much better coach . It was simply an example of a good coach, bad recruiter in the SEC. Where talent is king.

Oh heck. How about Morgan Fairchild?

Yeah, that’s the ticket!

CTR has a history of offense for mobile QBs going back to Ian Book. I can see it.

Whoever the next coach is will be setup for success with Saban staying involved, because I think Saban's major role in "staying involved" will be fundraising to compete in the NIL and keeping brand recognition at the top of the college football market. Saban's presence and name on top of getting a solid hire would almost ensure any dip would be very, very short term, if at all.

The Washington cancellation is a significant event, whether it’s significant to the Alabama coaching search remains to be seen. It is an interesting coincidence.

It is a call in show maybe he just didn’t want every question to be the same thing about the Alabama job.

This. I'm tired of all the BS "I have inside info" people. They tease and act like big shots about it, due to their "inside information."

Seen the latest video from Funnymaine? He's on the phone at the end and acts very happy when being told who the coach will be. I suspect he knows about as much as I do, which is exactly zero.

at least funny maine was doing it as a joke

I am wondering why Mike Locksley is not being discussed more. Solid coach, great recruiter, and being the first black HC at Bama would be a bombshell that would reap benefits for years to come.

My biggest worry about DeBoer is how many defensive players do we lose. Downs and Moore should be key players on this team but I'm concerned we could lose one or both. He also probably doesn't get us Ryan Williams back which is a big loss.

depends on the DC he hires...

It's been relatively quiet on Twitter "X" this morning with very few new rumors being spread which probably means we're close to an announcement.

 

[BamaNation]

hmmm... could be nothing.

Interesting…didn’t see that coming.

Yeah, I get that. I think he's got a bright future.

Deboer has a contract extension offer at UW. It hasn’t been executed yet.

 

[Bpilktree]

Bring Deboer in as head coach. Nick can then go back to his roots as defensive coordinator and lead recruiter. We get a new head coach and DC but still keep Nick and his recruiting ability.

It was framed as a show to dispel the rumors about Bama and what is in store for the Washington program.

His career record as an HC is 31-59, including a 2-26 record at New Mexico. He also got into a fistfight with an assistant coach while at New Mexico, and his overall record at Maryland is 29-33.

Hard pass for me.
