He’s not only coached at Bama but he’s coached extensively in the SEC. To me, that’s the most important thing PERIOD. This beast aint for everyone and frankly I don’t want anyone who’s afraid of CNS’s shadow. Hell, embrace it and make sure you make your own mark. That’s what he did. A blind squirrel can win 10 games at Bama and we proved it with DuBose and Shula. Lanning would be a great choice.

If Lanning had sustained success for 2 more years, I would say he was a no brainer, but Alabama isn’t the place to learn on the job. Lane is a no for me, love the guy…at Ole Miss but not Bama. His quirky style, so so HS recruiting and Twitter stuff tells me no.
Sark may be a good candidate. And before Anyone says he wouldn't leave Austin , it’s on the interwebs that Quinn Ewers will not be the Texas starter if he comes back. Big money paid Arch millions to be the man, and Sark wanted him, so… If shorthorn boosters are interfering already in coaching decisions like they did with Mack Brown, Steve may be looking for the exit.
I'd love for it to be Sark

Does anyone besides me think it's weird that the university hasn't made an announcement and CNS hasn't made a statement? He's already met with the team. The story has broken. Why the delay in announcing? Are they waiting for white smoke from the Vatican?
It bothers me that it was someone in the locker room that hit up Low to break the news. There was a time that something like that never would have happened.

The statement is on the other Saban thread.

Kirby did just fine.

I did see what was seemingly a farewell/good bye post by Ms. Terry on the Nick’s Kids site. If she is saying good bye to that beloved organization, it is all but official.
