Who is Saban's replacement?

[Tidetwin]

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.

yes, Lane Kiffin proves he is really George Costanza and is parked in the handicap spot.

while exhibiting the professionalism and maturity we are seeking in a head coach at Alabama. Go Back to the Grove, COACH!

Lots of smoke for DeBoer over the last few hours. I have to wonder if he'd be a good recruiter.

That's the big question mark with him isn't it?

He's basically been out west his entire head coaching career.

Saban didn’t have experience in the Southeast before he took the LSU job…and he recruited these parts just fine

Saban made a lot of very difficult things look easy...

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.

How quickly could he adapt from the NFL to the current Recruiting, NIL & Portal? We need someone who can be a master of Recruiting/NIL/Portal! Would Coach Saban educate him to deal with Recruiting, NIL and the Portal.

Now I know he could MOTIVATE players and have a great DEFENSE. And the Texans OFFENSE is totally different from last year and very good with a first year QB. I haven't even noticed who the Texans OC is. Seems like he has the Texans MOTIVATED to WIN.

Hmmmmm. Seems like there's a lot of disfunction in the Texans' Ownership family. Son vs Mother.... (See yesterday's Houston Chronicle.) Could this have an adverse effect on DR? Probably not. Now I think they do have a very good GM. Look who he got in last year's DRAFT!

I'd throw someone like DeMeco in there. Obv the players are excited about the name. I could see him being one to get them excited. Someone who people think we have no shot geting.

Leave the NFL, for NFL lite, with no free agency restrictions, worse egos, AND you have to recruit? Why would he do that?

Nick Saban cited age, health concerns in stunning meeting with Alabama players, sources tell 247Sports

Earlier Wednesday, Saban interviewed candidates for his vacant wide receivers coach opening, according to sources, and didn’t give any indication he was about to flip the college football world upside down. The team was told that Alabama hoped to have its next head coach in place in the next...

So what? Generic/general statements about health are no justifications for spreading unsubstantiated rumors about specific people.

"When people mention 'the health issue' it was really just the grind of can you do this the way you want to do it. Can you do it the way you have always done it and be able to sustain it and do it the entire season?"

Who really knows what is going on and who the guy is. Right now, its a bunch of online noise. IMO, and what I am concerned about is after 24 hours, there doesn't;t seem to have a succession plan in place.

 

[Bpilktree]

Personally, I would love, love to see a relatively young, up and coming, minority coach get a long look - it would be a really big deal for a job of this magnitude. But other than DeMeco, I cannot immediately think of anyone.. am I missing some obvious names?

Prime Time. He definitely would be a big time recruiter.

Basically he said to do the job the way he wants to requires fourteen hour days, and he can’t do fourteen hour days.

The players were informed it would be within 72 hours. Not time to worry just yet.

I absolutely do not want Norvell

Or Dabo.

Ok ... we are on page 48 at 2:41 PM ... still a chance we make 100 pages by midnight

 

[jbrit]

Biggest thing is being able to manage the portal and NIL - I hate what CFB has become

 

[Cruloc]

Was really hoping it was gonna be Lanning. Oh well.

Yeah all these ppl on here trying to say it was because Mrs Terry had health issues because they like repeating rumors need to watch the interview.

Why not. Make his mark in Bama lore. Get a statue next to Bear and Saban. I can think of 100 reasons.

 

[Cruloc]

I'd be perplexed if Demeco came to Bama. He's got a playoff team in the NFL and doing really well.

Shock the world huh.....so its gonna be Terry Bowden.

 

[RTR2u]

I know the chances are slim and none, but it would tickle the stew out of me if Kirby is the chosen one just to watch all of these UGA fans over here have a complete and total meltdown!!!!

The world will be shocked when the Gus Bus rolls into T-town!
