It's a totally 'beta' attitude that no successful coach would have. None of the coaches Bama wants to hire would shy away from following Saban. Not one.He has a great point.

No, it’s a, “Saban won’t be here to keep them under control†kind of thing.The issues of the past are apparently unforgivable.
Nevermind Saban sure didn’t mind when we lit it up on offense from 14-16, with 3 average at best college QB’s, Sims, Coker, and Hurts. Won one NC and played for another.
Nevermind Saban would have brought Pruitt back as DC in a heartbeat but couldn’t.
Nevermind Saban wanted to HIRE FREEZE as OC…but again was not allowed to. On and on we could go about character issues, and past mistakes.
It’s a pride issue not hiring Kiffin. He’s the best available that actually wants the job.
Not one person posting about this on Twitter knows what's going on.A lot of Twitter rumbling saying Tommy Rees is a serious candidate.
It really is a shame. He would have done well hereNo, it’s a, “Saban won’t be here to keep them under control†kind of thing.
It’s a, “the one voice is a Twitter troll†kind of thing.
Look, I’ve been a proponent of Kiffin for a while, but do you not read some of the nuggets people leave about his previous time here?
Slept with someone powerful’s wife
Byrne had to get involved in some incidents
The man has issues, he needs to be away from here for a while.
The sad thing is, there isnt a perfect coach.............but I might have rolled the dice on Kiffin as well, but he does have lots of wartsHe's a great name to put out there if you want people to stomach a choice that otherwise wouldn't be very popular.
Kiffin just has more red flags, but he's been a better head coach. It's why I basically have them tied. Kind of like where I have Norvell and DeBoer neck and neck. DeBoer seems like a better on field coach but has shown weaker recruiting prowess and has no ties to the southeast.
It's just which wart bothers you more I guess...
If I had to choose one of those four I might just roll the dice on Kiffin after taking another look at Sark's record, but there are things about every one of those coaches that are a bit alarming and things to like about each one as well.
My list just doesn't start with those guys, that's basically the plan B list in my mind.
I dont believe that.............I think it was a courtesy interview
Norfolk Southern is rampant around Tuscaloosa to be sure.Will we be going to pick up the replacement in the rain? And before we could get to the station he got runned over by a damned ol train?
Byrne has made one good hire as ad and a few not so good ones. Rees would be an absolutely shockingly bad hire imo. I just can’t see that happeningA lot of Twitter rumbling saying Tommy Rees is a serious candidate. 👀 Not sure how I feel about that other than Saban would have put a word in if this is the case. He didn't have much time to learn the "process.". But Nick can still shadow support with a youngster like Rees.
He's a massive troll.

Bingo! If it gets to 72 hours with no coach, then I might consider having a little doubt, but let's get to the supposed deadline before we start freaking out. And there is no "we were caught off guard and didn't have a plan". Saban probably did just decide yesterday, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a plan. If Greg Byrne didn't have a plan for this, then he's not very good at his job, because that is a big part of THE JOB. Any AD worth anything is going to have a clear plan in place just in case something like this does happen. There is no universe where Greg Byrne was just completely caught unawares and has no clue what to do next. He has a plan in place, and he has been generally very successful when making coaching hires. We are going to be fine. Could the hire not work out? Absolutely. Anything can happen. Hiring coaches is not an exact science. But what we do know for certain is that we are about as well equipped as any program in the country to handle this sort of thing.Didn't Saban say there would be an answer for the players in 72 hours? Why are so many freaking out? Anyone with an IQ over 40 knows Rees isn't a legitimate candidate. Whoever is putting that out is trying to help his resume.
No one would see that comingAnd the crazy thing about Kiffin is he actually could already have the job and still be trolling like this. It would be painfully hilarious if the trolling turned out to be Kiffin fake trolling because he knew the hire was him. Lol
Fake account. He is not the @thebarnyard
