I wonder if some the players knew before hand. With transfer portal and guys deciding to stay or leave I would think Saban may have informed some of the guys like Ty Simpson or even Roydall Williams.

With the news coming out.

Who is Sabans replacement?

Kiffin will be a hot name, though I don’t think he is the appropriate answer

Dan lanning

Glenn Schumann

Kirby smart is unlikely, but I’ve heard the rumors that are probably just that

sark is unlikely

Mike Macdonald

Todd Monken
The name to pay attention to is Demco Ryan Houston Texans HC. No one really wants to follow a legend no one. Ask Ray Perkins how that worked out.

Looking at some of the potential picks let’s look at their strengths.

Sark: Great gameday coach and recruiter. Texas finished 3rd overall this year. Knows our system.

Kiffen: Great gameday coach and decent recruiter. Ole Miss finished 20th this year. Knows our system.

Lanning: Great defensive coach and still learning to be a coach but huge upside. Terri’s recruiter. Oregon finished 4th this year. Knows parts of our system being a GA and then under Smart.

You think he can quickly adjust to the college game? It's a whole different game.

I don't think so, it's been reported that it came about today so if players knew why would the older guys come back?

What was it Coach Stallings said Bryant said to him when Bryant hires him? "If I hear you got this job, you ain't got this job."

That is how this probably played out. There are probably 4-5 coaches who knew they were under consideration that were coaching their butts to show they could handle the job.
I would hope he would have enough sense to retain Steele, if Kevin would stay under Lane...
