GMAC has said over and over that CLK will never get another job at Alabama for things that happened while he was there. Of course, he never said what those things are!
Who is Saban's replacement?
- Thread starter DawgAlum2054
- Start date
Hire the next best there is. Who would have thought CNS would match Coach Bryant?

".... ESPN CFB insider Pete Thamel shared a number of names that could be attractive to Alabama, even if they might be hard to pull from a current job. It includes a bevy of current Power 5 head coaches: Oregon’s Dan Lanning, Washington’s Kalen DeBoer, Clemson’s Dabo Swinney (who played at Alabama), Penn State’s James Franklin, Florida State’s Mike Norvell and Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman..."
James Franklin??
Mike Norvell??
Marcus Freeman??
lol Sucking up them clicks.

Just no. Not on Lane but just it looks like the Gus Bus….
This was not a spur of the moment decision. Knowing Saban, the wheels have been turning for a while behind the scene. Don't think he would leave abruptly without some sort of plan. I believe they have their man. We shall see.
I almost threw up when I saw Franklin's name.
The new coach will go after him hard.................count on it. I am willing to bet Saban has already spoke to the recruits as well and told them to stay the course
Franklin would be a no go.................just like that clown Deion
Well, he can't and neither can I. But they are beyond what most on here could imagine. He has an underlying problem which has to be solved. If they pick him, I'll back him, of course, but as I posted, it would be a real gamble. Byrne had to handle a lot of the problems...GMAC has said over and over that CLK will never get another job at Alabama for things that happened while he was there.

That list is nonsense - throwing crap on the wall.
If James Franklin gets anything beyond the "let's mention a black coach so people will think we're progressive and it actually has a chance to happen this time at Alabama," I will deny ever having been an Alabama fan. If Franklin was in a phone booth with 12 people who never watched football, he'd know less football than all 12.
(I have zero problem with an African-American coach at Alabama just so long as he wins; but James Franklin goes 0-2 in a two-game schedule every damn year in the Big Ten).

I hope Saban goes scorched earth on the NCAA for what it’s allowed to happen to collegiate athletics by legalizing pay for play and unlimited free agency.
If It's between Lanning and Kiffin, I'd have to go with Lanning.
Kiffin is still a bit too much of loose cannon in my opinion, Lanning is a risk as well, but he understands the type of system Saban has and he's obviously competent.
His three years at Georgia (as DC) they were #1, #17 (.6 behind Alabama), #1 in scoring defense. His two years at Oregon he's gone 10-2 and 12-2 and used the portal well.
I'm not as down on Dabo as some people here are, there's only so many coaches out there that know how to win it all and clearly he does. The big issue is probably that he didn't accept the job when Saban hired him, so he didn't get to learn under Saban.
He'd have to adapt to Alabama's way of doing things somewhat, and to the current climate of college football and I'm not sure how willing he'd be to do that though. I'm just not sure what Kiffin or Sark did to make people think they have a better resume than Dabo, because clearly they don't despite both coaching at top tier schools.

Who in their right mind would even want to be the guy who steps into Nick Saban's shoes?
It won't happen, but the guy I'd like to see played at Alabama - Demeco Ryans.
