If he is hoping God will do his job for him, and making sure everybody knows whose side he is on and making it a point of emphasis at every opportunity, that is too much for my taste. He can go to Liberty.One could never be "way to into God"
Who is Saban's replacement?

With all the Lanning RUMORS, reckon Phil Knight is trying to cobble together some cash to keep him from leaving?
I'd be pleasantly surprised if we actually get Lanning.
From what I've heard, Knight's 'involvement' could well be the reason Lanning is in play...
Perkins? Or you mean Shula? Shula was never a head coach. From what I understood Perkins' team was about to become a juggernaut before he left.
Besides, college football is becoming more and more like NFL with NIL money and transfer portal (ie free agency).
Btw, I'm okay with Lanning being our head coach.
He won't have to cobble, the only question is just how much is he willing to spend?
Some things Phil Knight can't offer Lanning, and part of that is the fertile recruiting ground that Alabama has. Knight will keep Oregon athletics well funded (he's already spent 1 billion, he could spend 30 times that and not be broke) but he's not going to relocate the campus.
You know, I had not thought of that. You could be right.
I was barely 2 when Coach Bryant retired, so I really don’t remember Perkins or the Bowden debacle. I just remember Curry’s last year and all the rumblings of Alabama wanting one of “Bryant’s Boys†to come turn it back around. We all can agree that was a complete failure.
This time around, unless you’re bringing in Kirby, it seems like it probably would serve us well for the future’s sake to leave the Saban assistants where they are. I just hope we don’t repeat the dark years because we’re trying to recreate the magic of an elite coach with a historic run.
Whomever is on their way, will most likely be unfairly scrutinized from the jump because we have been so spoiled as a fanbase.

Why is everyone so high on sark. Less baggage than Kiffin? To me it is Lanning or Kiffin. Everyone else (that is realistic ie k smart, ryans) would be a disappointment.
and why is no one talking about Rees? Saban brought him in to groom him up this year, haha

I mean, I think Lane Kiffin would win at least one National Championship at Alabama.
I can get behind Lane.
I think there's zero chance someone with no HC experience is the next HC at Bama.
That said, I think the next Bama coach is currently in Tuscaloosa, despite only having two years HC experience.
Said Lanning is in T-Town. Who knows if credible. Journalists are known to be unreliable at best.
Their sports guy confirmed Lanning is in Tuscaloosa (per his sources)
