Who is Saban's replacement?

[westide]

Wilson Love and Shaud Williams are both strength and conditioning coaches at Oregon.

Knowing how Saban is about planning every little detail, it makes total sense that he would help plan his departure, including his replacement. I think this has been in the works for quite a while. But regardless, we will miss you Coach!

Okay Rodney Orr is reporting that the BOT has known as late as the Rose Bowl that this was happening… probably sooner.

I have a hard time believing within a few hours Saban’s had both retired and lanning is on a jet to Tuscaloosa.. I think that this has been in the works for awhile.

I hope you end up being 1000% right.

Which makes me think it’s lanning and it’s been known for awhile.

Just because he is in Tuscaloosa doesn't mean anything one way or the other. It just means Bama is interested and Lanning is going to go and listen even if he has zero interest.

Until it is officially announced that Dan Lanning has been named head coach I'm not getting too excited right now. I'd love to have him, no doubt.

If he had zero interest Lanning and/or his agent could listen on the phone so if he is in Tuscaloosa there is definitely interest unless he is angling for a raise.

I’m wondering if he was striking out on d coordinators and was like im too old start from scratch with another maybe good fit young guy and just pulled the trigger?

 

[braggtd]

Kiffin right now.

 

[Crimson Speed]

As long as he doesn't bring Goldilocks. I wonder if Sark is offered the job would he take it.

Ha.

I think whoever the successor is will be handed the keys to a Ferrari. He will know the complete status of the roster, who he needs to focus solidifying their commitment. He will know who among the support staff, nutrionists, trainers, etc. is staying. The transition will be handled as best it can possibly be done. And that's the way it should be done.

Saban does nothing on the fly. Like others have said it’s probably been some type a plan for a while.

I'd like for Sark to be named HC just to watch the short horns burn Austin to the ground, lol

 

[AlistarWills]

Would Sexton also be Lanning’s agent?

I am sad and excited at the same time. I am a oxymoron.

Yeah something tells me that the next coach won’t have to admonish his players to get to team meetings on time and not eat buckets of chicken when the new coach is introducing himself…

Read somewhere Lanning has another agent.

I think he’s my agent too. He’s everybody else’s.

Note the flight date:

Coincidence? Maybe. Doubt there are a lot of private flights from Eugene to T-town...

Am I reading this correctly. This flight was on December 8th of 2023. Coach Saban always has a plan. If these dates are correct, Coach may have been planning this for some time now.
