Fun to think about: Who backfills Saban?

The hot name a few years ago was Dabo but his stock has cooled. Could you imagine what Kalen DeBoer would do with Bama level talent and resources?

well then

I don't think certain coaches are thrilled about the fact that everyone can legally pay for players now. You've seen a bunch of guys in both basketball and football peace out lately.

Whoever takes that job. God bless em because bama fans will wanna murder them if they lose 2-3 games. Kiffin should stay at ole miss and just be a god winning 8-9 games a year and cruise to retirement

Now if they’re missing playoffs on the regular or getting bounced round 1 at best, different story

Maybe I’m overthinking this but with the expansion of the playoffs I fail to see what makes Bama a draw to someone like Kiffin. There’s sufficient boosters to make his salary what hed get at Bama plus pull some **** in NIL, don’t see why he leaves for Bama for more pressure when he can easily build a playoff team right where he is

If Smart leaves too you might not be able to buy TP within 100 miles of toomers.

Buy-out is $20mil according to ESPN.

I know a lot of people who were upset he didn't get the Kansas job a couple of years ago. He's from the Kansas City metro and also played linebacker in college there and had his first coaching job. So he's pretty well known and highly regarded.
