Nick Saban Retiring - CONFIRMED

[ptgrbn]

Pruitt to Bama! That's what some of y'all said, admit it. Go ahead and get that fork and crow ready.

Six year show cause should put that to bed

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Saban(Bama)- Takes Dabo
Smart(Georgia)- Takes Oregon coach
Oregon- takes FSU coach
Clemson - maybe kiffen but I think the ultimately get screwed because of ACC tv contract

Bet none of that happens

The exodus is already starting, boys. Heupel and his guys need to be ready to poach this class like no other.

Kiffin seems like a possibility but I think he will want 1 more year with the team he has at Ole Miss right now. 2024 will be make or break for him.

Kiffen would go in a heartbeat if offered. I golf with a lot of "connected" Bama folks (former players, major donors). We saw the news right after we completed our round this evening. They said Bear, Jr. hates Kiffen and therefore Kiff will not be offered the position. Several mentioned Lanning as the top choice, but my money is still on Kiffen. You would have to be an egotistical idiot to follow Saban. Kiffen fits the bill.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

He would be a good one

Not at his age and the way CF is now. Carrol would fail miserably.

 

[KELSOWAVOL]

He would be a good one

I hope not. But he's out in Seattle.

Word from bama land decision is family related. Prayers to them

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Already starting boys. Heupel and his guys need to be ready to poach this class like no other.

Doubt we go after any of their guys

Six year show cause should put that to bed

Also, Alabama wouldn’t be dumb enough to hire that clown, unlike us

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Saban went out with class. He didn’t quit like Spurrier or blame it on fake health conditions like Meyer.

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Kiffin and Sarkisian are definitely in the mix, but my first guess would be Lanning. He's young, and knows the SEC inside and out. Sark is pretty much on the same level at Texas, and has the QB room set for the next few years.

Gonna have read up on Lanning. It’s going to be a very interesting offseason. Looking forward to next season even more now.

Every coach in America is firing up the coffee pot and getting thier speed dial set up right now

 

[Dadof2Vols]

No sane coach will touch this job for a long time.

So you are saying Lane?

 

[tennesseeduke]

Interesting to it’s the day after Kevin Steele retired

 

[Honky]

Bama needs to call this man asap to return it to its late 1990s to early 2000s glory

Ding Dong, Saban is gone

You missed spelled Satan!

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Look for Urban's name to pop up too. Best college coach after Saban over the past 20 years. And Bama doesn't give a damn about his past ethical transgressions

Why does he date his cousins?

 

[Hyperion]

Saban went out with class. He didn’t quit like Spurrier or blame it on fake health conditions like Meyer.

I'd hardly say his behavior over the last two years was dignified. He was always complaining about something and the politicking for his two loss team to get in was just embarrassing.

You don't want to be the guy to follow the Dark Lord. You want to be the guy that follows the next guy.

Here's hoping Bama wanders in the desert for a decade or two.

 

[LAVol1]

It's been known in circles for the past 2 years he was retiring(Spoke about this in the Rf back then) so them having someone already in the works should be a giving.Old man can't game the system anymore so he's taking his ball and going home.Im just happy we whooped that ass one good time.I mean between Nico,Neyland last year and NIL were lucky the man ain't on bath salts from what little meltdown we were privy too...

NOT! I've been informed that the reason Saban is retiring now is a personal matter and has nothing to do with football. You'll probably hear about it in the next few days, but I'm not going to put it out because it is very personal, and I respect that.

Predicting he’ll follow Wiggins to A&M as Evan Stewart’s replacement

Exactly.. and the Gumps are sort of freaking out. Found this on their message board.. (this guy brings up a good point). Notice now that there are no divisions, it's a different game.



As for the toughest schedule in modern football history, they are proud of themselves. We've played them and Georgia and Florida every year (and will again next season) so this a very myopic view.

Is this the most difficult season in modern football history?

• August 31 – Western Kentucky
• September 7 – South Florida
• September 14 – @ Wisconsin
• September 21 – BYE
• September 28 – Georgia
• October 5 – @ Vanderbilt
• October 12 – South Carolina
• October 19 – @ Tennessee
• October 26 – Missouri
• November 2 – BYE
• November 9 – @ LSU
• November 16 – Mercer
• November 23 – Oklahoma
• November 30 – Auburn

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Lanning already on campus to interview? Some of those Oregon commits will be hitting the portal soon

Absolutely. As much as Saban drove me nuts the last 17 years, some things are bigger than football. I hope that everything is ok.

 

[rickyyrs]

Dan Lanning is a target.

Nike owner takes care of the Ducks. Lanning will get a raise out of this.
