I hear Derrick Dooley is available.

He's on the staff at Bubba Land, I think.

 

[VolCalls]

Told you.

Yes, you did.

Who takes over at Alabama?

Close friend of mine who runs in college football circles - not a public figure so nobody would know him - tells me Saban is retiring at the end of the season. I trust him as he doesn’t share these types of things without solid info. When it happens, who do you think Bama goes after? Dabo...

There literally 3 different news articles saying Dan lanning. Yet everyone is still spewing all these other coaches lol

 

[OrangeTsar]

Well, I can safely report that the residents of Central Alabama are taking the news better than expected

 

[OrangeTsar]

Went to my local Central Alabama Publix wearing my Tennessee hoodie. As I was walking back to my car, a man in a pickup truck rolled down his window and said „Well I bet you folks are happy.“
I agreed that I indeed was

Whoever it is ends up being; they are insane to take the job. See Ray Perkins for reference 1983 to 1986

What did he mean by, "you folks"?

Dooley is still on staff I’ll take either

Butch: HC
Dooley: OC
Cornbread: DC

He officially knelt at the knee of Harbaugh on the same day Saban retired. I can’t wait to see how he spins off his exec…but at the same time, I don’t care at all what happens to Paul…he switched sides, and he needs to pay for it.

I wonder how long it will be before Bama calls Kiffin.

Or Dabo

[Carl Pickens]

Who wants to be the coach to follow Saban? Those are huge shoes to fill

 

[Visidog]

Doubt Dabo is a serious candidate

Agreed. Likewise, James Franklin hasn’t crushed it at PSU. And DeBoer seems too novel still. But it will be wild to watch!

Harbaugh is going back to the NFL, so let's see how that works out.

The only one who scares me is Kiffin.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Franklin would be a dumb pick, he’s turned Penn State into a perpetual bridesmaid but never a bride when it comes to winning either the Big 10 or the Natty. So close but oops, just missed it.

So yeah I hope they hire him

 

[901 Orange]

Kiffin will bolt in the middle of the night to Tuscaloosa

Lol. walking, with a bathrobe and flip flops

 

[NO SIR EEE]

The only one who scares me is Kiffin.

We most definitely don’t want Kiffin to get this job.

 

[Vol737]

Will be funny if Bama’s problem becomes finding the guy, of the caliber they expect, that wants to be the one to follow Saban.

 

[ATLVols]

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

Then they can be “Champions of Life” trophies which are the greatest according to Butch.

 

[NEO]

He hated the portal. Couldn’t run his program the way he wanted. I hate Saban but the portal is destroying ncaaf.

 

[AdoptedVOL]

Dabo has a $60 million buyout

Money will be no object in AL. It's all funny money to these boosters.

I'm afraid this is how the negotiation ends no matter who they pick.

Hopefully they pick wrong.
