Tracking Saban's Replacement Thread

[Mccage]

Would be an epic lie if Lanning left Oregon. Has told them every time someone asked, as recent as 2 weeks ago he ain’t leaving.

'This will be my final job.' Dan Lanning again professes loyalty to Oregon Ducks

Oregon Ducks head coach once again professed his loyalty to the team, saying he hopes he finishes his career in Eugene.

Anybody know the title of the thread where one of our own called it back in the fall about Saban retiring?

Deboer just seems like a weird fit down there.

Saban, at the time of bama hire, felt that way...

This somewhat reminds me of replacing Pat Summitt. Who really wants to follow a legend?

We can only hope Bama makes a similar move.

Low just said Norvell or DeBoer from UW.

I'm in agreement with most others...DeBoar makes zero sense other than the pay jump he gets for taking the job.

Has spent exactly ZERO time coaching anywhere around any of the SEC footprint...he'll furtherest south he's been is one year at Indiana.

Also, all.the teams he's coached I don't see a ton of players from the South so not sure how he would recruit...DeBoer would not fit well at Bama.

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...

Why?
He had already coached at LSU in the same division and won a title.

Not really. Maybe when he was hired at LSU, but not Bama. Saban was a home run at Bama.

Never, the only two coaches to beat Saban that had previously coached under him are Jimbo and Kirby.

Negative sir. Sark did this year!!

Oh how I hope they struggle like our Lady Vols have....

 

[JohnWardForever]

Gonna take an extremely cocky individual to follow the retiree!

All those Gumps will be calling for heads non-stop. Hope they hire Mike Shula again.

extremely cocky individual

Correct, but you’re also describing Nick Saban when he was hired at LSU and urban when he was hired at Florida. Neither of those guys had any connection whatsoever to the south or the SEC. Good coaches will find a way to be successful no matter where they coach.

Im Not sure Dabo wants anything to do with the SEC after his two previous bowl games against the SEC.

SO, we are forced to watch what; a 24/7 week (Or 2) of bama football coverage? Geeze, Saban's final insult....

Right on, 1997 was a long time ago.

I feel safe saying Saban and Meyer are a cut above good coaches. Great coaches CAN coach anywhere.

The problem is: you can commonly count the great living college coaches on one hand and let your thumb and pinky sleep in.
