Tracking Saban's Replacement Thread

[2EastTnVols]

We should all make accounts on the bama board and start a coaching search thread ala the Grumors saga. That was the most fun I've had on volnation. Some of the funniest stuff I've ever read, and folks were posting faster than I could read them!

DeBoer’s daughter likely could, but she would need to get out of her NLI to play softball for UW before he takes the job IMO. No way he and the family leave for Bama while she stays behind and plays softball at UW.

Norvel to Bama?

Book it...he jumps to Bama, FSU looks around and tries to poach the team that got the last major university out of an NCAA jam...that's when we need to be scared.

Just think, if we had never hired Pruitt away he would probably be the front runner for the job.

Damn Fulmer. You screwed this up too.

If it turns out that it is because of his wife’s health, my joy will turn to absolute sorrow. I wouldn’t have ish something like that on anybody.
We saw the rapid decline of Coach Summit. Alzheimer’s is brutal and unforgiving

Amen.

Went through it with several close members of my family.

Extremely hard on the family as well as the victim.

That was just the best time. Hilarious

He jumped into an assistant coach’s arms and wrapped his legs around him when they signed a 5 star.

Yep that’s definitely a sign of true gooberism. Have some manly control Eli.

Man, people on here need to stop and think for a bit. Why does Deboer leave Washington, a team he just made it to the CFP final with 4 days ago, for Bama? And why would Norvell leave a team he just coached to an undefeated regular season and a few votes shy of the CFP playoff for Bama? None of these two have any reason to leave their respective spots, especially to follow the coattails of Saban where they’ll be scrutinized by everyone for the slightest mishaps.

If it’s a big name coach, it’s going to be someone that’s in a current position who has had success, but due to the culture or recruiting or lack of NIL Boosters, etc., of the current place, is never going to make it to a natty. So they’ll see Bama and say, “sure I’ll be scrutinized, but I have a much easier shot there than I do here” (think why BK left ND for LSU). That’s why my money is on someone like James Franklin or possibly even a fired NFL coach like Vrabel who wants to continue coaching, have some success, then head back to the pros. I’ll watch slice of Humble Pie if it’s Deboer or Norvell, but I just don’t see it happening.

Add to it that the Bama fan base is impossible to deal with for most people.

You could use Belichick as the "big fish".

This guy is available…has won championships, familiar with the south and a good recruiter

The master is already at work - Troll Tide! LOL



Over on tide fans a LOT of them are calling for him, chequered past or no. But then, they arent doing the deciding.

 

[LAVol1]

Kiffin was and never will be a candidate there.

The only barrier, and it's a big one, is Bear, Jr. But, if they can't get DeBoer, Norvell or Mayer, I wouldn't be surprised if Jr. caves and they hire Kiffin. Anyone else will cause a meltdown among the Bama hordes.

As I’m sure has already been mentioned in this thread, no way the decision makers at Bama go for Lane. Burned too many bridges (seems to be a theme with that douche).

Gruden. Soon.

I just listened to Josh Pate. Does anyone fall for the I got some names in my head frok legit sources, but i can't share them with you stuff ? Ummm people listen to your show BECAUSE they want to hear your opinion or what you have heard or discovered or whatever. Seems weird that you resort to elementary school I know a secret but I am not telling you stuff...

 

[DC_Vol]

Per John Brice-
Those who will be interviewed:
Kalen DeBoer
Mike Norvell
Tommy Rees
Eli Drinkwitz
Mike Locksley

No mention of Lane Kiffin. The nightmare doomsday scenario for some on here is highly unlikely at this point.

Surprised nobody has yet put any feelers out to Butch.

Butch is committed to his current team. He would never leave Arkansas State for Alabama. Although, Bama has reached out multiple times. (BLUE FONT)

Sportsbooks are pulling the odds on the search, sounds like a decision has been made. This comes after dabo shot from +2800 to even money in the past 6 hours

Update, it’s back up and dabo is now the favorite at -125
