| FTBL Alabama hires Kalen DeBoer as its next football coach.

This is WEIRD. The last time we had a coaching search....17 years ago. Shula had just been fired.. We almost got fucking Rich Rod

 

[alabamajack]

Lanning and Sark would be my first two calls. Not sure how Ryans would do as a college coach. Lane, I just have doubts about his fit. Smart ain't coming. Hell no to Dabo.

I couldn't help but notice the exclusion of Houston Nutt, Billy Napier or Jimbo from this list.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Lanning.

 

[rammerjammer]

My first choice would be Sark, but I don't think he is leaving Texas. We can't compete with them if it gets into a bidding war.

 

[kbama15]

It’s got to be Dan Lanning, reason being wasn’t he on the set of the Rose Bowl pregame?

 

[MunchyOs]

No...not Ryans. No offense to him, but that would be Shula 2.0

 

[MunchyOs]

We better not end up with a Fran, a Price, or a Shula. We are in far and away better shape than we were in in those days to have to settle for B team coaches

 

[MunchyOs]

I'm worried we are going to end up with a fucking Shula hire. Just a bad feeling I have right now. Shit...why did I have to gripe about the GOAT

 

[rick4bama]

Lanning: Best bet
Kiffin: Not so much.
Sark: Texas will out bid Bama.
Smart: not leaving UGA
Belichick: Still at NE.
Ryan: I think staying in the NFL, should be named Coach of the year?
Someone else: Who would that be?

I doubt they buy out Lanning

Lanning.

A statement or desire?

 

[OldPlayer]

Any good AD always has a list of potential candidates. I’m sure that list has been reviewed by CNS. This isn’t going to take 30 days.

I would assume Saban has been in talks for a month or more with the AD. Bet they have already been talking to several coaches for a couple of weeks. Probably already have the hire secured, and will just go through the motions for a couple of weeks. Doubt Saban would just up and retire. He plans things out to well, and I believe he would want to leave what he built in good hands, and more than likely want to have a say in who to hire. Just my opinion. I do believe it will be Lanning or Kiffin. Lanning can coach and win, is familiar with the SEC and is a great recruiter. Kiffin would also be very successful and knows how to deal with the pressure cooker that is Tuscaloosa. Either way, THANK YOU COACH SABAN, AND HAVE A GREAT RETIREMENT WITH MRS.TERRY!!!

I think that opinion is based on Saban having plenty of time to think about it. Sometimes life throws us curveballs and quicker decisions have to be made. Not saying that is the case but it is a possibility.

 

[MunchyOs]

I can't believe this day has come. It's surreal. I'm going to miss that man more than words can possibly describe. Thanks for all the memories and the victories we shared. We love and we'll miss you Nick!
