šŸˆ šŸ”„ Hot Seat 2025 / Coaching Carousel: Alabama adds key personnel "behind the scenes."

I can't see any way Byrne would hire Kiffin. I do not understand all the attention over him lets be real he has one big win that's UGA last year other than that what has he done. He has a great offensive mind but I really question some of his in game management. But this is the one job he really covets and he would crawl to T-town for it. JMO.

A lot of these schools need to take a close look at Tyson Helton.. The man can coach, especially offense.. his pumpkin needs to turn into a stagecoach.. and a lot of these schools wouldn't have to pay nowhere near as much to get him..The same with Bob Chesney at James Madison..

ā€¦ I'd go get Cignetti. In my view, he's the closest thing to Saban out there ā€¦

Good call. I like him and the Vandy coach too. Although a part of me feels like post-NIL, a Saban-like personality is less likely to work at blue-bloods but more likely to work at upstarts, like Indiana. Before NIL, I felt like only Lane Kiffinā€™s could work at upstarts. NIL and the portal has reversed things, IMO.

I think tough coaching would still work but it would be vital to get kids that can take it instead of the soft primadonnas that make up a large part of today's athletes.
May not be the best athletes but you'd get more consistency than with players who don't seem to have consistent effort from week to week.

I will argue it is the only way to sustain excellence when the dust settles. Lots of things have a little bit of a success but does not sustain. Discipline, toughness an accountability sustain... I believe everything else is fools gold...

I agree. In current state the athletes basically control the coach's future, piss them off, they don't play for you and you get fired. Kinda letting the inmates run the prison. It's a poor way to run college athletics. No problem with them earning some cash but the old way they had to keep their attitudes in check to ever make money now some make more in college than many will make in a lifetime. Where's the incentive? I'm not a fan of the current model that's college athletics.
