Thought it was worth considering if O'Brien accepts the job before season end, who would step in as replacement? I don't have a clue & thought I'd ask. Thoughts?
| FTBL If Bill O'Brien takes the Nebraska job, who steps in as interim?

Nobody is going in midseason. He wouldn’t be able to hire assistants, can’t install an offense or defense, and anybody who left a program to join him would be marked for life. He wouldn’t be interviewing behind Saban’s back so I’m sure Saban would give his support for staying through the end of the season.

Nobody. Cmon Saban won't let him go this early.

I wasn't saying, inferring, implying he'd leave this early but Kiffin left right before the NC Game so this isn't exactly new territory here.
I just thought it would be a good topic to discuss.
Kiffin accepted the position before the NC but he only left after Saban fired him lol He fully intended to stay through it, like Kirby did.

Kiffin got fired.

I wouldn't mind a look at Dan Mullen. When he had a good QB and good players he had good offensive ideas and found ways to find playmakers. I think his downfall was more with running the entire team rather than just his best skillset which is offense. Not sure if he'd be interested in the job or where he's at right now.
Other names I like:
Kirk Ciarocca - Minnesota
Ryan Grubb - Washington U

NIL and Transfer Portal likely keeps both out of the HC position(s) in collegiate football in the future. I know O'Brien doesn't like the idea of being a head coach in this era. I've seen numerous comments on how Mullen feels about the state of college football as well and they mirror O'Brien's.
Anyone that would:
1. Shorten some of the deep passing routes.
2. Use the TE more in the offense.
3. Stop throwing horizontal passes.

If BoB. Am sure it would be post NC game in January
* Post Papa Johns Bowl game in January.
Hope that is tounge in cheek because Bama will not be playing in the Papa Johns Bowl.
Hyperbole. More like the Citrus Bowl or Las Vegas Bowl.
CFP!!! This years games may be closer more like last year but they will win a lot of games. Maybe drop one. Dropping one gets them in the CFP. The exception year would be losing more than one.
JMO but I don’t want cousin Eddie anywhere near the UA program

The consensus everywhere is that BOB would not leave until at least after the end of the season.

JMO but Bob was going to leave after this season regardless. Nick asked for a 2 year agreement from Bill.
If Bill is hired by Nebraska, I would predict that at the end of his 3rd season his W/L record would be at/near the breakeven point.
