🏈 Who would you rather Bama land as their new DC?

Curious who'd y'all want as the new DC. A lot of good coaches out there right now.

Me to. But he won't be available for a while.

Kirby Smart. He seems to know what he's doing.

All he’ll do is take pics of our recruiting stuff on his way out

Well, all things considered and not knowing what restrictions will be put on Pruitt, I'll say Schumann. But, if that lingering black cloud wasn't an issue, it would be Pruitt. He's the best DC we've had under Saban. Perfect world? As mentioned broken record style = Schumann as DC and Pruitt in some other staff position, even if it's as an analyst. And I want to be clear here... If Bama doesn't hire Pruitt it isn't because they can't... so I hope they do.

I'm still a little hesitant on Pruitt being the DC as of now. He's a fantastic defensive coach, and I'd love to have him back. But right now, I'd take Schumann. Like me and you have said before, if we can get Pruitt on as anything if it's not as the DC, I'll be more than happy with him being here as anything.

I hope we land Schumann though. And from what I've seen and read today, he's our top target as of now.

If it were to get done, really no reason to be hesitant. UA has been vetting it for weeks... not something that Saban is doing on a whim. So if he pulls the trigger, it'll be done with a plan.

You're right. I trust Saban making the right decision. But I'd take him back in a heartbeat, I just do not want the stupid fucks at the NCAA to make it a problem.

That was the word this afternoon. We'll see soon enough...

Doesn't PG being "allowed to leave" already say CNS knows which direction he is going and is confident how that will go? So more of a formality?

I'd say it would be really surprising if Bama doesn't end up with an upgrade. Saban wasn't caught off guard like some (rivals) may suggest.

Big possibility. Saban doesn't usually part ways with someone without having someone else lined up. Hopefully we'll know who it is by the time the weekend is over.

Wikipedia already says it’s Schumann. Take that for what it’s worth!

I wouldn't reas too much into that. I wish it was true, but I think anyone can go in and edit pages.

Nobody for Bud Foster? Not even a voting option?

I haven't thought about him in a few years, he's a defensive legend. Hes a very big reason as to why Virginia Tech we're successful during his reign there as a DC.

My gut tells me you're parsing words a little here; "it isn't because they can't."

We know Saban (and Byrne) have followed compliance when they've said "no" to potential candidates for positions on the staff. If compliance says no to Pruitt, is it your opinion that Saban (and to an extent Byrne) will go against the department?
