| FTBL Who would you want to be Saban's successor after he retires?

[50+yeartidefan]

I would much rather be the coach that follows the coach that follows Nick Saban….just saying!!!!

So in the BEARS situation. That would be......... Bill Curry!!!!.....lol

Maybe coach that follows coach that follows coach

I would quit watching Bama football completely while he was head coach.

Interesting. You n @TerryP are the leaders jn "anti-dabo". Terry has stated his reasons several times. So whats yours?

 

[SnakeDoc]

Our fanbase would completely 180 on their opinion of Dabo if he came in here and won a natty. Winning cures all.

Not me. Plus, I loathe the use of that n-word you and Dabo use instead of national championship.

He's a hypocritical cheerleader that I want to throat punch every time he starts to speak. Twice if he uses that idiotic shortened version of national championship.

I agree that he needs to shut the hell up sometimes, he can be bit of a blowhard whenever he opens his mouth.... but if he won some Natty's.

Right on some accounts for sure...
DABO ....regardless of what feel are his negatives... has many positives...
...successful HC
....bama boy
....alabama boy
....christian
....great recruiter
....smooth

But he had built a great thing at Clemson.... fits in well.... i doubt he gives that up....
But IMO ...he would win fan base over....be very successful at bama....

I spoke to Bro. Bill several years ago…He said Dabo had been advised by multiple coaches not to ever take the Bama job..

It would be hard to take a job at your Alma mater. If you lose and are fired, you can’t show your face on campus (e.g., Mike DuBose).

Essentially that's what happened to Dabo; he was paid for '01 but he wasn't working for Bama.

or was that I spoke to Bro. Bill several years ago…He said Dabo had been advised by multiple coaches not to ever take the Bama job..

Did he expand on the specificslly what the coaches were saying? I can speculate but was curious if he elaborated.

If you can pull for Bill Curry, that never beat those little cats! Why not anyone that will replace him? We are going to need someone with vinegar in his piss! We need someone that tells the higher folks to shut those pie holes!

Spoke to him at Willow Point before he moved away… he didn’t say I couldn’t say anything..He said he could do just as good there with the area recruiting base and salary….said he talked to Dabo often.. and that he wasn’t the only one that told him he would be a fool to leave where he was… he wasn’t a big fan of Stallings either..

I think Dubose had other issues than losing......significant compliance issues...significant personal issues...

Just like Shula...wasnt ready to be pressed into a Bama situation

Maybe. There's intense pressure following a legend, and even more so at a place like Alabama where expectations are very high. You have to have an ego anyways as a coach.

But, following Saban means the cupboard is well stocked.

Just ask ol Les..

Not with transfer portal.
@24and7
Les didn't have to deal with it.

Even with the transfer portal, Alabama will be as talent rich as any team.

It really depends on who'd they'd hire. If they got Ryan's, or a Lanning.... the layers would most likely stay. If they get a bad feel from a coach, then they'll likely bail.
