2023-24 Coaching Carousel (Fitzgerald out, DC Braun interim at Northwestern)

In a hypothetical of Nick Saban hanging it up after this season, who do you think would be the legit candidates for Bama?
That’s tough. Idk if Dabo would sit well with the fans after they’ve been out of CFP contention recently. They’d want someone like Urban or Kirby if they could get him to leave Georgia (no shot since UGA is his Alma mater). Lanning or DeBoer but idk if the fans would like that either. Maybe Sark

I would say Lanning is definitely a wild card, but probably a long shot. Sark and Kiffin probably the two front runners.

I just don’t see anyone else being a big enough name or commanding enough respect to follow Saban
