Nick Saban is retiring from coaching

He's black, bud.

Rittenburg's only other candidate right now (if not DeBoer) is James Franklin, who is also black, but probably looks white enough for Bama boosters to accept.

If they want a recruiter who worked under saban they should go to Tosh.

If they want a winner who can be the CEO, they should go Chris Klieman

Mike Price would like a word.

Also, to @Duff Man 's point, no one in that admin (I'm guessing) has ever had to hire a HC. It's even more of a possibility that it's a **** show.

Utlimately, i think they end up with someone who's ok to take a MASSIVE ****ing contract for 3 years, then ride off into the sunset with a buyout after not producing results in the same stratosphere as Saban.

Yes, i'm quoting myself.

I don't know about the rest of the AD, but I had no idea and looked up the Athletic Director at Bama, Kevin Byrne. As AD, he's hired two football coaches- at Mississippi State, he hired Dan Mullen which was a great hire for that program. As AD at Arizona, he hired Rich Rodriguez, which I would characterize as a slightly better than average hire- they didn't have a ton of success, but they did go to the Fiesta Bowl.

I'd love to see Ole Miss reeling. They are SO close for 2024...if the rug were pulled out it would be delicious.

'Opportunity of lifetime': DeBoer takes over Tide

Kalen DeBoer, who guided Washington to a Pac-12 championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff National Championship game this past season, was named the next head coach at Alabama, replacing the retired Nick Saban.

Washington athletic director Troy Dannen has made an aggressive pitch to keep DeBoer, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel, with a new contract that would make him one of the 10 highest-paid coaches in the FBS and more than double his current annual salary of $4.2 million.

DeBoer would owe Washington a $12 million buyout if he leaves. He signed a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season in November.

I think there will be an exodus from Bama. I could see guys staying around to play for Sark, Norvell or Lanning, but DeBoer just seems like a guy that those guys aren't going to stay around for.

y'all worry too much.

CP is here.

also, saban may be off to congress to help save democracy! how can you fault him for that?

Saban is such a legend in Alabama that he could actually win as a democrat there. Would love to see Tuberville get unsealed too, dude might be the dumbest senator in American history.
 
Kind of feels like best case scenario. I think Bama players and commits likely to look around, UW players almost assuredly will as well, and perhaps UW goes after Fisch.

This has to be Locksley and Drink's agent just throwing names out there to get them both raises, right? I mean, I guess I could see Drink because he has done a phenomenal job with Mizzou and obviously understands and embraces transfer portal and NIL, but Locksley??

Locksley probably keeps status quo in place for them and is a bit more marketable to their fans than say......Rees would be.


Guessing though.
 
UW losing most of their significant starters. DeBoer's stock will never be higher. Smart move for him. UW is crashing and burning, at least in terms of their fans expectations.
 
This thread is now approaching 400 posts of almost nothing but pure speculation and it isn't even about CU or a program we play on a regular basis!

Classic.
