Except for Big Game James.ESPN releases Alabama Hot Board: Top Candidates to replace Nick Saban
Alabama's Hot Board has been released as the Crimson Tide look to replace Nick Saban, who announced his retirement Wednesday evening.www.on3.com
Seems about right. Does Dabo ROLL back to T-Town?
Other folks have his name in there as well, but I don't see it. Then again some PSU fans think we are as talented as Bama and a few other schools which is so absurd. I imagine Dabo gets first look, but maybe he is settled into Clemson...who knows.
Yep. Good for James. If all of the rumored interest is being generated by his agent (and nobody here knows that for sure), he has a competent agent who is helping CJF take care of his family. Living the American Dream!

I see it a different way...IF and that is a big IF that is just agent driven....he's looking out for his client. He also knows at Bama you don't have to fight everyone in your administration for years to get changes to occur. You want another staff member...done. You want more $$$'s for recruiting, done. Again I think he is way down on that list and I'm not sure it is just agent generated, but it wouldn't be a surprise because PSU is a stepping stone program for a BAMA right now. That is where PSU is at. Hell outside of 2-3 schools that is the case really.Yep. Good for James. If all of the rumored interest is being generated by his agent (and nobody here knows that for sure), he has a competent agent who is helping CJF take care of his family. Living the American Dream!
This is where our new ad says if you want to interview for it go ahead. We gave you a ton and if you still want to money grub go ahead and lay your cards on the table. Unlike Barbour who gave the store away. There is something called loyalty!
It was all his charming personality.
The notion that an agent, by getting his client mentioned by the chattering class, can engineer a salary increase is absurd (unless the coach's AD is incompetent, which probably accounts for 70% of them). ADs have, or should have, ways of knowing whether there is genuine interest elsewhere.Yep. Good for James.

Half these lists are talking heads throwing ***t against the wall and see what sticks. I'm not sure the agents even had time to float those names really yet. Dabo with Bama ties is a no brainer for any list, but other than that you just take the top coaches and throw them on a list as Bama will do more to win than most schools and these coaches all know it.
Most of these guys are cromulent choices. I’ve been dying to insert “cromulent” into a post for weeks.ESPN releases Alabama Hot Board: Top Candidates to replace Nick Saban

Oh you are correct. Some coaches are nfl and some are college. Very few can do both and he couldn’t.
Kiffin is too flaky for Alabama, imo.I don’t think it will be Oregon HC, but that is just my opinion.
I think it will be Kiffin in the end.
if I was to channel by inner Bob, I hope Franklin goes there a wins a NC. I hate us! Is that correct?
Acceptable, adequate, satisfactory.
The conference consolidation and uncertainty in the ACC may factor into Dabo and Norvell pursuing the Bama job.
Was not that long ago, little Nicky called up Joe to delay a game to another year because PSU would slaughter Bama. Joe was toooo nice and agreed.
FWIW:
I expect you are correct. But he significantly elevated that program nonetheless.
He did at LSU too as they weren't involved in NC's or SEC titles for a couple decades prior to his arrival. There is no doubt he can coach, but the resources and talent can take good coaches and make them great. They can also expose mediocre coaches that take those 3-4 jobs where the programs on are on top 5 cruise control and they under-perform. I get that it's a great job, but replacing him there is also a huge responsibility with a HUGE microscope.
Bama’s current fandom would never tolerate a Franklin. Pre-little Nicky, things were bleak…they would have welcomed him then.
It's going to be interesting to see the dominoes fall with this.....although I am holding out that they bring in Jimbo. Just for fun.
What is his angle? Does he really think he can get Penn State to extend Franklin's extension? That ain't gonna happen. We have an AD who doesn't have his head up his ***. Sandy Barbour is long gone.Yep. Good for James. If all of the rumored interest is being generated by his agent (and nobody here knows that for sure), he has a competent agent who is helping CJF take care of his family. Living the American Dream!
