Flipping the script….who does Alabama hire if they don’t believe Deboer is worthy?

i read Harriss’s comments about the expectations of Alabama’s excellence is nothing short of National Championships. I get it…..arrogant but honest and accurate. If not DeBoer…..who would they turn to? They’d be sitting in our position sans the Deboer option.

Lanning or Cignetti, imo

Lanning

Nick Saban. Half kidding. 🤷‍♂️

I think the answer for them is obvious really. Biff Poggi

Lane is probably ready for a move.

Steve Sarkisian Desmond said it many weeks ago

He is?? if so wouldn’t Michigan be trying for him as well?

I could see them making a run at Cignetti, Lanning, Kiffin and Dilly Dilly.

Jedd Fisch probably right? 😐

Dabboooo, Kirby, Lane, Sark clone Saban. This could get fun!!!

No thanks…we just fired one scumbag. I thought I read something about Kiffin stalking his ex 20 year old girlfriend recently.

I think he was being facetious

It would be Dillingham.

I mean Michigan hired one I’m sure many of these coaches are not the outstanding human beings many claim they are. Some sure, but a lot have skeletons in their closet

Josh Pate mentioned it on ESPN and how Dillingham would be a solid option. Outside of Lane, Sark, and Lanning, they’d prob target Cig and that’s maybe the one job he leaves Indiana for because he worked there before. If none of them want to leave their current situation, Dillingham would be a target along with Lea. Not sure Fisch would make their list lol

It’s out there…Kiffins well known as a scumbag. No thanks

A lot of people don't know this, but Alabama is building BearAban to be the forever coach. BearAban is an AI cyborg combining all the attributes of Bear Bryant and Nick Saban. A genius level coaching model equipped with a money canon right arm, decision tree play calling analysis, and an authentic southern drawl. I hear the Fedora it wears was actually dug out Bear's grave.

Yup….saying same thing. They were spoiled off of competitive advantages that no longer exist……

Not if I were running the search.

good q. maybe cignetti as noted above but it was well known that their short list last time was lanning, sark, deboer and norvell. iirc they could not swing lanning or sark so not sure what would change for either this time around. norvells inclusion is pretty laughable in hindsight

I bet their AD already has that person committed and ready to sign just in case!!! You know, what a competent AD would do!!

Not meaning to offend but it would be the football equivalent of WWJD? If we thought our timing is bad, given all the coaching moves, Alabama would have a good argument that their timing would be worse. Who are realistic candidates that can deliver on their goals which are no different from ours?

Kiffin will never get the Bama job. He slept with a prominent donor’s wife.

Urban could nearly match ethics of Saban. I wouldn't think Urban wound care any more about the rules than Saban did.
