Nick Saban Retires

Transfer portal and NIL say hello.

 

I agree. How has running off our last three coaches worked for us?

We need to stay the course with Napier. It will only be an extra year or two to see if things work. That will hardly set the program back significantly, and we can at least feel like we gave him a fair opportunity. And, if we do part ways, prospective coaching candidates will be more likely to come, knowing that they will get a fair shot at succeeding.

This new coach every three years or so is going to kill the program and the fire everybody right away crowd is incredibly short sighted.

 

That statement is based on a large assumption: that it needs to be done eventually.

And when is "eventually"?

 

Sounds a lot like BN

 

If we had a coach that for 16 straight seasons won 6 NC and at least 10 wins every season, we'd probably do that too. Heck, we almost did that with Spurrier and Saban's record is 5 times that of Steve.

 

My $$$ is Bama will hire no one in the Vegas Top 8. It'll end up being a DC/OC with almost zero coaching experience to hand Bama 2 or 3 seasons of mediocrity until they land Lanning. No one in the Top 8 wants to follow Saban and no amount of money will woo them. It's about egos and to follow him means 100% certainty they will fall short of his shadow.

And Dabo is not on the list at all. Bama fans would rather take a chance on Deon than on Dabo.

 

Apparently Eli may be coming

Pour out a little liquor…

 

Ah, thank you for that glancing blow. And I will riposte with “In the event of a third disastrous season — Heavens forbid — then perhaps what we really need is a coaching staff with proven aptitude in the Portal and NIL departments.” So the principal remains the same: if it legitimately comes down to a decision next year, then trying to keep recruits is not an excuse for accepting poor coaching. Let’s just get someone who knows how to coach and how to manage talent. I would love to be proven wrong, but right now I’m seeing neither.

 

I put $500 on Rees.

 

You posted that and I responded to that specific statement.

I’m sure players would have bolted when Zook was fired if it happened in the current landscape. That’s all I was saying. Don’t care about whatever else it is you are going on about.

 

Not surprised, he looked completely overwhelmed this last season.

 

Our last 3 coaches were WM 4 years, JM 3 years, DM 4 years. The only person who runs off coaches is the AD, unless you think cyberdyne has that power.

We waited one year too long on WM. Agree? JM lied so got canned. You dont like that? DM got fired by SS. What on earth are you talking about? BN will get his 3rd year. If we dont make a bowl yet again he will be gone. If he does, he will likely get a 4th year. Its up to BN. Its not up to the fans. You have delusions that fans decide ANYTHING. What will kill a program is having very little talent on the roster when looking for an exceptional coach to come save our program. Good thing we havent done that before.

 

At 54 years old he would be about a 20 year coach there. Perfect fit for Bama.

It would be very difficult for him to lose very often. Bama would keep rolling. Along with UGA.

 

A much different situation now than during Zook's time.
