    Haven't seen anyone mention DeMeco Ryans as a potential candidate. Might they dip their toes in the NFL pool?

    Only FSU gives a raise to a coach who gets humiliated in his bowl game.

    Looking increasingly like Bama will grab Deboner.

    Jimmy Sexton could buy a country with all the money he’s fleeced out of FSU. How many raises did he get Jimbo out of FSU and now a Jimbo contract for Norvell… while they are whining about not making enough money in the ACC. LOL

    Wow, I'm a little shocked it's DeBoer. That's probably about as good of a hire Bama could expect to get, but feels like an odd fit.

    Considering Kirby, Lanning and Sark were not going to take the gig, this is about as well as they could’ve expected. Who knows how he’ll do there, it’s always a roll of the dice.

    John Gruden?
    Bob Stoops?
    :p

    If a marquee guy isn't out there now (apparently Lanning is out?), Bama might be smart to hire a one-year interim. I'd rather, though, that they get a guy like that one a while back who got busted soliciting hookers (or something like that).

    Interesting . . . well if true, Bama didn't hesitate. Hope this guy gets completely overwhelmed, loses a shitload of transfers, and the Tide faithful go into a frenzy. :devil:
