Yes, I believe this year players can also get out of their NLI if they desire to. Those already in school can transfer out without penalty (not that there is a penalty right now, but it wouldn't count as a transfer).
Dabo would crush Clemson's program and as a result the ACC would suffer. Coupled that with the lawsuits. No one is going to want an ACC team and FSU will be left with its clown makeup running due to the tears.
Seems like Bama has lost a few coaches and players to the portal recently. What they needs is a guy who can do a REBUILD. A guy with a process…… I know just the guy.
Maybe he prefers hurricanes to tornadoes? No state income tax in FL, but insurance probably makes it closer now.
I know the accomplishments and ties as a player there but Is the shine off Dabo enough that they still want him? Also if he was feeling the noise from fans at Clemson, Bamas a whole different level. And What kind of coach does he look like when he has to play more than 2-3 real games a year
Have to believe they already have the replacement on the hook. There are plenty with big enough egos to follow him but crazy because whoever it is will never be good enough. Freeze has to be dancing on his sofa.
I would think they go for Lanning. Kirby has it made at uga. Dabo still has it good at Clemson, has a legacy and plays in easy conference. Plus he would not want to follow THE man where comparisons is inevitable. Lanning has not been at Oregon that long, he has SEC experience and this would be a big step up and pay raise. In a sense, bama recruits itself much like uga regardless who is coach. Because of the NIL and portal, it's not going to be an nfl coach. Or it could be Bezos who could buy championships
