Nick Saban Retires

Rumor has it they are really high on a guy named Billy Napier....

 

Yes and no. They certainly are positioned better than everyone outside of Athens to take advantage of the current changes in the system.

 

Dang. You killed like four birds with one stone on that one.

 

They really were a couple of years ago

 

There was one more reference but I pulled it so I didnt get bacon for speaking about Bama being patient with the deconstruction for the "process" to work.

 

Then led them to a dumpster fire just a few years later. lol

 

I’d say they’d probably pull someone from the NFL when the time comes. Some well known DC or HC is my bet. If they stick to a College coach, if I were them I’d try to pull Kelly from LSU. He’s not doing too bad, established coach and I bet Bama would pay him more than LSU

 

Harbaugh is the best fit with his meat and potatoes approach to football but his baggage would hurt his chances.

 

Honestly I think his baggage helps him

 

His meat and potatoes approach is why he is on that list. Jim Harbaugh would have also been on that list but…not this year.

 

They did good last time getting the Miami Dolphins coach.

I don't see an NFL coach in good standing dropping down to college right now. At least there's a framework (draft, contacts, FA) for building a team in the NFL. College is a mess right now.

 

He isn't going anywhere now except back to the drawing board.

 

Belicheck

Belichick

 

You would call that the Ron Zook effect!

 

I wouldn't be surprised if he does retire.
He looks like it's taking a toll on him.
He looks haggard to me.

 

They would have to be REALLY high. JK, I kid, I kid.

 

Ray Perkins would be a closer comparison for Bama.

 

Did anyone make Saban's Thanksgiving dinner? Someone has to have heard something there....

 

This guy has a history of replacing legends.

 

High on crack
