Alabama HC Nick Saban Retires

[dublinirish]

Seems like Lanning was already lined up.

Man it sucks to be duck fan - lost 3 straight coaches to southern schools. This is in spite of an insane amount of investment, essentially buying themselves into defacto blue blood status like A&M.

theres no way Lanning would go to Tuscaloosa to meet with them. They'd meet somewhere neutral and definitely not in the south.

I don’t even know who this Lanning dude is but I already hate him.

Yes, please hire James fucking Franklin

The funniest thing about this is that he originally tweeted without Franklin and Franklin's agent must have called to get him to add him

 

[Irish4life]

Anyone know if Alabama rivals has good sources?

my jaw is on the floor rn

Idk why anyone's jaw should be on the floor. He's very wealthy old man. I'm happy for the guy other than the fact he never coached Notre Dame.

Wish the best for him and his family.

Hey Pete, get fucked!

Bama fans in shambles.

 

[jprue24]

I don't blame them....

 

[choo choo]

What about Pete Carroll to Bama

Oh Gooooood... poodle?

 

[choo choo]

Vegas has lanning at +200, kiffin at+400 and swinney at+500

 

[choo choo]

What about BK? Won the west in his first season.

What about BK? Won the west in his first season.

I wonder if he gets a look for the Pats opening if Vrabel goes somewhere else.

What about BK? Won the west in his first season.

and he finally has his wish on defeating Nick Saban

Lanning hasn’t been a coach long enough to be able to mange that caliber of a program and following the best coach in college football history. I think this could be a mistake.

But if he is hired who do the ducks look at now?

 

[Grahambo]

Hire Jimbo Fischer you cowards!

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Lanning is an easy choice. He won’t have to add another tattoo, to the tattoo, of his wife. He’s already had a stop at Bama.

Hire Dabo, it would be another reason for me to totally dislike that fake ass prick!

Good morning fellas......Heard on the radio this morning that Lanning was fired by the current Bama AD. They didn't say why. Would this affect his chances if true?

Regardless of who is hired, you have to think Bama will not be as good in a couple of years unless they can recruit like Saban. They weren't setting the world on fire before Saban arrived. Will the replacement have as much attention to detail? Will they be as good a recruiter as Saban? Will they be as good a motivator? As already mentioned, it's going to be tough to follow a legend, especially since Saban had Bama in the NC discussion every year.

Holy shit that thing is real?? 🤣 I thought for sure this was satire when I saw the Pitt logo in her tits. Classy.

Coaches are such a weird breed of people.

Tommy Rees’s revenge tour is complete.

Coach Prime is awaiting their call.

Alabama boosters when Deion arrives for his interview.

Alabama isn't that stupid to interview Sanders let alone higher him.

Including his name clicks so well, though, doesn't it?

Yeah, thanks for the heads up, though.

I think that would bankrupt the state of Alabama. Kelly is at $9.5 million. Bama would have to give him a nice bump then pay the buyout. Plus, those 2 jobs are basically the same in terms of local talent, resources, history, conference, prestige, etc.

I know you're a Sanders fan, but he hasn't proven himself yet. He's been more of a side show than anything. Bama is way more serious about their football than Colorado.

I replied to another poster's joke about Coach Prime awaiting Bama's call with a joke of my own and you're giving me Thursday morning lessons about college football.

I realize to the fullest extent that Alabama is not considering Deion Sanders to take Nick Saban's place. I hope this clears up any kind of confusion.
