Well, I'm cautiously optimistic with the DeBoer hire. I think he was one of the two best coaches available (Lanning being the other), and I'd be equally happy with either. There was no homerun hire like DeMeco Ryans or Kirby or when we got Saban 17 years ago, but that kind of hire wasn't available this year. Short of getting Kirby, which there was zero chance of, there wasn't going to be another Saban type hire. As a Bama fan, we got to enjoy the greatest extended run in CFB history and have the GOAT for almost two decades. We've been fortunate to experience such a thing. Time to go back to normalcy and start again.

Honest Question. Do you think Saban knew this and had a reason for retiring this year. Or,... do you think this retirement was the right time for Saban to keep on keeping on with his control?

Also. Who is buying the Mercedes Benz Dealership?


Lol. Dm's are open.

For now, Saban is the best college football coach of all time. But I do think Harbaugh is an elite football coach who’s had undeniable success at both levels. Harbaugh is 12 years younger, he has a chance to win a couple more titles if he coaches for another 10-12 years. He’s probably gonna leave for the NFL though, and if he did, I wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually won a Super Bowl

Not gonna argue hes a damn good football coach, but also not sure how anyone can predict his NFL success without knowing the team, GM, and roster. There's only 1 guy now in the NFL who controls his roster and he won the Super Bowl last year. Harbaugh aint getting that control.

I know it was ages ago but he does have a 44-19-1 record in the NFL. Made it to 3 straight NFC championships and a SB appearance with Alex Smith and Kap as his QBs. That doesn’t mean he’ll be successful with (probably the Chargers) but he’s a safer bet then most who go from college to the NFL.

The 49ers hadn't had a winning season for several years prior to Harbaugh's arrival and he helped elevate them quickly. Harbaugh isn't leaving for the NFL unless he gets a huge contract with a lot of personnel control

Saban lost to those teams as well.

No it's really not. I'm not talking who built the greatest dynasty. Who has the most accomplished career.Who got the most talent. I'm talking you take two coaches and two teams with similar talent, skill time to prepare, resources, etc. You take Saban and Harbaugh to coach them and I'm taking Harbaugh. He also proved that he could do it with professionals. Something Saban could not.

Neat. Saban is the best college coach of all time. Let that marinate.

Harbaugh has been a college head coach for 16 season. He’s hoisted 1 trophy.

Saban was a head coach for 28 seasons. He won 7 titles.

Odds of this having full context or being plain true are near zero.

Actually they are zero.

Agree. Have to believe it was more than this.

Great! I guess Alabama can get back to fucking their cousins again as they won’t have anything to do now. Mark this day on your calendar as we will be able to look back in time and see that there was an uptick in familial bonding in Alabama around this time.

And before anyone says anything half my family are peanut farmers from Alabama and the other half are hillbillies from Kentucky. I know about cousin fucking.

Gee, you think so?

And here I thought the sport was unraveling because some offensive guard no one has ever heard of can go to three schools in five years.

NIL and the portal only exasperated everything. Is it really the coaches or do we blame the schools? There's no loyalty at all, but a while back, some school decided to up the ante and got this thing spinning out of control IMO.
