Transfer Window opens 30 days from a head coach vacating their position. Alabama's opened today. Oregon's would be the minute it was announced he's leaving.

So you're saying Gabriel follows Lanning to Alabama, forcing Milroe to Texas?

I would think Kirby Smart would be the best hire. He would take out their biggest competitor and bring the croots.

Smart isn’t leaving his alma mater, which he has made incredibly strong.

Bama insiders think Texas is one of the only jobs that could withstand a Bama push.
 

Just like Saban, Bama fans also have resigned themselves to the reality that Texas doesn't fuck around. 

[Nicole44 22206]

If I had 72 hours and I’m just looking at body of work I at least interview Vrabel. I’d pick him over Lanning. But there is so much fascination with Lanning even though DeBoer is the better HC imo. But DeBoer probably wants to stay put. I just don’t think Lanning works out and I sure as shit wouldn’t want to follow Saban. The margin for error is nil.

I'm not sold on DeBoar.. especially at a place like Bama.  He doesn't seem to really care about recruiting either.  

Lanning is young, full of energy.. seems like recruits, even if they choose to go elsewhere, like him a lot.  He will have growing pains but he at least has been on a staff with high expectations

Let me put your mind at ease. Texas is finally "back" under the leadership of Sark and had our best season in well over a decade. We have Arch Manning and we are recruiting like a national championship contender and the floodgates are opening. You really think there is an amount of money large enough that we wont pony up to keep Sark here? Do you really think the Texas AD and big money donors would let us lose everything we worked so hard for?

You were on a roll until that last sentence.  The last 10 years want in on that argument.

But he’s not going to be the beneficiary of that sweet Phil Knight NIL money at Bama.

[Blotto 23974]

Yeah, I dont get the Lanning fellatio. He took over a team that was 12-2 &10-3 in Cristobal's last two full seasons (excluding 2020), and went 10-3 and 12-2. He's also  0-3 against Deboer/UW. He may be a good coach but I havent seen much from him yet as a HC that amazes me.

He told ESPN his players speak through wins and not clicks. So he must be a great coach. Duh

Agree.  Bama is Bama because of Saban.  Well, he aint there anymore.  Everyone is acting like Bama is THE dream destination of every coach.  They forget that the 25 years between Bear Bryant and Saban was filled with the likes of Mike Shula, Mike Price (kind of), Franchione, and Mike DuBose.

[shnsajax 3605]

This is like replacing Sir Alex Ferguson. They will never get it right, becuase it will never be as good as it was before.

They will fire several good coaches who simply can't live up to the expecations who will then go on to be very good coaches at other high profile jobs. And it only gets worse with NIL, Transfers, and a 12 Team Playoff.

I think DeBoer is a wizard and I was hoping aggy wouldn’t hire him because he has an eye for developing talent. Look what he did with all those 3-star guys at Washington when nobody knew who he was. It’s a safe bet for Alabama because they can just hire Lanning if DeBoer sucks after Year 3. There’s nowhere else for Lanning to go in the meantime besides USC.

I agree with that. Don’t see an upside for him to leave Texas for Alabama.

It would honestly be hell for the next coach to come in after him and try to fill those shoes. One screw up and the hounds would be looking for blood.

Everybody be losing their mind Arch picked Texas because he wanted to go to school here and play football with Sark. NSIAP:

 

During his interview Arch said something that caught me off guard - "I always wanted to go to Texas since I was a kid". Sark being our coach just made his decision much easier. I guess we finally landed a kid who we all didn't know Texas was his dream school.

Let's hope Sark can now show Ryan Williams that he will have Quinn in year 1 and Arch for his next 2 seasons. He's apparently extremely high on Texas, and we have a shit ton to sell. CFP, SEC, 2 WR's going in the 1st-2nd rd, Sark selling his usage of WR's like Devonte Smith, Ruggs (before being a piece of shit), Waddle, Jeudy, Mitchell, Worthy, and so on.

Someone talk me off the ledge. I've gone from being a Sark doubter to needing him in my life.  The vegas odds with him as a relative longshot make no sense to me.

Go ahead and jump off the ledge.

I would call up Pete and give him a two year contract. Dude is 72 but acts like early 60’s. Just my stupid opinion but recruiting would be wild. Also he knows the pro side of it. And the whole coincidence thing with Saban and Carroll. That gives you a chance to really watch the up and comers and then pounce.
I will miss Saban. Beating Bama was a barometer for your team in some ways (not all teams.) he was the standard to beat. It’s weird he didn’t set up his team for a successor I guess or have a farewell tour year. I guess that’s how he wanted it to go. I think he had a bad taste in his mouth from all the fans wanting his ass gone early this year and was like have fun with me gone you ingrate fans. 

He had a farewell tour. He tried to win a championship one last time. I guarantee you he had decided months ago to quit. But he wasn’t going to tell anyone and it be a distraction and cost the team. I mean damn, they lost focus plenty this season. He would have been roasted for that.

I think if he had won the championship, he would have announced his retirement in the press conference after the game.

I think he’s likely the next saban if he can manage NIL and the portal. Probably not at WA but he’s the real deal. If I’m him I’m eyeing the blue bloods I’d consider and then wait for one of my top 1-2 choices to come open. Of course gotta keep winning at WA first. Next season is critical for him.

[horn4life 3829]

hmmm... Coincidence that Saban gets a beat down by Texas at home, and then decides to leave as Texas comes into the league?  

I think Saban simply knows that Sark has got something going on here, and it's a lot tougher answering questions after home losses.  I think when Saban benched Monroe after our dominating win, that was a mistake. But that Saban needed to do something to rattle the team as a whole. 

Basically, Saban retired, because he wakes up every morning now hearing hoof beats....
