I'm older than you and I have no problems staying up late. #NightCrew  Lulz.

Having to re-recruit your best players each year has to be the biggest pain in the ass. Would be better to pay players from TV revenue and sign them to multi year deals and finally move away from the bullshit amateur label.

Yeah I've always been a night owl so this is the norm for me. It was great for my work, which typically required me to be up for long stretches in the middle of the night, My problem has always been the whole 'getting up when normal people do' thing.

Sark has a chance to be the next Saban and is set up perfectly with this new world of nil and transfer portal. Texas is probably the best job in cfb. Why would he ever leave?  If you can't do it in Austin, you can't do it anywhere. 

[CycleTex87 3,003]

Sark seems to follow and embody the Saban leadership and accountability style which is great for our program.  That’s a great foundation.  Lets pay that man.

Now we gonna roll, good luck Bama with whoever you hire. 

[BigHornedLurker 2,107]

There is a decent amount of speculation that Saban sticking around with an office in the stadium means he's pulling an Osborne / Fulmer type situation which is pushing away good coaches.

Sark’s pretty good but it’s not fair to compare him to Saban as a coach.  He’ll never be close to Saban.

Should this become the Alabama coaching search thread or just remain the Saban retirement related thread?

Just to be clear, are you suggesting a thread that will result in a topically-focused discussion among this group?

[immamac 44,197]

Well we’ve moved away from his retirement and into what’s next for Alabama phase. Don’t know if we just change the thread title and point people here or if we just have a second thread for that and keep saban legacy talk here.

I figure leave it. We don't have threads for other individual schools' coaching searches usually. And his replacement is directly related.

Agree....plus once a hire is made that thread will probably be created.

Just change thread title. It’s easier for people to follow and also read up to speed. Plus this is becoming a classic. Just keep it all together. Lurkers appreciate.

I ran into some pretty shitty Husky fans in NO, so I don't feel too bad.

Meanwhile, Lane is trollin'

 

[Laxtonto 13,013]

So the funny part here with DeBoer is though Bama is in play, so is the Seahawks as well as a potential extension at UW with their move to the B1G.

 

Bama could strike out here as well and move on to their 4th(?) option on the list..

[Don Johnson 4,802]

I originally thought Norvell was out with his tweet yesterday about the future at FSU.  But apparently that was about a recruit, so he's probably still very much in play.

I just don’t get the Kiffin thing…but I mean if Saban has an office there now he would be the defacto HC for a few years…
