THIS_IS_FINE posted:A lot of smoke around Deboer to Bama. Worst sports week ever if it happens I'm probably being  -brained but Deboer at Bama seems like a bit of an odd fit. When I try to envision what each looks like there, I feel like Lanning is probably better able to assemble something that looks something like a modernized if somewhat diminished version of Saban's machine, but at the same time I guess it's hard to argue they're going wrong with the guy who just never loses.

It’s bad enough that he’s leaving, it’s even worse if Mrs. Terry is in bad health. C-Euro posted:Asked my dad (Michigan State alum) how it feels to have seen Saban lose his final CFB game in-person, dad responds "Great! Good riddance mf'er". Some grudges never die. I was at the 2011 Capital One Bowl and he can stay mad. Get rekt old man.

Would Bama hiring Deion be funny or not? I kinda don't want good things to happen to the guy who manually strangled several people at a previous job, plus Bama seems like a school that would succeed at covering up an abuse story.

Deboer or Norvell being hired would be such massive dick punches. Virtually anyone else is funny (now that Lanning is off the board)

If there’s anything to the Sark talk I think the end result is just that he gets a raise at Texas.

Saban's saying no illness involved, he just more or less got old and can't handle the insane grind anymore: https://twitter.com/finebaum/status/1745549219606225224 which you know, same

texas, in the absence of the black hole power of saban, suddenly looks like the superior job if you ask me. It's them and Georgia in the SEC next year, at least it feels that way.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:texas, in the absence of the black hole power of saban, suddenly looks like the superior job if you ask me. It's them and Georgia in the SEC next year, at least it feels that way. Saban wasn’t an amazing scheme guy. He built his success on recruiting. His run was basically proof that you can recruit at the absolute top level Bama for decades. That speaks to a level of institutional support and location that simply may not be possible at other places. It may be (sure seems to be at Georgia), but we know for sure that it’s possible at Bama. That in and of itself makes it an attractive job.

PostNouveau posted:People wising up. Impossible act to follow and all these candidates can get just as much money where they're at That makes sense for Oregon and Texas to be sure, but Kiffin? I don't think Ole Miss can match Bama. But also Kiffin has a good thing going with maybe the #2 team in the SEC next season and much lower pressure to win it all every year than Bama. I thought for sure Bama would get a homerun hire, but most of the homeruns are off the table already. We are slowly creeping toward the funny outcomes, like Dabo.

Soul Glo posted:I really doubt Arch Manning completes his college education I would bet big he's got a degree in 3 since a guy like him probably will stick around all summer and get extra credits in. Will it be a meaningful degree? Who knows, but I'd be surprised if he finishes his college playing career without a degree.

There ain't poo poo for replacement rumors or whatever, but there are definitely current players and inbound recruits that will jump ship or decommit if it's not Moore. That said, nobody really, truly knows if Harbaugh is gone yet: https://twitter.com/Rosenberg_Mike/status/1745498467454111793 dude's fuckin weird with a weird brain that values "being wanted" over anything else and won't necessarily believe the president/AD saying "LOOK MOTHERFUCKER, WE STILL WANT YOU" if there's standard contractual clauses about Level I NCAA violations

Saban was excellent schematically on defense, he was excellent at coaching up players, and he was excellent at recruiting. He was even excellent at recognizing his weakness on offense and getting good coordinators to cover for him there. There's a reason he has 7 national titles.
