Nick Saban retires

Never gonna happen. He's got Miss Terry to keep him grounded, and I seriously doubt that would happen anyhow. Saban is a lot smarter than Tubs.

I'd pay good money to see him primary Tuberville, though.

 

You and I both know that it's going to be that shit 24/7 until the new hire's presser, then they'll take a breath and cut it to 20 hours a day.

 

Lanning
Sark
Ryan Day
Kiffen

That sound about right?

 

Yeah, I was today years old when I learned Bear did a stint in alcohol rehab a few years before he died (and then began drinking again). Different times for sure.

 

Dabo. And Harbaugh as the wild card.

 

Dabo's contempt of the portal has driven Clempsun in the ground. I don't think he's a legitimate candidate at this point. Harbaugh's going to the NFL if he leaves Michigan. And coming off two suspensions for cheating, yeah ... Albert Means ....

 

Of all of Saban's accomplishments this has to rank near the top.

"His Tide teams were ranked No. 1 in the AP poll in a remarkable 15 straight seasons." Miami Hurricanes are next with 7.

 

It is still possible that Dabo has some backers. In general I agree with you, but I think he still makes the list.

Sark is in a top tier job already. He might come, but reason says stay clear and don't try to follow Saban.

Lanning is in a good spot. Down side is that he does not know how well Oregon competes in the B1G, but Uncle Phil is still around. Might come, might pass.

Ryan Day has good reason to jump, but I think they go for an SEC guy first if possible.

Kiffen is producing, and maybe he's over the worst of his antics. Possible but only after a couple of guys turn it down.

I remember how many guys passed the job up before Saban took it. I wonder what the count will be this time.

 

Fifteen of seventeen years. That's strong.

 

Folks, the name is spelled Kiffin.

 

Mississippi's state auditor, a man who has made his name busting embezzlers at all levels of government across the state, chimes in:

 

Eugene TV station reports Lanning is in Alabama.
