Nick Saban retires from Alabama

[Guest]

Never been a Saban fan. He's helluva coach but he just irritates the hell out of me.

NIL changed the landscape and a lot of older coaches don't want the headaches.   

Alabama should go after PJ Fleck  =) :p B)

Row the Tide

Washington coach Kalen Deboer negotiating a contract to become the next coach at Alabama. Good luck filling those shoes

DeBoer has been a winner at every stage...he had the best credentials of any other coach and he's only 49.  
Wasn't it ironic that he got the job and Dan Lanning at Oregon (who notably stayed in Eugene) was widely promoted as being the most likely choice?

Having said that, did any of you notice how much less "pep in his step" that Saban had this year?  He just looked tired.

Wondering what "Roll Tide Willie" is going to think about this? If you don't know who this is, check out his social media. Hilarious

South Dakota’s own Karen DeBoer is the new coach! Big congrats to him.

Not sure a guy with 3 yrs of FBS HC experience has the best credentials, but we'll see. A northern guy who's never lived/coached south of the Mason-Dixon line jumping from Washington to Alabama...His honeymoon period will be...well...

Thats a tough backfill for any coach, especially after another pretty good season for the Tide. 

Expectations will be high and I ain't convinced Bama got this right. 

Interesting how Alabama and Patriots both acted so fast. Does that mean they got their shit together more than many? 

Will be fun to see...

Hard to know with any college HC hire until the guy actually does it. Both Alabama and New England had plenty of time to think of this contingency so not surprised they acted fast.
