January 10, 20241 yr If sark wants to follow Saban then I don't trust his judgement. The next bama guy is going to be miserable until that fanbase realizes the a national championship every other year is not normal

January 10, 20241 yr Popular Post Just remember Alabama in Austin he was pulling his hair out and got away by the skin of his teeth He got retired by Texas in Tuscaloosa.

Pretty hard to walk away from. What? He's probably worth $100M and rides off into the sunset as arguably the best CFB coach of all time with time left to be the king of the state and spend time with the family. Guy's also a great announcer
January 10, 20241 yr Nick Saban reportedly shopping for real estate in Austin. (checks notes). Make that Sun City in Georgetown. Wow, figured this was coming next year, not this one. Gotta tip your hat to the man, he build an epic dynasty in an era when it wasn't easy to do even with favorable refs and poll voters. Damn impressive job he did. Deserves to go out any way he likes. By most accounts, didn't really do it all that slimy either compared to most in the SEC. Watching this coaching shuffle on both his staff and others at high profile programs should make for some interesting pre-spring football banter. Well played Nick, well played...

Pretty hard to walk away from. I don't think it is. He's won more than any coach in the history of college football. Has made enough $ for multiple lifetimes. He's 72.
January 10, 20241 yr Im surprised not to be seeing Ryan Day mentioned at all, Ohio State fans have been insufferable about 1 loss seasons
January 10, 20241 yr Out of the coaches that Bama would consider, the vast majority will probably just use the opportunity for a pay bump at their own school. Nobody coaching at a school that can afford to match bama's offer wants to follow Saban at Bama. Jimmy Sexton gonna make another $20 mil this spring just in commissions for the coaching deals he's gonna orchestrate.

We best have a plan. 13 minutes ago, Laxtonto said: NIL killed the Bama dynasty and Saban knew it And there's definitely a good bit of this. Bama could keep up with Saban and their recent history making up for their lack of cash, compared to the big boys....but not indefinitely.

January 10, 20241 yr 4 minutes ago, tx 3 putt said: Sark to Bama reasons why not: 1. following a legend is a coaching suicide 2. we will not be out bid 3. pride of ownership over what he has built here 4. we're in the SEC now. no conference upgrade in play 5. Sark and wife have a little Hollywood in them. Austin is much more "Hollywood" city than Tuscaloosa
January 10, 20241 yr In here to say Fuck you Saban for the championship in 2009. You were good because you had the best bag men and the best players, so respect, I guess.

January 10, 20241 yr Just now, Dbeasy said: Saban heads straight to ESPN most likely. Probably already had a deal done before he announced.
January 10, 20241 yr if it were me, i'd go after lanning from oregon or see if ol' pete carroll still has the energy/juice. lol, pete carroll in tuscafuckingloosa redneck capital of the world after 20 years in l.a. and seattle is kind of a hilarious idea. anyway, @4th&Five said something funny and profound to me today...mack brown outlasted nick.

January 10, 20241 yr Just now, Dbeasy said: Saban heads straight to ESPN most likely. some smoke of him replacing Corso. Also seems Dan Lanning is 1a to Bama at the moment.
January 10, 20241 yr 3 minutes ago, Dark Horse said: Damn, thought that fucker would coach forever. Average life expectancy for male in Alabama is less than 73 years old Nick Saban is… (checks notes) 72 and turns 73 in October.
January 10, 20241 yr 15 minutes ago, Laxtonto said: So... does that mean this Bama class is now all available to be poached? NIL killed the Bama dynasty and Saban knew it 100%. He wants no part of the portal and NIL. When he can't have 10000% control of everything he knew it was time to go.

January 10, 20241 yr Lanning, with Dabo having killed his chances due to ineptitude over last few seasons..
January 10, 20241 yr Despite having their NIL game in order, I think a lot of older coaches are really getting burned out on recruiting being an NIL bidding war. He used to just say "come to Bama. We kick ass every year and send dozens of players to the league." Now he has to tie $$ to it. Not that there wasn't some hanky panky going on before, but just everyone now has their hand out.

January 10, 20241 yr Popular Post Love how he didn't do a farewell tour like Coach K and force the spotlight on him. Farewell coach, happy retirement

January 10, 20241 yr Saban is coming to Texas to be a special assistant to Sark. He is pissed he lost to a yankee team and wants payback.-anonymous sources tell me. The anonymous source is me.
