Nick Saban: Retired
Most hated man in America.
Re: Nick Saban: Retired
Wow. Greatest college coach ever.
And so begins the most sought after job in college football in years.
My guess is they go after Dan Lanning.

I hope they sign Ryan Day!!
Re: Nick Saban: Retires
Agree, he should. Deboer is only 49. Could
get 15 years out of him easy.
Re: Nick Saban: Retired
Watch Coach Prime go to Alabama. Talk about shocking the system.
Most hated man in America.
Re: Nick Saban: Retired
Michigan retired Nick Saban and Alabama: )

Kirby Smart is now the new king in college football.
Re: Nick Saban: Retired
I believe that NIL is one of the main reasons behind his retirement.

Re: Nick Saban: Retired
He whined and bitched his way into the playoffs over FSU and after he lost to Michigan, FSU fans began flooding him and his wife with threats and hate mail.
The FSU fan base harassed him into retirement

Re: Nick Saban: Retired
He maintained the best recruiting even after NIL. He wasn't against it, he just thought it should be regulated.
He's old...there were rumors he was thinking about retiring after his last NC.
Re: Nick Saban: Retired
End of an era, wish Saban luck moving forward in whatever endeavor he chooses.
It'll be interesting to see who Alabama choose to go with for a head coach, and what kind of downstream effects this will have on their recruiting. Bama currently has the second or third best incoming class depending on the source you like best.
Apropos of not much, national champion Michigan has the 13th to 15th ranked class.
Bruh.

Re: Nick Saban: Retires
I also think that would be a bad move with his stance on the portal.
Doesn't he have a multiplier on his buyout if he goes to Bama?
Re: Nick Saban: Retired
If it's not Dan Lanning, then Mike Norvell and Steve Sarkisian are the person to keep an eye on.
It's tough to replace GOAT like Nick Saban. There will be growing pains. They can't expect an undefeated season every year. End of an era

Re: Nick Saban: Retired
I know you're joking, but seriously, do you think Ryan Day will survive the SEC? He can't beat Michigan with an interim coach, and he can't beat Missouri.

Re: Nick Saban: Retired
I don’t think he would survive in the SEC. He’s far too soft. That's why I don't want him at OSU.
Dude can recruit -- no doubt about that. And unlike say Tressel, he doesn't lose to teams they shouldn't lose to - in fact, those games are rarely close unlike Tressel. I think his future would be about what his past has been -- win nearly 100% of the games they are favored. Lose to few teams that have both the talent that OSU has and have a meaner streak. Lots of 11-2, 12-1. No titles.

Re: Nick Saban: Retired
Sarkissian has a premier job at Texas so I don’t see him leaving there.
Dabo would def leave but I’m not sure Bama wants him.
Landing will prolly be top choice, but will he leave?
Norvell would be great choice for Bama, and with everything that’s happened with FSU and the transfers, he may be interested.
Kalen DeBoer makes sense because Bama would be an upgrade for him big-time and he’s an up-and-coming HC.
Lane Kiffin also makes sense and is prolly on the short list.
Pete Carroll would be a great short-term option if they want to groom someone.

Nah, he’d do great.

The portal is just more recruiting, which he’s great at.
Re: Nick Saban: Retired
I don't think he's someone you would hire to rebuild a program. He's someone to hire as a stop-gap to keep recruits from leaving and transferring. I think he could transition back to college no problem.Buc2 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 11:07 amYou don't feel Carroll has been out of college football too long to be able to successfully transition back to that level?Navybuc wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 9:13 am Sarkissian has a premier job at Texas so I don’t see him leaving there.

But I don't think they'll bring in Carroll. I think they're going all-in on Dan Lanning. If they don't get Lanning, it's Lane Kiffin.

Not the first, but possibly the most rabid. Let me tell you something, a lot of us were pissed as hell that we got left out of the playoff because of the collusion between Saban, ESPN and the CFP.uscbucsfan1 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 10:49 amI don't doubt that.

Very few expected or thought FSU was worthy of a spot prior to the actual announcement and the made up narrative that collusion took place.
FSU wasn't one of the 4 best teams...hell they weren't one of the 6 best teams in the country.

This is why no one takes you seriously, Navy.

Breaking: Dan Lanning announced he is staying at Oregon Football after posting a video to social media.

• FSU’s four leading rushers (Trey Benson, Lawrance Toafili, Rodney Hill and Travis)
• All five players with at least 20 catches (Keon Coleman, Johnny Wilson and Jaheim Bell plus Benson and Toafili)
• Interception leader Jarrian Jones
• Four of the nine players with at least 40 tackles (Jared Verse, DJ Lundy, Akeem Dent and Renardo Green)
• FSU retains only 196 of its 2,039 rushing yards and 927 of its 3,373 receiving yards
FSU's D was extremely underrated.
