If he goes to Bama ... Primetime will be headed to Tallahassee

Norvell is staying at FSU. 8 year extension.

If I were a Bama fan, I would be pushing for DeBoer. But I think it really could be just about anyone

Called it!

It's hilarious a multi-billion dollar organization can hire a new HC in 48 hours and it takes a PSAC team 7 weeks because of all the hoops to jump.

Could Washington hire Pete Carroll?

Some seem to think so.

I would have thought that the job would've had to be posted in a similar way to how a coaching job at a PASSHE school would be posted, but Alabama laws could be very different compared to Pennsylvania. (For context: Iowa's offensive coordinator's job had to be publicly posted like any other UofIowa job due to state law.)

It's very possible this was in the works and Alabama was doing its due diligence before Saban announced. But Alabama is actually run by its secret society, The Machine (not Bert Kreischer). They call the shots and act like a shadow council of trustees. If you defy their wishes, you're asked to resign or your contract isn't renewed. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a Machine pick and they presented everything, contract terms and all, within hours of Saban going public.

The guy had a pretty good gig at Washington. I know they probably waved the big bucks at him in Alabama, but I wouldn't love to be the one following Saban there. The coaches who immediately followed Bear Bryant did not have an easy time of it. You certainly can't accuse him of backing away from a challenge.

It’s not called the See Everyone Cheat conference for nothing

Alabama is a state represented in the U.S. Senate by Tommy Tuberville. Think about that.

Ray Perkins had that honor bring the first after Bryant. Stalking had that one “title” in 92. Alabamastan was in shambles when Saban was hired. They were apart brand at the time.

NIL and the transfer portal hastened his retirement. He can’t collect all the best players anymore.

I think it’s quite possible this is what happened.

Claude Gilbert, a former player and later the Head Coach at my alma mater San Jose State died last week. He was 91 years old. Prior to San Jose State he was the Head Coach at San Diego State. He was a nice man and a great coach. I wish his family well. Rest in peace Coach Gilbert.

Yep. It’s a third world cesspool.
