NICK SABAN RETIRING

[Rupert Jenkins]

The obvious and best hire would be Dennis Allen

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

 

[Baddog11]

Judkins obviously saw the writing on the wall in Oxford.

2024’s own real-life Nostradamus

 

[Mjoelner]

I feel like an Ewok celebrating on Endor at the end of Return of the Jedi.

Made me think of this:

 

[dawgman42]

And throughout the wilderness of east Mississippi and the state between it and Georgia . . .

 

[Dawgpile]

Since that's what most will post on this board because they want it to happen, it's a sure sign it won't happen.

 

[Baddog11]

Dan and Megan would be ready to make the move about right now. . . .

 

[Baddog11]

Can somebody please start a new GIF thread dedicated to what backwoods bama fans are doing tonight.

 

[BossDawg78]

Lane has to be near the top of the list.

Wouldn't surprise me if they let Lane’s name float out there just so he can turn down the offer and stay in great metropolis of Oxford.

 

[HRMSU]

His team lost in OT to the NC. His methods were still working.

He wasn't down with having to re-recruit his team every year....he even alluded to that.

His style doesn't play long term with people getting paid and their ability to leave just see Miami tenure.

Last but not least the playing field for the blue bloods have evened out especially the Northern teams and slanted more towards large alumni/fan bases with higher than average personal income. That's not Bama.

 

[katfsh]

Auburn is already cleaning up the trees

 

[Dawgg]

Not gonna lie... after seeing all these well wishes from fans, media, and other coaches... I kind of want him to get up at his press conference and do this:

 

[Perd Hapley]

Of course he would retire the time we don't play them every year

Exactly. This has been official since the new schedule format was announced.

Welcome Bama recruits!! **

Can recruits that just committed/signed and I’m not sure what’s the word I’m looking for here… “transfer”, or maybe uncommit and recommit elsewhere? Or does an ncaa commitment mean what the actual word means in that they have to play their first year at where they committed to do so. I guess I’m asking if they can they transfer before they’ve played a year or only after they’ve actually been on the team? I’m sure every one of them were lied to about if saban was going to be their coach. Seems like they could appeal whatever rules there are about commitments.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Scared of Lebby.

Prolly

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Shad made me chuckle a little.



But we all know that the result of the investigation will be probation for Cleveland State…

 

[Badon]

Does Daniel Hill have an option to bolt?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I'm sending my resume. They want someone who can use the company card at strip clubs, right?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

 

[Mobile Bay]

Lane has to be near the top of the list.

I have an uncle, big enough Bama booster that the AD and him hang out on the sidelines during games. He may be pulling my leg, or he may be serious. But he says Lane Kiffin.

 

[Mobile Bay]

Can somebody please start a new GIF thread dedicated to what backwoods bama fans are doing tonight.

Their cousins

 

[L4Dawg]

You can expect the Rebs media parrots to have Kiffin as a top candidate, just like they did for Auburn last year. He was never getting that job and he won't get this one either....and they know that. They just want to say he chose us over Bama.

Saban announced retirement today to keep spotlight off of state v Tennessee tonight

I know they get a special 30 day transfer portal. I think whether or not they can get out of their NIL deal depends on each player's specific contract.

 

[patdog]

Wow! Did not see that coming. Zach Arnett is available. Just saying.

2024’s own real-life Nostradamus

I think Quasimodo predicted all of this.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

It is because he doesn't have that easy path that the SEC west gave him all these years.

It appears that they have to formally request a release from their NLI but that can’t be denied in case of a coaching change.

Please correct me if that isn’t applicable to all NCAA.

Off to a slow start, but Toomer's Corner is being rolled

You know you’re good when rival does things like this.

 

[pseudonym]

Kiffin’s best class in five years at Ole Miss is #14. Alabama’s worst class in that span is #2.

Alabama may not offer him the job, but Kiffin isn’t turning it down because of the talent in Oxford.

Tuscaloosa does have Target…

 

[RivaDawg]

Remember who the Bama AD is. The ninja ain’t going to 17 this up.

 

[GloryDawg]

Some things they have going for them.
1. They are Bama.
2. They have a ton of money.
3. They have the Ninja.

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

Tuscaloosa does have Target…

Yes. But it is an old Target with Swinging Doors and Sawdust on the floor.

Pretty sure Ms. Terry had a lot to say about this decision. She has sacrificed herself for Nick's career. Now it's her turn.

She lived a life of luxury, fame, adulation and comfort that 99.99999999999999999999+% of Americans would kill for. Huge sacrifice on her part.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

This stat is just stupid...

 

[T-TownDawgg]

Pretty sure Ms. Terry had a lot to say about this decision. She has sacrificed herself for Nick's career. Now it's her turn.

Nicholas Saban is a complete elitist ******* of unspeakable proportions.

Ms. Terry is actually one of the sweetest, nicest, most generous persons in Tuscaloosa. She will be more of a loss to the actual philanthropic/outreach community here than her husband. I honestly have no idea how much she influenced any of his big decisions, but I’d guess a lot.

Make no mistake about it, Ms. Terry ran the Nicks Kids Foundation. She says it will continue here after they leave.
