Saban rumor?
- Thread starter NashLA
- Start date
If this is true - which I doubt there’s any truth to it - then that may explain why Kiffin “wasn’t able to get another HC position. He’s definitely still got contacts within the Bama program and boosters, so it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that he would get a heads up on that info before it got out.
Whoever his replacement is will need Secret Service type protection if...
things start heading south even the slightest bit...

Nice to dream, but that SOB will be there for another 10 years, football is all he cares about.
Kiffen will be down the list as a replacement, he's too immature. Dabo will be their target, and they will make it hard for him to say no.

Kiffin will be a Confederate till they fire him. Very few programs will touch Kiffin, Ole Miss is about as high as he can get.
I've got some contacts in Clemson. 3-4 years ago Dabo wouldn't go to Bama, but I'm hearing now that he would listen, & it may be sooner than later. I haven't heard anything about Saban. Hopefully Dabo won't go. He'd just keep the train rolling.
You are wrong about football being all he cares about. Saban has a deep and abiding love of the almighty $$$!
The only reasons I can fathom for Saban telling his team he was retiring are if he got a really dire diagnosis from a doctor or if he was in serious trouble with the law. I hope it’s not the former, and I’m confident it’s not the latter.
Whenever he leaves Bama will be in a tough spot. They will expect to hire a home run but there will be some hesitancy from that caliber of coach because you don’t want to follow a legend. Would be interesting if he did leave soon and they hired Bill O’Btien considering he replaced JoePa at PSU.
LOL at Kiffin. Some of you are obsessed with him some kinda way, NTTAWWT.

He is a perfect fit for that program
Lie, cheat and scam. Tries to change his image constantly like they do mascots.

So the rumors about Lane and a prominent Bama person's daughter are NOT true.
I was skeptical, but never completely discounted it.
Yes, it doesn't make sense. Saban fired Kiffen before a NC game, does anyone think he'd allow Kiffen to be his replacement? They've had the most buttoned up coach in college football over a decade, they not replacing him with someone who can act childish. They'll go "all in" Dabo.
Disagree. Dabo and Saban are completely different coaches, and the programs at each school are totally different. Not to mention that chances are very low in general, of "keeping the train rolling".
If your sources have any degree of credibility, I'd have to question Dabo's mental competency. He's absolutely got it made at Clemson (nice new house on Lake Hartwell), slow pace of rural life (except on game day), fans/administration all-in. All of those factors would go 180 degrees in the opposite direction should he decide to go to Tuscalooser. I've lived in the SC upstate for over 30 years (very close to Clemson for a while). Dabo leaving Clemson for Alabama would be absolute lunacy on his part IMHO.
The Hawkeye Report has an article about Saban telling his players that he is retiring. Supposedly he will make a public announcement after the season is over
More MSU fans are infatuated with all things Ole Miss than Ole Miss fans are infatuated with MSU. I don't understand it, I'm as condescending as hell to them, most of our fan base acts like little brother who beens picked on his whole life. Since 2000, of the big four sports, we have the more successful programs, really the only thing they have on us in the last ten years is two victories over Saban.
You’re dead wrong about the little brother syndrome. However, the Kiffin obsession in our fan base is mad weird. This board alone probably talks more about the douche canoe up there than their own boards- which is weird af.
We gotta good coach, they gotta good coach. Leave it alone.
None of that changes the fact that he’s a Bama alum, and state of Alabama native. Do you think Saban didn’t “have it made” in Miami? All these coaches are living the high life, even at G5 schools. Yet they all still pursue bigger / better jobs (according to whatever their perception of that is) at some point. Some damn lake house isn’t gonna keep him from taking over at his alma mater if that’s what he has in his heart that he wants to do.
well..... we have a serviceable coach w/ a ****** kicking game. period. the end. said kicking game is good for at least 3 W's. upgrade ****** kicking game to serviceable then you're 10-2 and you have a good coach with potential. No trying to be a dick but special teams are part of the game...just the messenger here. gotta stick it between the uprights.
Mullen to Tuscaloosa - 10 year contract at 12 million a year with no cut stipulation in the contract. He will lead recruiting for them, but only in the off season.
Pretty good move for them, I think.
