Here comes the Saban-Belichick-O'Brien-Young reunion. Saban will be co-GM with Belichick sitting next to Tepper while Belichick gets his record before retiring to the owners box. Belichick & Saban getting part ownership of the team.

Expected & not wanted

 

At that point I’m good with the cleansing glow of WW3 nuclear Armageddon.

People have talked about Dabo to Bama for years.

But a move makes zero sense for Dabo IMO.   Dabo is basically number 2 to Saban in this era.  He gains nothing by going in behind and being worse.   Just hurts his stock and legacy….and it’s harder to be nationally relevant for him there vs where he is now because of the competition. 

Don’t disagree…but would be a trip

I think he means suck like the Gamecocks.  Not finishing up an irrelevant #20 in the nation type suck.

No way…Belichick has 51 years of NFL experience…he isn’t going back to school.

that's obvious. /sarcasm

Kirby Smart…

Definitely bad timing for Clemson. Dabo ain't feeling the love in Clemson. If Bama wants him he's almost certainly gone.

[CRA]

Oregon coach is the one getting all the talk on the interwebs 

Dabo more likely to pull a Saban and just retire IMO.  Saban and Dabo both tried to talk to folks about the NIL era and nobody wanted to listen.  New era ain’t for either one.

There are some real BS takes in this thread. Saban is absolutely the GOAT of college football coaching. People here downplaying the coaching because of the recruiting must not fully grasp all that being a head ball coach entails. 

While Bama has had great recruiting classes during Saban’s tenure, several other programs (Georgia, FSU, OSU, Texas, Florida during the early Saban years) have had classes consistently ranked close to or above Bama’s. Based upon this, one could (should?) assume that those same programs should have multiple NCs over the same time period, if Saban were just a JAG coach. To the contrary, Saban has gotten more out of his recruiting classes than these other programs. 

He is absolutely the GOAT when it comes to all that being a head ball coach entails.

GOAT! Not a fan of Alabama but respect is earned.

Lots of jokes, me included but he is one of the best ever no question about it.  Many will say Bear and that’s hard to argue but he is clearly one of the best leaders in sport’s history

ESPN is showing on their ticker that Bama's big receiver recruit just de-committed because of Saban's retirement.
