Wow.

Someone do a wellness check on Tusk.

Every asshole in Oxford just puckered up airtight.

[TrapGame]

Our DC needs to get as many defense players to follow him to State as possible.

I feel for Saban's replacement. Paul Rogers nor Adam Lambert could fill Freddie Mercury's shoes for Queen.

Lol. I think it will be Arnett to UA. It doesn't hurt to dream.

Not many could replace The Bear either... but they still won a Natty before Saban.

[Turfdawg67]

I guess Oregon will be on the market for a new coach in a week or two. Kirby and Lane aren't going anywhere.

[SaintDawg]

I felt a disturbance in the force as millions of Bama fans cried out in terror and then suddenly fell silent.

[TrapGame]

Yep, it's Lanning or Deboar. I'm sure this not taking Byrne by surprise. He was already on the phone today before Nick made it official.

[Bothrops]

Does Lane Kiffin jump right away?

[StarkVegasSteve]

If I had to guess the candidates right now, it would be Lanning, Kiffin, Swinney, and maybe Norvell. I would also look for Demeco Ryans to get a look as a WC candidate.

[BeardoMSU]

Every asshole in Oxford just puckered up airtight.

LSU might open up too if Kelly goes to Michigan. That's another job that Lane would want.

I'm in AL now and the Bama fans want Lanning. Swinney seems burnt out to me. That fan fired him up, but how long will that last?!?

[Turfdawg67]

Lol! Didn't even think about that. Dang!

[Mjoelner34]

Unless something has changed, I think Harbaugh is playing his cards close to his vest but he did drop a little hint in one interview. He said his favorite color is black and the Raiders job is open.

Pretty sure he means he wants the saints' job



I wish

[RocketDawg]

I'd guess DeBoer. He's young with a lot of years left in him, and he's a good coach.

[Dawgology]

Every asshole in Oxford just puckered up airtight.

Nah. A blue blood program hasn’t gone after Kiffin yet. There’s a reason For that and it isnt because they can’t outbid Ole Miss

[Turfdawg67]

Nah. A blue blood program hasn’t gone after Kiffin yet. There’s a reason For that and it isnt because they can’t outbid Ole Miss

If he keeps winning, it's just a matter of time though. I don't think it'd be Bama... prob LSU. UF for sure, but I guess they don't qualify for BB status.

[LC Dawg]

What about Sarkisian?

[Mjoelner34]

Imagine now if Kirby bolted for the Falcons. Lanning could name his price and probably get it with Oregon, Bama and UGA in the mix.

[DownwardDawg]

Does Lane Kiffin jump right away?

He won't be offered

[DownwardDawg]

What about Sarkisian?

Certainly a candidate

[StarkVegasSteve]

What about Sarkisian?

There are not many schools that could outbid Bama, but Texas is one of them.

[dawgday166]

Lol. I think it will be Arnett to UA. It doesn't hurt to dream.

With Brad Peterson and Will Friend.

[msstate7]

What a career. We got to see the GOAT.

[dawgday166]

He died in 1983 or retired from NFL in 1995.

One more year and Saban could have had 300+ wins.

[Homedawg]

Lane was gone to auburn last year when his daughter stepped in. I mean ready to sign the papers gone

[Tripp McNeely]

He won't be offered

Lanning to Bama
Kiffin to Eugene

[Commercecomet24]

Lane was gone to auburn last year when his daughter stepped in. I mean ready to sign the papers gone

Yep.

Lane wants closer to his home and investments in Florida he's not going west coast

Auburn is a long way away from being a blue blood these days.
And my source told me long before it was public that Freeze was Auburn's next coach.
I have very few sources that I trust. This cat said freeze was always number 1 and Cohen was watching the process take place.

[Turfdawg67]

There are not many schools that could outbid Bama, but Texas is one of them.

Didn't they try to get Saban from Bama 7-8 years ago? Bama won that battle.

[Commercecomet24]

He won't be offered

Don't be so sure about that.

[Maroonthirteen]

Dan Lanning
Demecco Ryans
Joey Freshwater

[Turfdawg67]

Our "generation" got to see a lot of GOATs: Maddox, Saban, Rice, Woods, Brady...

Indeed

[DownwardDawg]

Don't be so sure about that.

Anything is possible, but I would be super surprised if Bama offers Kiffin.
It would be glorious though.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Kiffin does not have enough top wins or high enough rankings to be considered at Bama. DeBoer, Sark or Norvell will probably be closer to the top of the list. Kiffin might go to UF next year though if Napier gets fired

Kiffin shrivels up like Mullen in big games.

Tired of not being able to coach. There?s a reason they went downhill when this garbage started

Only if someone beats him out. Who would that be?

I was told Bama isn't interested in Kiffin at all. I'm not sure if I believe that or not but I could see it. He doesn't "fit" there. He's a child. He disappears in big games.

Think back when the Bear retired. Alabama wanted somebody to come in and be another Bear and pick up where he left off. But they went through several head coaches before they found Saban. The job sounds great at first blush, but when you think about it, it might be a near impossible one.

[Turfdawg67]

Yeah - I was about to say "have these boosters learned from the sins of their fathers?" Bama boosters wanting to replicate Bear kept them wandering a good bit from 1983-2007. Will they break down in a power struggle between boosters wanting different coaches or can they stay unified? Will the get impatient when the get Ray Perkins or Mike Shula instead the next Saban? Will be interesting to watch.

[Saltydog]

I was told Bama isn't interested in Kiffin at all. I'm not sure if I believe that or not but I could see it. He doesn't "fit" there. He's a child. He disappears in big games.

They would be fools not to be somewhat interested. You can discredit Kiffin all you want but he's kicking our teeth in. Imagine what he would do with Bama's talent.

[parabrave]

Rep given

I would absolutely love to see it happen. No doubt if they offer he's gone.

I in now way discredited Kiffin. He's a good coach. I'm telling you what I was told. And you have to agree if you think about it, he loses his big games.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Bear died in 1983.

Bear did it in an era where he had more competitive advantages than Saban. Saban had the same 85 scholarship limits, Saban has rich boosters at other schools that were also trying to buy players, Saban had other schools spending tens of millions on their football staff.

It's just a lot harder to win today than it was back then. It's like FBS vs FCS, the competition is more serious and unforgiving

Moreover, Saban has a higher win %, more national titles, and has Nattys at 2 schools. By no metric other than "total wins" is Bear the better coach

[Tripp McNeely]

They would be fools not to be somewhat interested. You can discredit Kiffin all you want but he's kicking our teeth in. Imagine what he would do with Bama's talent.

He is having more success at om than any other coach in the last 20 years has had...without cheating.

[Turfdawg67]

Bear also should've won a Natty at KY if they had voted the polls after the bowls. He can take his'n and beat your'n and your'n and beat his'n. Saban can't do that and NO TEAM has had more advantages than Saban the last decade +.

And I now realize the REAL reason Saban is retiring. Freeze almost beat him with this sorry AU team. Saban don't wanna face Freeze when he gets AU talent. Don't wanna recruit against him either. Saban skeered of ole Freezus. LOL

Bear "lived life to the fullest"... let's be honest. If he'd been "all in" and lived to be the greatest, he could've set all the records. Granted, he had a much better hand dealt to him, obviously.

Don't those boosters remember Kiffen costing them a Natty? Wasn't he the one that decided to start throwing against Ohio State in the semifinal when they could have simply run their way to a victory?

[LC Dawg]

Sylvester Croom is now forever etched in history as the only Mississippi State coach to beat Nick Saban.

[viverlibre]

If I had to guess the candidates right now, it would be Lanning, Kiffin, Swinney, and maybe Norvell. I would also look for Demeco Ryans to get a look as a WC candidate.

Not Kiffen - too immature and they want someone who lives football
Not Swinny - lost his fastball and too slow to adapt to NIL/Portal
Demeco and Sark wouldn't come
The knock of Deboar is he has no experience in the SEC

Lanning and Norvell are the top two candidates.

They are gonna have to miss in their first couple to get to him. But I'm sure he's on a top ten list. W 3/4 of them no chance of taking it. Sark etc

Kiffin is the sole reason Bama lost to ole miss in 2014. Bama was rushing for 5-7 yards per carry right before the half. So they came out and committed to the forward pass in the 2nd half. It's was mind boggling.

[DownwardDawg]

Sylvester Croom is now forever etched in history as the only Mississippi State coach to beat Nick Saban.

It's gonna definitely interesting to see this play out. I think kiffin down the list too but theres some folks over there that love him. He wouldn't be my first choice for sure. He's basically Dan mullen. Has trouble winning the big ones.

[Todd4State]

That's the thing. Everyone's assuming that they're going to get their first choice. That may not happen. They'll probably shrug off the lack of big wins and just say "Eh...it's Ole Miss. What do you expect?"

That's the thing. Everyone's assuming that they're going to get their first choice. That may not happen. They'll probably shrug off the lack of big wins and just say "Eh...it's Ole Miss. What do you expect?"

And that is one way it could play out. They see him winning 11 at om and think he's worked miracles, don't count those losses to bama and uga cause om couldn't beat em anyways lol!

[Todd4State]

Om, tampering? Naw, no way, lol!

An Ole Miss tradition like no other.

I remember when Coach O called up Tulane's coach after Katrina and asked him to send players to Ole Miss if their program went under.

[Todd4State]

And that is one way it could play out. They see him winning 11 at om and think he's worked miracles, don't count those losses to bama and uga cause om couldn't beat em anyways lol!

I mean it is kind of true. Sure they beat Alabama with Freeze but one of those was incredibly fluky with a ton of turnovers. And even Kiffin has kind of hinted at the fact that Ole Miss doesn't have the resources to compete with Alabama and Georgia.
