A late transfer in the portal from OM to Bama. Meltdown coming. Enjoy.
Would be hilarious but he would be their 4th or 5th choice at best. And they will get their 1st choice
Man, following Saban is still going to be brutal.
I can definitely see Lane to Bama....but it will be in 2 years after they fire their next hire.
Hopefully Lane takes the LSU job when Kelly goes to Michigan.
Another lense to look at this through. Lanning takes the Bama job and Kiffin goes to Oregon.
Will he bring his girlfriend through the portal or recruit another one off the UA campus?
Nah he's top two.Quote:

Mike Norvell (carried on the whining over not making the CFB playoff a little too long)
Kalen DeBoer (no experience in the Conference)
Democo Ryans (he wouldn't come)
Sark (wouldn't leave Texas)
Lane Kiffen (too immature, wants to be bigger than the program)
Dabo (lost his fastball and slow to adapt to portal/NIL)
Funny, I can't see Kiffin at Bama at all. Terrible fit.Quote:

Well that's the other side of the coin. It's going to be hard to find someone that wants to be the guy after the guy.Quote:

They've missed on several options if Kiffin gets the job. He would certainly jump on it, but so will others. Coaches aren't scared like posters seem to think they are.Quote:

Kiffin will be much higher up on the list of whoever Bama poaches from than he is on Bama's list. I'm guessing he is no higher than 5th there.
I'm telling y'all Kiffin wants a Florida gig. I'm about 90% certain he was Miami's #2 guy while they negotiated with Crystabol. If Crystabol had stayed in Oregon it would have been Kiffin.
He would fit in well at FSU, but them not being in one of the Big 2, makes their future cloudy. They'll eventually make it to SEC/BIG10, but it may be several more years.Quote:

You may be on to something here.Quote:

Now that makes sense.Quote:

If he stays at OM, he will definitely make the playoffs the next couple years but it will be another 3-5 years or more before he can fully load that team with the depth of talent Bama stockpiles has year in/out.
And quite honestly, with NIL, OM may now never be able to acquire and retain that depth of talent that Bama can continue to do annually.
Everyone remembers where Byrne came from and which college has a rising star about to be stuck in the medieval ages. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the next Saban, Jedd Fisch.Quote:

Hot take.Quote:
