Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

kind of a gamble imo. but i guess anyone replacing saban would be.

hope he fails spectacularly because fuck bama.

I think his daddy was the coach at Fresno State for a long time if I'm thinking of the right guy. I think Bama is safe hiring a young up and comer that's gonna row with these NIL punches and not moan and grown about how it used to be in the good old days where it was just a small group of school's paying players and refs off.

No, HE was the coach at Fresno St. before he went to Washington.

ok it was stuck in my head that this was daddy (Tim DeRuyter) but obviously that is not the case.

This.

But the guy has won at every stop he's been at.

Yeah, I'm afraid he'll be good wherever he is. Maybe being from Idaho he'll clash with the culture, at least I hope so.

Saban did more, with more. He took a great player and made him elite. He cultivated an atmosphere of excellence. His commitment to shaping that atmosphere is practically unparalleled in the sport.

In the world of NIL is it necessary to be that type of coach? Instead of being a springboard to the NFL now Alabama has to compete with lesser programs, with equally deep pockets, without a legend to guide the program. A kid can become very wealthy before being able to legally drink nowadays. Needing Alabama's status as the king of college football and having the GOAT coach them isn't as important anymore to make substantial money playing football.

DeBoer may be that type of coach. It just amazes me that this was the guy. Maybe Bama's trailer park trash fan base scared off more marquee coaches. Who knows?

You weren't gonna hit a home run after Saban. DeBoer is a solid hit to keep the rally going. He will be what Gene Stallings was to Bear Bryant...or Les Miles was to Nick at LSU.

[bigpig]

Odds are he'll have a few 9-11 win seasons, then have a disaster 6 or 5 win outing and get fired.

I give him 4 years.

[vegashog]

his first sec game will be when georgia comes to town.

That's a tad more generous than I've penciled in.

I'm curious where the money comes in. We're about to be reminded how shitty our front office is.

Stallings was 2 or 3 coaches after Bryant I think.

RE: Kirby Smart taking Falcons job (potentially) based off 4 day old rumors


How fed up can you be with college football when it comes down to you still making millions. I get it with the NIL/Portal is not what these coaches signed up for, but at the end of the day if you are an accomplished coach like a Saban or Smart even..at some point if you cannot sustain success because the goal posts keep moving you just take your dump truck load of money to the bank on the way to the lake and say fuck errbody.

If you are a young coach or otherwise still eager to make your mark on the game it's certainly very stressful having to navigate all this shit these days. For much of the coaching world though a 12 team playoff sounds a helluva lot better than a 4 team playoff. That opens a lot of doors, keeps players "bought it" (maybe) *additional rates and fees may apply

The early signing period I think for many of these coaches is a total shit show. Add in the early period for portal guys. It makes it make sense for schools to go ugly early by shit canning their head coach half way through the season so they are get a jump on selling that new chicken to the fans.

If you are a bowl team it makes it damn hard to focus on recruiting so you better have an excellent support staff and organizational structure. You better have your shit together on NIL collectives. You better be able to answer questions from yokel media competently or they may imply mean things about you as they walk around an empty stadium

Anyway there was a point in here somewhere and I think it's mainly coaches will have to fucking adjust to this. The way this has all been handled is stupid. You cannot have a competitive level playing field by having a "salary cap" anymore than it is possible for a 115th ranked D1 team to realistically compete with a TOP 10 program. It's just not going to happen. There are too many schools in D1 FBS as it presently exists.

True, but the point is for what you get to fill a legend's shoes. My point was, the hire is on par with those. I personally think it's as solid a hire that you could get. And I think he will follow what Stallings and Miles did in bringing at least one Natty to Tuscaloosa.

[buff2.0]

Holy hell.  Georgia just picked up Tavaris Robinson as co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach.

He was at Alabama last year as defensive backs coach.
