I think it’s a pretty good hire


They had to hire him cause everyone else, Lannjng, Kiffen, Dabo et al turned them down they are not dumb enough to follow Saban. Deboer jumped at the major move up and money. He has no fricking clue that he just jumped into a shark tank. 3 loses next year which is probably the ceiling based on their schedule and he will be on the hot seat.

Spot on! I would like to be a fly on the wall at his house when he finally understands just what he has gotten himself into. I bet that’ll be an interesting conversation.

They may like football out in Washington. They may even be passionate about it. But, they’re not “shoot your friend because she didn’t take the loss serious enough” passionate.

I just think he’s an elite X’s and O’s guy and roster management guy. The gamble is hoping he can assemble a staff that recruits well and that to some degree will Alabama football recruit itself? That I’m not as sure on. Also the idea of Saban still having an office and casting a shadow over the program is insane

The speed in which this hire happened does not allow me to believe this. We saw it in our own coaching search every dick, Joe, and Harry turned us down.

He hired Sexton a month ago and I think he was one of their top choices to begin with. I think this was in negotiations a while ago. He’s not a bad transitional hire and could end up being a great hire just as he could end up being a bad hire. Time will tell. However, this was a pretty good move by Byrne. Even if it was the only move he had if your assertion is accurate.
