Was it impossible for Saban to announce that this would be his last season in say, November
That would be possible but, frick dude. That’s the best strategy we’re left with? A coach has to know he’s going to retire in January, then announce it early in the middle of a playoff push with Auburn and Georgia on the horizon?


I think they need to look into different types of coaching vacancies and the timing of them. There’s no need for Alabama’s portal to be open 3 times in 4 months when they didn’t even fire their coach.

This is really the issue. The "special portal" for a select team or two with unlimited bidding on the roster is a problem. And when you throw in tampering without recourse, it can explode.

At this point, I honestly hope we've said "frick it" and pull an FSU/Texas aby tampering with a couple of guys on Michigan's roster in case Harbaugh jumps to the NFL this weekend.

The portal opened like December 2, announce it then.

Have conversations with each player and find out where they stand.

When you know someone is leaving, look for someone to replace him.

That's what every staff does anyway in exit interviews.

I mean the rule sucks but you have to figure out how to navigate the period with as little damage as possible.
