Do you guys want that? It may be what it takes to keep him.


I'd be ok with him being the next guy when Saban leaves. I'm not sure the technical, legalities of head coach in waiting are allowed anymore, so I'm not sure how all that would work. If I remember correctly being named "coach in waiting" went away because it limited recruiting.

But I'd be fine with him being the next guy.

Surely it could be informal? The only other time I remember that really working though was Jimbo at FSU. Muschamp bailed on Texas for UF before he got his shot there.

No, his record at Washington wasn't stellar. His resume is not worthy of the Bama job.

the semantics of a contract could be worked around. I know a lot of Alabama fans are against the coach in waiting situation, by whatever name, but it would help alleviate the negative recruiting you know will happen as Saban grows older.
