Unbiased opinion, but I think Bama is going to regret holding onto Saban and letting Kiffin walk. May have a new SEC powerhouse in Oxford.

Agreed. Saban is washed up. Time to set him out to pasture.

Again, as a fan of the flagship school in Louisiana, unbiased opinion.

We will take him when we’re ready to take him. Not much y’all can do about it.

No...Why walk away from Saban now and get Kiffin. When they can keep Saban for as long as they want then go get Kiffin if thats their desire lol

If you're going to troll, don't be as stupid as the sidewalk fan or william taylor. At least make it kind of reasonable.

You realize if Alabama wants him when Saban retires they will just take him from you?

If this thread is a troll, it’s a really bad one

If this thread is serious, you’re just an idiot

The choice is yours.

so what you are saying is NS should have been fired when OM made overtures to Kiffen and hired Kiff instead. What Nikster retires Lane will crawl to TTown should they ask him to.

Oh absolutely.

College football is all about offense now.

Saban’s crusty arse knows nothing about offense. I don’t think he knows much about defense tbh (see the countless 40 point shreddings over the last few years).

He literally just sits on his can eating cream pies and sucking down diet sodas

Yeah it’s definitely time to move on from Saban. Please do so ASAP.

What have you seen from Lane that makes you think he wouldn’t run a school bus off the road to get to Bama to sign the contract the second they offered him the job after Saban retires in 2056.

I do believe Kiffin is smart enough to do this... plan for that one game, that one oppenent (Bama).

History has shown, when you beat Saban, a head coach can write his own ticket for either an increase or another job. Please ref: Sumlin @ aTm, O @ LSU, Malzhan @ Auburn.

But Kiffin is a mess. I've never understood the love for him. He's an OK game planner and caller but it's easier when you have incredible talent to work with. I do think he has a good rep w/ the player, though.

Also, everywhere he's gone, young women and daughters are at risk. He's not much better than Coach Yaw Yaw in that regard.

No, but they did mess up by firing Lane Kiffin days before the national championship game.

Still one of the dumbest decisions of Saban's career. I think it was one of those "emotional decisions" he talks about

You'd have to say yes.

Kirby and Kiffin begin the process of forcing Saban into retirement this year, hanging two losses on him by assistants and causing Bama to miss the playoffs.

His ego will be shattered.

Bama will ultimately wind up stuck with Dabo while Kirby builds the Death Star at Georgia in the East and Kiffin and Lincoln Riley alternate west division titles.

Football historians will look back and say Alabama waited 5 years too long.

But in the here and now, the Bama melt will be glorious.
