You’d be crazy to walk in there and take on the expectations of a fan base following Nick Saban

I would be shocked if he was considered. I’m happy with him, but he has had one good year. If I’m a Bama fan, I’m hoping they are shooting higher than that.

He pre-emptively turned them down. basically said 'don't call'.

this narrative needs to die. Have you seen how much coaches that get fired are walking away with these days...see Jimbo and O. A coach would be stupid not to take the job if he as an agent worth a damn he will be set for life.

You don’t know what the frick you’re talking about.
The school wouldn’t call any coach. They would call the coaches agent. That’s how they find out if there any interest in the job.

Lane is probably negotiating right now between his agent and Gumps. Until he says no on Twitter or in person he’s a leading candidate.

That's my take as well. If you're going to go through the trouble of poaching a coach from within the conference I'd want a little more than one good year *but* BAMA's also likely to find that a lot of coaches want nothing to do with following a legend.

It happens almost every time a legendary coach retires in almost every sport. The program tells themselves they can get whoever they want and then finds out otherwise. Not many want to walk into the situation.

I have sent an email to the athletic department and told them I do not want to be considered.
