Here's Who Paul Finebaum Would Put His Money On To Replace Nick Saban, Jeremy Pruitt

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

It will always be a fun game to discuss who will replacement Nick Saban when the time comes, but I don't think that time is coming anytime soon. However, ESPN’s Paul Finebaum thinks due to Dabo Swinney's new contract with Clemson, he's putting his money on Jeremy Pruitt to be Saban's successor when the day comes...

Hugh Freeze if Saban has 5 more years in him.

Retire the Bama HC position. Play soccer on Saturdays.

Either God or Satan, depending on the day.

Dabo's made the playoff the last 3 years but each year he has struggled to beat an SEC West also-ran in the regular season. I doubt Dabo wants to deal with 6 SEC West opponents and an improved Tennesse program every year.

I put my money on Jerry Springer to replace Paul Finebaum when he retires! LMAO

Which SEC west team did Clemson 'struggle' to beat?

Tillman•60 months

Texas AM was the second best team in the SEC last year and Clemson won at their place before there was any film on their team. Clemson was the only team to win at Texas AM last year.

Dig up the Bear prop 'em up on the sideline.

Funny "Arse Chit"!

LSUFanMizeWay•60 months

Mike DuBose will replace Nick Saban.

JackieTreehorn•60 months

Clappy couldn’t coach a pee wee team.

atltiger6487•60 months

no coach should want to follow Saban. Better to let another guy do that, and fail because it's impossible to live up to Saban's standards, and then come in after that.

KosmoCramer•60 months

It depends. If you have a completely stocked team with 5 stars, hard to turn that down. And Bama will back up the brinks truck for their top replacement choice.

eugene1928LSU•60 months

He'll leave you with 3 good years after that it'll be on you. It's a must that O beats him this year, even if its on the road.

HarryBalzack•60 months

Worked out pretty well for Les Miles.

PhilipMarlowe•60 months

i support that hire. lol.

Gatorbait2008•60 months

Lol. That would be lovely.

Gatorbait2008•60 months

Lol. That would be lovely.

BobABooey•60 months

But Pruitt isn’t an LSU castoff.

SkintBack•60 months

Don't care

JackieTreehorn•60 months

I'm for letting the wealthy donors and boosters pick the next coach via a fax-in campaign. Worked like a charm for choosing Stallings successor.

SaintLSU•60 months

Lol it will be Dabo and it’s not even close. That 6 million buyout is nothing for Alabama.

LSUAlum2001•60 months

Nah. Dabo will replace the guy who replaces Saban.

Jumbo_Gumbo•60 months

L. O. L.

tigerfan84•60 months

Who in their right mind would want to follow that act?

Skinny•60 months

Hey Pawl. This is Teddy from Tuscaloosa calling. Do you think that Alabama football should disband after coach retires? Ill hang up and listen.

LSUsince74•60 months

Coach O supports this prediction

idlewatcher•60 months

Honestly wonder if Dabo will be feared to play against as much as Saban is. If we’re honest, most of us look at our schedule thinking (or knowing is some cases) that our team will lose at least this game every year.
