Thought this was a discussion of a successor when Saban retires in three to five years. By then the ability of Ryans as a head coach will be much clearer. He may or may not be right for the job when the time comes. Let’s see what happens.

I hope Greg Byrne is still here when all this goes down. I also hope Saban gives him a season long heads up and steps down after signing day so that there is no recruiting hiccup.
Passing along the best roster in college football will help. As of right now today, one can still argue we have that.
I would develop a list of the best 5 coaches in the world, college or pro, and start at the top.
Go for the best, just like with Saban. Don't talk ourselves out of anyone as being "out of reach".
I think we have at least 3 years. Maybe by then Dabo has adapted and come back strong. Maybe Kiffin has continued to improve.
The most important thing is, don't be so arrogant as to think that, at Alabama, we don't need a great coach to win. It was that sort of arrogance that cost us 20 years of championship contention.
We could have had Schnellenber at his prime at Miami. We could have had Bobby Bowden at his best, with 12 years of dominance left. and we hired a mediocre Bill Curry because we thought that Bama will win regardless of coaching.
Imo Bama has earned the right to be called the most professional, attractive destination in College Football, possibly in football. Not only did we get Saban, but we gave him everything he asked for. We gave him a blank check and the freedom to build an empire.
We have to go for the best. Kiffen, Dabo, Kirby(more time at Bama than Georgia), Sarc... I don't care who they are, we can get them.

Kiffin or bust for me
Kiffin will go for it on 4th down at the fifty on national TV if he feels like that's what he has to do to win. In other words he isn't scared to be second guessed, or what people will say about him. He will do exactly what he thinks has to be done to win - that takes balls. A lot of people fear the kind of second guessing that comes with that, but Kiffin is more of a DGAF kind of guy that calls his own shots.
He comes from the Saban tree, but Kiff was HC of the Raiders when he was 30 years old, and his father was a defensive minded legend. When you think about it there is no other guy that has the pedigree or the ego to attempt to replace Saban.
I think as the trips to the bars and behavior of youth fade away, and all that is left is football for a guy like Kiffin you're looking at a coach that is poised to come into his own.
I think the crowd at Kiffins first Media days as Bamas head coach would send a clear message to the entire league and recruits as Kiffin would instantly be more polarizing than any coach in the league. The media can't get enough Kiffin. It would be comical to see how much more exposure he would get than Sark or Kirby.
I think Kiff is a day 1 keep the train rolling hire assuming he has the right coaches around him. I think he also continues the tradition of the highest profile coach being at Bama which we all have grown accustomed to, and that would burn texas and mUlliGAn fans asses up.

I agree, Kiffin. He can't mess it up to bad
Posted on 1/10/24 at 5:32 pm to BFANLC
He messed up USC pretty bad after their dynasty.
Posted on 1/10/24 at 5:34 pm to CrimsonFever
He's a totally different person now and you know it.

He can bring his favorites, no doubt.
We need to start blowing up kiffin on social media.
Now, How do you do that ? I have no idea. Dont social media

The sanctions messed up USC, Kiffin did not mess up USC
USC then further messed themselves up by hanging on to Clay Helton three years longer than they needed to

Kiffin was the coach he definitely had a hand in messing them up. They still had a ton of good players. Recruiting has never been his problem.

My brother in christ, they were starting walk-ons at receiver
He pulled a top ten recruiting class with thirteen total recruits because of scholarship reductions

In football years that was 100 years ago.
He has matured. He's not just a brilliant offensive mind anymore he's a great CEO. He is the only guy with the chops to pull off stepping in for the GOAT. He was the HC of the Raiders when he was 12 years old.
LK best years are directly ahead of him, and if you put the power of the Bama brand and resources behind him he will absolutely put the greatest show on turn on display on Saturdays. 40+ points per game

Why are you so argumentative these days ? You were always a lot of fun at Woolly. Now you find out whatever the popular opinion is and try your best to shite on it.
I mean that as a joke before you get all angry, and serial downvote me for another solid month. (I know it's you)
