Y'all think they got a buffet spread laid out in the conference room while they go over numbers? Lol!!


This made me bust out laughing.

Sexton has had a plate a minimum of once every 30 mins.

Deboer has moved from like -200(or more) to +115(still a slight favorite) so no one knows anything.

Starting to suspect it may be Sark. If he's getting a contract extension, UT could have been putting either a huge buyout, or a non compete clause in it. If Sark was Saban's chosen successor, Saban may have pushed his retirement ahead to get him now. Just a theory.

72 hrs is 3 days. Given an unexpected retirement, 3 days is pretty quick turnaround, considering the impact in modern college football.


It's an absolutely fast turnaround. One that I don't think could happen almost at any other school. And the portal combined with school starting makes that kind of speed important. But thank God we're in a position to make it happen. There's no reason to wait except if we knew wanted and could get someone like Demeco.

So is the general assumption Kalen or Sark with the possibility of an outlier that we haven’t heard? Or do you guys think Dabo and others are still in the mix?


From all the gatherings it’s probably Sark, DeBoar, Norvell.


Outlier is possible but who and how?

Georgia blew them out in the Orange Bowl

The fact that he is still there i think indicates the search is over and they are finalizing the details.

Damnit Boz. Do you really think it will be Deboer or Sark? I would kill for Sark but he will just get a raise out of this I suppose. Your source needs to pick his game up … I want definites damnit

Easy. Kiffin. He's very popular in Tuscaloosa and is begging for the job.

I mean yes that happened but he didn’t have his team and I think part of that is his fault. I don’t like him honestly.

We don’t know exactly what happened with Lane and boosters possibly. But he left abruptly and took a job at FAU of all places so it’s safe to say he didn’t leave on the best terms

So if the booster thing is true they might not be willing to suck it up for him


He definitely left in a shitty way. And I'm not sure if the rumors are true. But it's Joey frickin' Freshwater, and the jokes are too damn funny not to make.

I was very anti Kiffin. But he has grown on me over the last few years. I wouldn't sharpen my pitchfork if he was our backup hire. I just think we can hire someone who'd be better.

But I've got a damn pitchfork and torch that's handy.

I think Sark is in this. It all comes down to is he willing to leave Texas and did Saban ask him to come. But I think the 3 I listed are all possible.

I'm assuming Sexton is still waddling around the athletic complex. Maybe he left though. He could have just been there to handle Saban's new contract, but I think it was to hammer out all the details for the new coach.

Don't worry...all the posters like RollTide1987 who want more of those 3* lunch pail guys from Alabama because it means more versus the 5* from Cali are going to get their wish


I mean, who wouldn't want 11 coaches on the field at the same time?
