He's built for this modern day semi-pro model that college has become.

He's young, and he already has what seems like a 100 years of experience under his belt. I feel comfortable predicting his best years are ahead of him as he continues to put it all together and mature.

Nobody could replace Saban, but Kiffin with the Bama brand and resources would kill it on the recruiting trail, and keep Bama in the hunt every year especially with expanded playoffs.

He will always have an elite QB, and that usually means elite WR's, skill players, etc.

His kids play hard for him, and he shows a lot of fire on the sideline. I believe I've finally arrived at a place where I feel at peace with Kiffin being the guy, and even a little excited about the idea to the point where I'll be disappointed if it's not him. The only other name out there that interest me is Lanning.

No thank you on Lanning!

Before any one of them...Terry Saban is the first.

Saban looks and acts like a maybe 62 year old coach. Kiffin will have a legit position long before Saban retires.

Yeah and I think Saban knows Kiffin wants it as well.

I really think Kiffin saw the throne and saw what came with it and from that point has made him it his goal to take it

Bama is a different animal. I think Lane would do a great job. Plus he has a little smart arse in him.

Why would Lanning interest you but not DeBoer? DeBoer has done more, inherited a worse situation, and keeps beating Lanning.

I agree on Kiffin. I want him, but he has to leave Golding in Mississippi.

Idk why we think the successor has to have coached here before. I wanna go out and get the best coach available period. Not the beat coach we can get that was a coordinator here.

I don’t think we need to just stick to guys who are current CFB coaches either, we took Saban from the Dolphins.

This is still the same Lane we told to get fricked mid playoffs because he was too engrossed with sucking at his next destination in boca raton???

Kiff occasionally slips in a Roll Tide when being interviewed. If the timing is right, it’s Kiff.

Would like Lanning or Schumann as well but I wouldn’t be upset with Kiffin

Would be shocked if it’s Kiffin. Dude embraced the college lifestyle a little too much here. No way the final decision makers have forgotten. Hope I’m wrong tho.

Can’t deny that he’s matured. A little. I’m sure he’d slob many a knob to get the job as well. But he’d also be most likely to peg Big Al at the 50 yard line during halftime of the spring game. What a day.
