re: Kiffin is THE obvious successor

I say Dabo. If Saban bolted in the next year or so. He took Clemson to the top. Nobody can say that. Once he gets accustomed to the new ways of CFB he will be right back in the hunt.

Lane still has a lot to prove. (Plus he hired Golding) He has failed in so many jobs that hoping he has grown up to go along with a few decent years does not warrant the Bama job. Freeze and Mullins both had great years at the Mississippi schools but looking back none of us would take either of those guys.

If Dabo embraces NIL and the portal by the time Saban retires he’s my choice.

I think this sentence alone is the answer why Dabo can never be allowed to coach at Bama.

He cant adapt to anything. He couldn't adapt when he lost his coaches most notably Venebles. How many times has CNS had to completely retool the team and keep on marching.

He hasn't adapted to NIL- Saban had an entire NIL department and sales pitch for recruits about how Bama would help their brand.

Dabo is what he is... he's a guy that benefited from playing in a very weak league. A guy that benefited from keeping all his coaches together for a long time. A guy that benefited from having not 1 but 2 generational QB's.

And finally a guy that benefited from being one of the first to go out and steal signs, and actually use that to his advantage.

His teams look like shite, and play down to everybody they play no matter how bad they are. He sounds like a doofus in front of a camera.

Can you imagine Dabo in this new SEC with these grueling schedules, with a heavy hitter every weekend ? Dabo wouldn't even be in the top tier of coaches in the SEC.

NO, no, just say no

I would be sick if Alabama hired Dabo.
