You know there’s another SEC coach who had a less than stellar career as an NFL guy, right?
Your assertion that he would not be a good fit at Alabama is an argument with merit where you can make valid points. Your argument that his coaching record is bad is the exact opposite. That dig about the losing season at FAU is a great point. Right in the middle of the greatest pre-Saban era in Bama history, Bear Bryant had back to back 6-5 seasons.
It also isn’t a Kiffin or Dabo argument. There are anti-Dabo posters who make poor, emotionally driven cases against him too. Dabo’s been very successful and likely be on any short list. Others have accurately pointed out though if he doesn’t adapt to the realities of the portal era his star is going to rapidly fade.

Yeah even I think Dabo will have to embrace the portal and NIL to have a shot here.
Even with NIL Dabo is still a better HS recruiter than Kiffin.
Dabo has signed four 5 star qbs in a row, Watson, Lawrence, DJU, and Clubnik. DJU and Clubnik have underperformed in college sure but the point remains that Dabo has signed four 5 star qbs in a row and Kiffin has never signed a 5 star QB.
Kiffin is a great portal recruiter but I would rather the majority of the team be recruited from HS then you fill a need here and there with the portal the way Saban does it.
