t's not really, who would I have hired, but who would I have gone after...
A) someone that has experience leading a large program with a demanding fanbase
B) someone with experience handling the spot light
C) someone who embraces the new era of recruiting, nil, and portal
D) probably someone in the late 40s to mid 50s... That's the right range of experience for this job.
Deboer doesn't fit those, in my opinion. He's like giving an 18 year old the keys to the Porsche. He doesn't have a and b.
I'd look at large program guys in the NCAA... Wouldn't be opposed to shaking some trees in the NFL ranks.
The coaches you just described aren't available. They're already at big name successful schools like Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, etc. They're not making a lateral move to come and be compared to the greatest college coach of all time and be found wanting.

Exactly, Alabama with Saban was one of the absolute top jobs in the country. Alabama without Saban will be difficult: taking over after the GOAT. I can imagine Sark rather staying at Texas. Like Lanning: he'd rather be the coach that comes in AFTER Saban's successor.
