This is all I needed to hear to explain why Tommy Rees is a finalist for the job.
No self respecting coach is going to take that job with Saban “overlooking him” from his office in the stadium.
Honestly, the mere thought of that is laughable. If you don’t think so, I’ll point out that Nebraska had the same setup with Tom Osbourne AND the already mentioned Tennessee with Phillip Fulmer. Look at the following 10 years of those two programs after those two “retried” from coaching.

Saban will still be the most powerful man on that campus after he “retires”. No one is brave enough to tell him NO, and he will be allowed to do whatever he wants with the football team. I wouldn’t be surprised to even see Nick become AD at some point. Now it makes sense that they went from Sark, to Lanning and all of sudden Reece is a candidate. No proven HC will come in and not she full control of the team with oversight from the previous coach. This search could be worse than Nebraska and Tennessee had following Osbourn and Fulmer.

Didn’t Ohio State keep Jim Tressel around for “fund raising” after he resigned?
