Kirby obviously, but that's a no go. Who should Bama have hired?

Schumann imo.. but DeBoer was a good hire too.. I just think he will leave for the NFL at some point.

One of the first 4 that said no.

All the people that turned Bama down per your administrations list

It was funny watching all of the Bama fans say BK was a bad hire, not a good fit, wouldn't be a good recruiter, and was LSU's 4th choice.
But it's funnier to see them getting mad when the same happens to them.

Someone that wasn't at Fresno State two years ago and has signed a Top 25 recruiting class
Kinda like one of the 3-4 coaches that told you to frick off!

This is about as safe of a hire as it can get. There were going to be risks with every single one of these candidates other than Kirby, but his accomplishments in such a short period of time makes him the "best" risk. The guy has flat out won everywhere he's been. He's already 5-0 against two of the other candidates (with lesser talent), Lanning and Sark.

Lanning or Lane would have had me worried
DeBoer is a good coach, but 90% of his resume is the minor leagues.
He just doesn’t scare me. Certainly happy to have him at bama bc I don’t think he will recruit Louisiana very well

Including those who turned you down?
Or just out of the ones who didn't?

The guy we hired is a great X’s and O’s guy but you have to be a great recruiter in the SEC.
Remember what Saban said to Mal? “You’re hiring a shite coach but no one will our recruit me.” Now obviously he was poor mouthing his coaching abilities but it definitely all starts with recruiting and this was an X and O hire instead of a recruiting hire.
Kiffin would’ve been phenomenal. Evidently he banged a boosters wife though.
Sark should’ve been given a fully guaranteed contract. Texas wouldn’t have matched it.
If not Sark it should’ve been someone off of one of Saban’s staffs.

I would have talked to Matt Campbell at ISU.

DeBoer is a good hire. Lucky for the rest Of the SEC there will be a notable drop off regardless.

Now that Saban has hung up his whistle I do not think there is another coach out there on his level. Kirby would be the closest I guess but Kirby is coaching at the place he played at in college so he is not gonna leave for another college unless he has a serious falling out with the AD or something like that. There just isn’t any big name coaches anymore. There are a lot of good coaches but college football doesn’t have the legendary coaches it used to have.
Just look at college football coaches from the 60’s until the late 90’s. You had Bryant, Paterno, Royal, Spurrier, Bowden, Woody & Bo, Parseghian, Holtz, Osbourne, Neyland, Schnellenberger, and Jimmy Johnson. All those guys are just to name a few. We do not have Coaches of that stature in the game today now the Saban is gone. Urban Myer was on the level of Saban for a few years but then he self destructed. Dabo was on the level of Saban for a hot second but has fell off drastically. We just do not have big time coaches in the game anymore that everyone would just die to have and it’s sad because nothing is better than watching 2 legendary college coaches square off against each other.

Lanning or Kiffin would have had me concerned. I'm less certain with Deboer

LSU goes out and poaches Notre Dame’s winningest coach.
Bama settles for a flash in the pan NAIA guy.

There's just no way to replace a legend like Saban, not without some tough times and dark days ahead for the Tide. History has proved this. It's the college football laws of physics. I told some of my Tide fan family members, get ready for about 10 years and 3 coaches and a few trips to the Citrus bowl before Bama returns to the top. Just keeping it real.
