I honestly like this coaching hire. Saban could have retired when portal opened but what Coach would be available and what kind of buyout would Bama have to pay. If DeBoer is your target he had a contract sitting on his desk for a while he wouldn’t sign. Kiffin was just not a possibility. He burned a lot of bridges in Tuscaloosa.

I think it's a good hire, you just can't expect to retain your players when you hire a coach and staff who have little to no connections to your players.
