I think a feeler may have been put out but he was never offered the job. Byrne wasnt gonna pay some stupid high buyout.

Don't know why people give a shite about stuff like this.

Lanning is the better recruiter, DeBoer is the better coach. Despite recruiting much better and having that Nike money, Lanning is 0-3 against DeBoer.

Pretty sure the order they are called doesn't determine how good they are.

Definitely never let the media, or anyone else, know your top candidate.

The candidates side will probably leak it to get a counter-offer, but once the public knows everything turns to shite.

Nobody truly knows who was or wasn't offered the job. Its all pure speculation. I lean towards DeBoer being the only guy offered because of how quick the hire happened. DeBoer has also beaten Lanning all three times they faced off, with lesser talent too.

Do you know him, does he call you at home?

I lol when fans make a statement of fact when they have no fkn clue what happened behind closed doors of a team they like. None of us do

Because the media sites hoping for clicks and internet rumors on boards like this said he was?

Lanning was said to be Alabama’s No. 1 target after Saban announced his retirement. However, the two sides do not appear to have ever talked


Recent podcast with Lanning not sure why rival fans finds it so important for him to be.

Given how quickly the job was filled, it's hard to believe anyone else was offered.

Bama got their third choice as coach. everybody knows that. they are hyping the coach hire to make it look like it wasn't too bad.

I am just excited you aren’t pretending to be an Alabama fan any longer.

I heard that Lanning is not a Jimmy Sexton client. Therefore, he was never considered by those in position of authority. His payoff was ridiculous, in any event. Why is it important to the rant to think that Lanning turned down Bama? DeBoer beat him twice last year.
