Lanning was never offered. It was Sexton working his magic. $30 Million buyout was never an option during NIL era. Byrne flew to Seattle Wednesday night after Saban retired. DeBoer was offered Thursday morning.

We offered the guy that is 3-0 verses Lanning. 2-0 verses Sark and 2-0 verses Lincoln Riley.

If Lanning was never offered because you knew you couldn't pay him, fair. Alabama, from what I've heard is closer to middle of the pack in NIL in the SEC than to the top three or four schools.

If Lanning was never offered because you didn't want him, you're stupid. What Lanning has done by year two in his head coaching career was more impressive than anyone else on your list of possible hires.

Lanning might not have been offered, but it wasn't because of anything Sexton did at the last minute. Lanning's buy out is $20 million, and it was included in the extension he signed back in the summer.
