re: Why is it important to Bama fans that Lanning wasn't offered the job? But we know he was

Disagree completely... Lanning has done well and is a good coach and may prove to be the better coach. Right now Deboer looks like the best bet. We won't know for several years. I am happy with our choice and Deboer obviously wanted the job, which is the most important criteria in any job search.

What we do know is this, NIL has completely changed the landscape of college football. Going to be much tougher for any team to be dominant moving forward.
