Thanks for the correction. I actually meant in the sense that Michigan knew what it wanted to do in naming Sherrone Moore quickly after Harbaugh's departure or Ryan Day at Ohio State following Urban Meyer. Granted, no assistant coach on the Alabama staff was qualified to be head coach, but the AD should have been better prepared and being ready with a short list of elite coaches to target. I cannot believe that Kalen DeBoer would have been on such a list. His success was based at Sioux Falls, Fresno State, and only wo years at Washington. Ideally, Alabama should have done much more to keep Sarkasian and have him ready to step in when Saban left. Then it would have been a smooth transition rather than the loss of key players and recruiting jeopardized.

Please name available coaches that could have been hired with a better resume than DeBoer.

Moore had been Michigan’s OC for 3 seasons. When was the last time Alabama could keep coordinator for 3 seasons that was worth a damn. If they were halfway decent they were gone in 2 years if not sooner. Plus I doubt Saban knew 2 years ago he was going to retire now. At most he knew he was retiring when this last season was coming up.
