LOL. A panic hire and several other coaches who also have no ties to and no experience with or knowledge of the SEC, because of Bama’s 5 championships this century. It’s similar to why teams will look at Bronny James because of who his dad is.

Going to be a long offseason.

You're an idiot.

Remember when LSU hired Nick Saban? A man with no SEC ties?

Or when they hired Les Miles, a Michigan man with no SEC ties who was only a HC at OKST for a few years working up an impressive .500 record in the Big12?

Or when LSU hired Brian Kelly, a man who's closest SEC tie was a fake southern accent?

You are the only one in a panic that I see. Alabama replaced the GOAT coach with a guy who took over a 4 win team and had them in the NC game within 2 years while having a huge lack of talent. And now that same guy has been handed the keys to a program that not only already has top talent, but is built to keep bringing in top talent year after year.

Yea but this dude has the highest winning percentage of any active coach and took over a 4 win team and IMMEDIATELY transformed them into national contenders. Why folks believe this guy is Bryan Harsin level is beyond me. Panic hire? Deboer was on the radar day one. So were others but make no mistake, Deboers name was being mentioned early and often.
I wonder how many people here who say this was a bad hire actually went...damn, that's a pretty good hire...when Bama hired Deboer?
