A panic hire


So you seriously think there was a national title game, Saban decided to retire, Alabama interviewed other candidates, then interviewed DeBoer, negotiated a deal, and hired him….all within 4 days? If you actually think that then you are very unsmart.

DeBoer was the choice all along and had already agreed in principle even before the title game.

Why did Saban say he wasn't even sure about retiring until 5 minutes before he actually announced it then?

I have heard those rumors too, and I realize that sometimes the whole story isn't told, but this ESPN article this morning indicates it didn't happen like that, but that DeBoer and Norvell were the only candidates seriously considered.

Good article.....
