Because Bama didn't need a coach when LSU hired Saban. DuBose had just won an SEC championship that year and they were preseason top 5 going into the next season. When DuBose tanked out, Saban was not going to leave LSU that soon.


Wasn't Bama still settling for hiring guys from within their own circle as well?

Yes, DuBose was a player under Bryant and DC under Stallings. But regardless, they did not need a coach in November 1999 when Saban was available, which answer the question why they did not go after Saban at that time.
