re: Honest question: when Saban retires if Dabo says no who's on deck?

I honestly don't know what his mindset would be about it. I think he is probably the best known quantity that would be reasonably available (Meyer and Harbaugh, obviously, are out). I'm not the biggest Jimbo fan, but he recruits great players and has consistently very good teams year in and year out. He is as consistently good as anyone in CFB.

I could be wrong, but I think he would jump at the chance. Bowden was on the downswing, but still a lot of coaches would have hesitated to take the roll. He would never have to argue about staff salary or facility upgrades there either. I think he is one of the big name guys who would not hesitate to take over.
