re: Dabo Swinney on Alabama job: 'You never say never'

Call me crazy, but I still have doubts about wanting Dabo at Bama. A few years ago when people were talking about that possible succession I thought he was in over his head and would be chewed up and spit out at Bama. Did not want AT ALL. Now he has obviously enjoyed great success and has legitimately built a power program. Still I just don't know how his personality and act would play as Alabama HC. He's very different from Saban to me and maybe that would be a good thing rather than someone trying to copy Saban? I don't know.

Dabo, like Saban, had to get it figured out. After getting arse blasted by West Virginia he made the necessary adjustments to get those things corrected. He went out and recruited better on defense, got a better DC and kept grinding away. He is different personality wise from Saban, but is more than capable of having Bama in title contention year in and out.
