Alabama Future Head Coach- Just a thought

The primary target would be Smart.

Lol, Smart ain’t leaving. You know that, right?

And Saban wasn't going to leave the Dolphins. You never know until you ask. But right now, if you ask the powers that be in T-Town, who their first choice is, they would say Smart.

I bet he is on Notre Dame's list. And would be on Texas's too, if Sark should fail. And then sometimes NFL teams are desperate enough to try a successful college coach, even though it rarely works out. There are many better coaching jobs than UGA, Bama is just one of them.

Never mind..

I’m sure your right.

8 years from now when Saban retires, because that’s what you all think.. so I’m sure that’s what will happen.. Bama will be looking at 54 yr old UGA alumni and most successful coach of all time, who’s by the way from Georgia and married to a UGA Alumn. Who’s family runs so deep at UGA. I’m sure he will want to leave and follow Saban when he’s already built his own thing in Athens. That makes perfect sense!

Hopefully, by that time Schumann will be 40 a Bama Alumn and have a pedigree as good as Smarts was when he got the UGA job.

Your right, my apologies for proposing and actual possible scenario that’s 8 years from now.

I didn’t want the conversation to go this way.. and Smart maybe would leave for an NFL job, hope not.

Even though Saban is easily today the GOAT of college coaches and HIS program is an envy to most. Alabama IS NOT a better job than UGA in itself without Saban.

Alabama has a real rival in a state of 5 M who’s high school football is average at best.

UGA really has no competitive rival in a State of 11M, with Elite high school football.

There is a difference in being the best college football program and the best job in college football.. they are not the same….

Btw I don’t think UGA is the best job either, I be always thought UF is the best opportunity for college football, they live a recruiting hotbed. A huge population center from central Florida to north Florida.. It really is the “State of Florida’s school”. Miami focuses more on just the city, but Florida really has a much larger pull the State. They have great resources and their Athletic department is really good at everything. They basically exist in a portion of Florida that is twice the size of Alabama with much better high school football.

Also, Think LSU is a great job close second.

Your right UGA didn’t lose the DC from arguably the best defense in college football last year.

Do you have any idea exactly how the SEC and its coaches work? Many coaches that were alums of one school, coach at another. If you think being an alum of that school prevents them from leaving for another school you are fooling yourself.

No, you wanted to ponder our coach and our future, but I wanted you to think about yours.

Not according to Nick Saban whose said UGA is the best job in CFB.

8th largest state in country.
3-4th best in state talent
No in state competition for talent
Elite facilities
Top50 school nationally
Top 5 college town

All of those except facilities Alabama lacks. The difference in UGA and Alabama historically are two elite coaches and a 100% commitment to winning. UGA has had three good coaches historically but never a great coach and never a 100% commitment to winning. Well they are committed now and they may just have their great coach.

however, you guys have yet to deal with other teams going after your coach, and poaching his assistants.

Lanning, Tucker, Coley, Chaney

Kirby has dealt with two sets of OCs/DCs being “poached” so far
