Guaranteed 9 wins a year, just as much financial support, less crazy fanbase…. and good coaching gets you to 10 or 11 wins on average.

Stop. He’s not leaving Alabama to go to Michigan.

I believe this is in play, especially if Alabama loses to Oklahoma. Both parties will be looking for a way out.

Unless he just really values getting a true blue blood gig, Alabama is better in every respect.

But it could be a better fit I guess.

I would be shocked if Deboer left Alabama to go to Michigan, unless Alabama made it clear to him that they would not be particularly broken-hearted if he left. I do not think that is likely with them in the playoffs.

The reality is the path is much easier, and if he even replicated his results from Bama and Washington they would build him a statue.

I never thought Penn St was a real thing, I think Michigan makes a real run for DeBoer though.

Bama fans say the school makes the coach though…so yall good right?

I think the broader CFB world discounts most of the pre-Saban, Bear-era lore at this point. It lacks the upper crust element of ND, Michigan, et al.

But it's a better job than Michigan unless you just really care about pure prestige.
