I agree. Very bizarre. Reminds me of the time LSU hired LK. Bama posters here, you included, said he sucked, but then turned around and claimed they could and would hire him away from LSU.
Very, very bizarre behavior here.

Nobody is paying that buyout.
We don't put high buyouts on our coaches. Nick Saban could have left at any time and Alabama would be owed $0. He never had a buyout for leaving.
If someone wants to take DeBoer, the buyout is like $4 million. The buyout you are thinking of is what it would cost Alabama to fire him, which I think is like 60+ million right now.
So really, all anyone has to do is make him a better offer that he wants. Same as it was with Saban.

I gotcha! I don't think he is leaving for that shite show up there. It would be a dumb move.

Yeah, I see no reason for him to leave. Unless he just wants the cupcake schedules etc. We've got the #2 class this year(and I wouldn't trade with the #1 class), so he's going to get everything he needs to be successful. The only downside is that we are in the SEC and play tough schedules.

I don’t either. I think he stays.
But, there is definitely a logical reason to leave the expectations of Alabama to an easier Big10 schedule and room to rebuild Michigan.

Keep your dress on, Sally. It's the same reason everyone ribs us about Lane leaving. Everyone likes to poke a little. Kinda like your uncle did, when he babysat you, when you were a little girl.

I know I wouldn't want to go up there and freeze my nuts off during the winter. I don't like that area of the country anyway. Lower Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana all suck balls. There is nothing to look at. I would rather live in Wyoming or Colorado if I had to deal with snow and colder temperatures.

For sure, aside from the mountain views, the lower humidity makes a huge difference.

How is he destroying Bama football? They’re in the fricking playoff

That and fishing in the North Platte river is therapy to me. I need to get back up that way this next summer.

Nice post, rare to read a logical response on the SECR. Well done and Happy Holidays to you sir.

Wait until you find out some of the horrible things LSU fans posted about Lane Kiffin before he was hired by LSU. Heck, I can remember when Lame was hired at Alabama. He was going to destroy Alabama football. Those were fun times.
And I have never said he would be hired as Alabama’s head coach. I am on record as saying he is blackballled at Alabama, and the only way he would be hired is if Alabama has a new AD and a few particular influential boosters die.

I'm from Louisiana, and I went to two different SEC schools. I can look at things without my Purple & Gold sunglasses. I loved my time in Starkville, and I loved my time in Baton Rouge. I am currently laid up keeping warm on the couch with a 55 pound male 3-year-old English Bulldog.

real Alabama fans. I'm saying, in real life, I don't know any. Lane Kiffin is not an option at Alabama, and never will be.
He will be in Tuscaloosa by 2030.

And now it's Georgia that is the end of Alabama.
When have I ever said this?
Don't be silly and try not to show your insecurities. I'm sure some trolls have possibly said some of these things on behalf of Georgia, but i have not seen them. I have seen others, and myself say that at this time we are the dominant team in the SEC. Do you you even want to attempt to deny that?
Let me make my case:
We have won 3 of the last 4 SEC Championships.
We have won two national Championships since Alabama's last.
I mean, I guess you can counter with Alabama has beaten Georgia 8 out of the last 10 times we have face, but even there it is 3-2 Alabama's favor in the last 5 so that even shows a slow change.
Nobody is saying Alabama is done or will not recover, but for you to insist that Alabama is still the dominant force in the SEC shows a lack of awareness on your part of what has transpired over the last 5 years.

Haven’t you heard? Kiffin will take the job ASAP.
Folks often joke about this but here's the thing.... Joey keeps receipts.
When a program rejects, he is just as likely to return the favor. Those in the know, said this played in his decision w/ Florida, which was the better location for him to retire.
That stated, Kiffin can do absolutely great things at LSU. The question is, can the disfunction of an administration and the disfunction of the man, make it last.

I've heard from insiders that Kiffin extended his U-Haul rental for 2 more weeks and has only unpacked the bare necessities, just in case Bama fires DeBoer.
