The sport has changed. The factors that kept Saban recruits at LSU when he left are no longer there.

I think any intelligent person knows this. They had this in place for several days now.

Close, Franchione’s first name was Dennis. Mike Dubose was the first Mike after Stallings.

I think Mike Price would have won here. Not like Saban but it would have been fun.

Mike Dubose has been spotted in Tuscaloosa.

Les Miles won the 2007 Championship with 75-80 percent of players he himself recruited.

Gave upvote b/c this is where fans earn their fandom. Everything is all rays and sunshine. We, like always, are going to win the national championship every year no matter the odds.
Time to earn our crimson stripes since we've been in get [FAT af] mode for 17 years.

Then he should be hired by now.

I think kirby had to get a new haircut as part of the contract. Gonna take a couple of weeks to fix that crap.

Saban definitely made a recommendation or two and some phone calls. He isn't going to leave Bama in a complete vacuum.
Kirby ain't leaving UGA. Dabo... shine is kind of off of him. Lanning not enough experience.
No doubt Saban recommending someone he knows well, that coached under him at Bama, and has HC experience.
Lane is a goofball but maybe. Sark fits the bill nicely. Probably a few others but the pool of candidates Saban would endorse probably can be counted on one hand.

Maybe because I'm an Auburn guy and I'm not wired for glory like ya'll, but I just think that if I was a Bama alum, my thought would be "we're not replacing Saban, he gave us arguably the best run in the history of the game, the best we can do is try and find someone who will squeeze what's left of the structure he put in place and keep us in the running until we land on a guy who is a championship-level coach who'll want to do it his way."
In other words, it was an amazing run, but it's over. That doesn't mean Bama won't be in the playoff next season and won't win a title again in the next handful of years (necessarily). But unless it's Kirby, anyone else who dominates the game, even for a brief period at Bama, is likely to have his own way of doing things and isn't just going to operate within a system Saban created. That's just the reality of elite leaders.
I do think someone like Lanning could come in and keep you at a top 5ish level for a few years, maybe win a title, and if all that came together he might be inclined to keep things more akin to how they are now because his formative success came within that "machine". But my guess is that someone like that would have some initial success but wouldn't be able to replicate enough and he'd be gone within 5-6 years. And then you're looking for another up and comer or an established elite coach, and at that point you're fully into a new era of Bama football.

Not necessarily - Miles benefitted for what Saban did at LSU. No way Miles comes to LSU behind Dinardo and has any success. Bama will still have success.

You would be just as inaccurate as the OP then.
