Take his inside info with a grain of salt…
Dan Lanning- Bama’s first pick, but unlikely to happen due to the high financial cost to get him. Would take a booster stepping up in a mighty big way but Bama doesn’t have that many boosters with that kind of money.
Sarkisian- would be a top pick but he said unrealistic to expect mutual interest
Kiffin- said Kiffin won’t even be vetted or considered. He apparently burned some bridges from his time in Tuscaloosa. Not a candidate per him
Dameaco Ryans- said no way a successful NFL coach would leave for a CFB job. Also said Ryans was pre-Saban and there were some bad feelings among those players in regard to how Joe Kines was treated. Said there’s a bit of bad blood.
Mike Norvell- seems like this is the most likely top tier candidate
Aside from Norvell, he mentioned DeBoer as another likely consideration.

I really hope it’s Norvell

McElroy is not in the know. He has no idea

Rumors floating that Sark and Lanning both said no.

Can you imagine if that happened? 2 months ago FSU was riding high and looking forward to the Playoff…. Only to have their QB go down with an injury, get screwed out of the playoff, get demolished by Georgia, and then have their coach stolen by Alabama.
All while being stuck in a conference you are in a lawsuit with. Goodness.

Rayns won't come because he has a better job. Some hurt feeling in the 90s won't be the reason, though.

GMac also named Marcus Freeman. Im pretty certain that GMac is speculating just like the rest of us

Sarkisian
At a program with a great history and more resources than Bama, and he already has it moving in a positive direction, will be playing in the SEC, and he doesn't have to follow Saban. Makes no sense.
Quite frankly Lanning is in a really good spot with Oregon, and can make his own history with Phil Knights deep pockets, and doesn't have to follow Saban. Not SEC but will play in the other premiere conference.
Thing is Lanning does have the personality to take on following Saban and may have a personal desire to coach there if they can get the money right?

That could melt away in a New York minute if their choices diminish.

I think it’s going to be DeBoer. Apparently Byrne is a big fan of his.

Norvell would crawl on glass to be bamas coach

Greg might as well name every coach in the business. He doesn't know shite.

Most won’t agree but Norvell would be a great hire
Very impressed how he bolt the fsu program and he’s a great offensive mind

Me too. That Bama can’t afford Lanning seems suspect though.

Norvell or Lanning. Norvell would be the better choice IMO as he plays defense and has recruiting ties in FL

Bama will likely not like this hire but it's not this hire that is the future of Tide football
It will be the next hire
At that point you will get someone like Lanning
No one wants the pressure of replacing Saban especially when you are already established at a pretty good place like Oregon or Texas who are gonna play the NIL game better than anyone
