Didn't make it to the final game so he's taking his ball and going home.

I doubt he would have stayed if he had won it all either.

Sudden Sam · Post by **Sudden Sam** » Wed Jan 10, 2024 11:50 pm

Transfer portal and all probably just wore him down. I don’t blame him for hanging it up.

Next coach is likely already settled on. I’m thinking Lanning or Dabo. If Dabo embraces the portal, coming home and starting anew might work.

Bama should give a hard look at:

Bobby Williams
Lame Kiffin
Coach O
Urban
Mike Shula

(while tOSU and others raid their cabinet)

All the tributes from bammers include his LSU achievements as bama stats.

Serious case of inferiority complex.

They better get ready for 5 new coaches in 10 years.

Keep dreaming.

Seasons with 10 or more wins:

Auburn (all time) - 14

Saban at Alabama - 16

Looks like it won’t be Lanning.

Go ahead and hire Dabo.

I think Lanning's going to be a great one for us, but the key words there are "going to be". He hasn't done anything yet. 2 seasons as a head coach and not even a conference championship. This year was really good...not great, but I wouldn't want him to follow Saban if I were an Alabama fan.

I'm hoping they go with Deboer, because there's nothing better than Husky tears, but honestly Deboer has a similar issue to Lanning. Not a ton of great success at this level. He was in the NAIA 4 years ago and while this year was great, I would want to see him do it with another QB first. But he's a little more seasoned than Lanning, so at least there's that.

Forgot to include DuBose in that list.

Or DeBoer. Close enough

I think Mike Debose won 10 games for Bama. as did Denny Francione.

no Mike Price ref so far is what is baffling me.

Destiny, I guess.

Caleb Downs and Kadyn Proctor gone.

I was looking forward to watching Downs become one of the best DBs ever produced at Bama. The kid played like a veteran his freshman season. This one hurts.

Proctor to Iowa.

tOSU would gladly take Downs so you don’t have to watch him play at Georgia.

tOSU fans think that Kirby is too smart not to let Downs leave the backyard. He loved Ohio State during his recruitment apparently but not sure we can snatch him away.

Boom. Snatched him away after all. Watch out for the Buckeyes next fall. Thanks Sam

Looking to snatch Sayin next…

Sudden Sam · Post by **Sudden Sam** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 11:01 am

You got a good one in Downs.

At least he isn’t a Bulldog!

L45B · Post by **L45B** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 3:35 pm

That seems to be the consensus amongst Tide fans.

THE fan base is now convinced Sayin will be following Downs to Columbus and that leaves a possibility to convince Proctor also.

I think tOSU will be preseason #1 next fall (not that it matters). But the o-line is still the weakest link. Proctor would help matters there.

Sudden Sam · Post by **Sudden Sam** » Sat Jan 20, 2024 10:35 pm

Proctor is either homesick or simply has no desire to play for a national championship.

About his decision:

Even after I was doing bad in the SEC and struggling, they [Iowa] hit me up and said ‘We’re proud of you, you’re gonna get through this.’ And that’s what ultimately helped me with my decision.”

Nope, no contact before going into the portal there.

It is time to dispense with pretenses and call the NCAA an NFL farm system.

Toothless entity. Totally useless.

We need someone to regulate NIL. There has to be a way to monitor and control it and the portal or CFB will devolve to an unrecognizable disaster.

Bama picking up big commits and the re-commitment of Ryan Williams. That is huge. Bodes well for Coach DeBoer and the Tide.
