      Our tradition (pre-saban) was to get someone affiliated with the program. I dont think we hire Saban straight from LSU. Also, not from Auburn, not Jimbo, and you have to have a record of winning....but in 3 or so years when coach retires, I think you can convince a Kiffin or Kirby (possibly) to take the reigns. Sark got a shot too but we may have lost him to that Texas money.

    I can relate. I’ve been fired, betrayed, lied to and tossed out to the curb at an age that people have no interest in hiring you for your skills, experience, accomplishments and accumulated knowledge. But I didn’t have a Nick Saban to pull me out of that predicament. It’s good that these guys were fortunate enough to get a second chance and are grateful for it.

    Legit really did Lane dirty. He wasn't respected by many at the time, other than his offense, but leaving the dude on the tarmac is the wrong move. Add in that he was helping rebuild with sanctions from the Reggie Bush fallout. 28-15 for where they were and the way the college athletics operated was solid IMO. He likely would have been successful there with time and backing.

    I truly believe that Sarkisian would have been the next Alabama HC after Saban retires if he would have stayed. Him and Lane Kiffin are some of the greatest offensive minds in college football. I believe Saban will retire before 2030 when his contract ends if he finds a replacement. He owns two Mercedes Benz Dealerships so he is not hurting for money. But him and his wife Ms Terry loves UA more than anything.
