Nick Saban

[pissclams]

the expectations are so extraordinary high that the chance that anyone can come in and meet them is essentially zero

their best option is to hire from within, take a step back for a year or two, and then shop the market.  good news is that saban has proven that you can recruit to a shithole like tuscaloosa.

Location is never an issue if you got a right coach and the right system for a player to go to.

i know that.  any k-state fan should know that.

Go with AI Aflac duck, rake in some $$$ for sponsorship for a year, then go get your guy since anyone has to be better than Aflac

Saban was a far better coach than Snyder. Going to be impossible to replace. you're right they should either hire from within or do someone young with a lot of charisma and high potential like Marcus Freeman

What about Martin Freeman? He has zest.

Coach O for Bama

[MakeItRain]

Alabama had 25,000 students when he got there, and 80% of them were instate students.  Now Alabama has 40,000 students and 60% of them are out-of-state students. The biggest student recruiting weekends are football weekends. 

Just in core tuition dollars (before fees and other charges) that's $22,000 more per student per academic year for every out-of-state.



 

No doubt that it was a huge economic benefit for the University.  Probably a horrible decision for many of those kids to pay that much for an Alabama degree when almost all of them could have gotten just as good of an education for a fraction of the cost if they had stayed in-state.

Well I bet most of those out of state kids are from Florida and Mississippi, so maybe not.

Clearly you haven't heard about the great things DeSantis is doing with the school in Florida...

I posted about it on KSO earlier this week! crap is wild.

ESPN says it’s down to Washington’s guy, FSU’s guy, and their current OC.

I was just getting ready to say that I think Norvell will take the job considering NCAA just announced probation for Florida State yesterday. However, FSU just announced an 8 year extension for Norvell. That means he, Sark, and Lanning all got new contracts in the 48 hours that Saban has been gone. This leaves DeBoer and Tommy Rees.

I find it really hard to believe that they'll hire Tommy Rees less than a year from him essentially being run out of Notre Dame as the offensive coordinator. Certainly they can find someone with a better resume to take the job.

They should get Eric Bienemy

[Pete]

Kalen DeBoer, the Washington coach, is most known prior to Washington as being a 3 time NAIA champ for a school from South Dakota (his home state).  In his 1 full season at Fresno he went 9-3.


If I’m Washington, and I am looking for a guy who is similar to that, I look at Kleinman and Lightpole.

[Pete]

They should get Eric Bienemy

Agree!

[pissclams]

belichek is the man for the job

[wetwillie]

FSU re upped with Norvell.  Saban getting everybody a raise.

This is the real cause of inflation

Amazing...

I worked in the athletic department at an Ivy League school in the early 2000s and I can say with 100 percent certainty that there were less than 5 pitchers in the entire league who could hit 95 mph with a single pitch during the course of the entire season (let alone consistently) and there were probably only a handful who could hit 90 mph on the regular. That dork asserting that he was consistently getting base hits off pitchers throwing 95 mph is beyond laughable.

It's DeBoer!

I kind of forgot they are big 10 but the poor kind of big 10 with partial shares

They will pay top money

I think they promote their OC and give him something on par with what Klieman makes here

[BIG APPLE CAT]

they should offer LL, he will be able to focus on coaching instead of getting distracted by the majestic beauty of The (poor man's) Setting

[pissclams]

whoa, we talking washington in here??

I don't know why a program in their position would do anything but this.

when reviewing Ryan Grub's bio there are two things that give me pause:
1. He has never been a head coach
2.

He and his wife, Stephanie, have a daughter, Falynn.
