That program is going to regress HARD.

If Lanning is the target, can’t imagine they don’t get him. Whoever it is.

GA & AL have the top 2 recruiting classes. The new guy is coming into a great situation.

Being the guy after Saban is going to be a pressure cooker like no other.

It was the same after Bear retired. Every other coach had to live up to his expectations.

Hopefully Bama starts a long, long decline, but knowing our luck they're going to keep contending for titles even with a new guy at the helm.

I think Saban saw the winds changing. The other conferences doing what the SEC did for years. Paying players. I think the playing field has been even again. If USC don't rise again i'll be shocked. Paid to play in LA as a college kid vs middle of nowhere college town in the south.

hopefully they hire Dabo and not Lanning

also fun fact:


Dabo seems to be struggling with the NIL/transfer portal changes
