Sarkisian and FSU's Norvell have now said no as well.
If DeBoer says no they are going to be in big time scramble mode!

Lanning out of the running for AL job
- Thread starter PensacolaBlue
- Start date
Bama put a 72 hour goal on naming the successor. I fully believe they will have a new coach named over the weekend.
Not sure about that, Kirby Smart is doing his level best to create a dynasty at UGA and he's only 48 years old. He's got a Looooooong time left in Athens.
My point was if Auburn had named him head coach while he was there, do you think he would have ever left that job for UGA?
Did you forget the offensive coordinator job at Bama got Sark his job at Bama? If you use your logic for peers then you move the goalposts to fit your narrative.
I don't believe it was a blindside. He announced at 5 the afternoon on the fist day of class. All the EE are stuck there unless they burn their transfer. Maybe all of them didn't commit because of Saban, but it is a dirty deal to the ones who did.
Probably not, but AU did come after him one time pre Herschel, can't remember who they ended up hiring, could have been Dye.
After missing their top 3, maybe 4 I think many of their fans feel 20m is a bargain.
Lanning was considered the top choice by the media. I doubt that was the case. And, I doubt Bama was going to pay $20 million for a buyout. Lanning knew that and he got out in front of it, IMO.
Did they miss on the top 3 or 4 or did sexton just get them a raise?
Actually we don't really know who was offered the job. The way it generally works nowadays is guys aren't offered until it's known they'll accept. That's where backstories, agents, etc come in.
That's why I said Kirby doesn't need Bama to get to the top. He's already there.
But, I seriously doubt you'll ever see the kind of success Saban achieved at Bama duplicated anywhere else, including Georgia. The portal and NIL have changed things that much.
I am highly skeptical of DeBoer's ability to make his system work at Bama. He has no recruiting connections in the South and several Tide players have already entered the portal. I could be totally wrong though. He is apparently a offensive guru. Not sure if that will be enough to win at the SEC's flagship program.
Just on the UF boards, Kirby has nearly a 100m buyout, I don't know for sure but I would think someone would have to buy his contract out if he went to NFL.
Schools aways do the same BS games with offered or not offered so the school can ultimately say we got our first offered. It's a wording game when the AD ask the agent would your client be interested for x about of years at x amount. Technically not offered, but knew what the answer would be if offed
I agree, the timing was to trap the EE at Bama because it's a lot harder to get out of an LOI if you attend class. Saban's announcement became public about 5 on first day of class for this semester. Anyone think that was coincidence with how detailed Saban is? I believe it was done to trap those kids who signed there because of Saban or force them to use a transfer.
And people are saying it wasn't his wife's health either. He just was done with recruiting and NIL made him have to recruit his team every year all over again.
