Nick Saban retiring

[lilchi721]

Can’t players transfer outside of that if there is a head coach change

Yep!

 

[Boglodyte]

Yes, this opens the transfer portal for all players at Bama for a 1 time transfer (regardless if they just transferred there) to another school without penalty. I think they get 30 days, im not sure of the timeline.

Kirby Smart should be in Tuscaloosa any minute now talking to the players

Holy shit, this is huge for college football. Saban is arguably the greatest ever in CFB. I would guess the Tide will be interested in Dan Lanning, Kalen DeBoer and maybe Sark, as well as Lane Kiffin.

I was hearing Kirby may be talking to the Falcons

He should avoid that like the plague

 

[batchaps4me]

Damn, and right before the expanded playoffs next year where he wouldn't be given any more favoritism.

Expanded playoffs all but guaranteed Saban to be in the playoffs.

Don't want him

Thought sure Nick would hang on to try and beat Bears record but guess he had enough.

 

[bamagrad75]

Don't want Dabo Swinney either

I don’t think Kirby wants the job, just wants to poach some of the players

 

[OUGuy1999]

just wants to poach some of the players

as does the rest of CFB

 

[fknhippie]

Thanks for all the great games, coach.

 

[navamind]

2 big questions...
1) Of course who replaces
2) any stud OTs we could poach from his recruiting class?

You got McLaughlin. Word on the street is he's an amazing snapper....

True, but likely as a lower seed making it harder to win the Natty. If there were expanded playoffs this year then they likely wouldn’t haven been the #4 seed.

 

[fknhippie]

So, who was better, Saban or Bryant?

 

[lilchi721]

I'm wondering if Saban is being pursued by the NFL again

He's fine.....more important a really good blocker. also might go to guard where they don't snap.

I lived through both heydays. Saban and it's not really close.

Hard to compare

Bryant did it without NIL money and transfers

Saban did it without the ‘60’s feelings on race in the south
