sure, he'd get fired for not winning enough titles, but............

he'd recruit WAY better than at Warshington
his success at Warshington prolly not sustainable w/o Penix and going into the B1G.
Meaning, his stock will never be higher


and then the whole $$$$ thing - he can retire

I'm not certain this is true at all.  SABAN can recruit Alabama way better than DeBoer can at Washington, but DeBoer at Alabama is something completely different.  By almost all accounts, DeBoer really doesn't like recruiting at all, which is one of the reasons so many people are predicting he'd head to the NFL as his next stop.

I already thought Bama should give Norvell a look.  Norvell might want to think about getting out of Tallahassee since the NCAA is trying to drop the hammer on them.  I could see his style working well at Bama.

yeah good points.

BAMA wasn't recruiting like they do now before Saban. Saban is just an elite recruiter who can recruit top classes almost anywhere- and then winning a bunch of NC's just builds on that and enhances it. DeBoer ain't gonna 'croot like Saban- even at Bama.

No top coach should want to follow Saban at Bama. You flat out just will not live up to him. Pressure will be intense and unless you can win 6 NC's in 15 years and play for a few more- you'll be a failure. Impossible standard to live up to.

And with the NIL & Portal, ANY college coach with pro options would be stupid af to stay in college. Which is why I won't blame Jeem at all when he jumps back to the NFL. Being a college coach SUCKS now. And Saban knows this- which is why he's walking away imo.

With the NIL & Portal, yes it sucks. Financially, not really. Example.. Ryan Day made more than 25 NFL coaches this year. Lane Kiffin made more than 22 of them. Luke Fickell more than 21 of them. If you're at a top 25ish helmet school, you make more than more than half the NFL head coaches. Think about it, Lincoln Riley and Kyle Shanahan make the same. 

It will be interesting to see how the NIL and portal shape the college game in the coming couple years. It can lead to chaos, negative impact on the entire game and top coaches all trying to sneak their way in the NFL or maybe the chaos leads to a forced intelligent resolution that brings a little stability back and desire to be in the college game.

Mark Schipper - 5th Down CFB

One of my favorite Nick Saban stories that I think captures the man in a single anecdote. I got it from
@CoachBobStoops..........

That was pretty good
