    If Lanning does end up staying at Oregon the search gets a lot more interesting*

    No one wants a guy who goes undefeated in a power 5 conference and can't even make the playoff. No juice.

    Word out of Tuscaloosa is Lanning was a media creation and was never under consideration.

    Gene Stallings is the last coach to take them to a championship. Time to dust off his whistle.

    Prime or Lane would be like a night on the town with a few hundred thousand to burn and lots of coke and hookers. Won’t end well but it’ll be fun while it lasts.

    I don’t want it to be a disaster hire that they quickly move on from in a couple of years. I want it to be the kind of mediocre hire who wins nothing of substance but isn’t bad enough to fire, leads to family fist fights over holidays, and causes adults to ruin Bama fandom for their kids with Saban comparisons

    I will say this, nobody on the Alabama side right now knows fucking shit and if they say they do they’re lying.

    surprising. I thought the totally normal Alabama fan base would acknowledge they were rejected.
