It's gonna be a free-for-all in the portal. Lol.

Portal window is closed until spring.

 

[utsherman]

Portal window is closed until spring.

It is, yes.

 

[Orin Swift]

Wow, I really thought he’d try until 75 to break his tie with Bear Bryant. Writing has been in the wall, he’s been way less ornery the last year or so.

 

[Orin Swift]

I hated him as a Buckeye fan but as a fan college football wow, it was an honor to watch arguably the greatest college coach of all time. The dynasty he built had been unparalleled. Hope he enjoys his time at the lake with Miss Terry.

 

[Orin Swift]

Portal window is closed until spring.

With Saban retiring, players will have a 30 day window to enter the portal.

 

[Yappi]

Wow, didn't expect this quite yet. It will be interesting to see how Alabama handles this change.

One of the greatest Kent State alumni.

 

[Orin Swift]

Lanning is apparently the early betting favorite to take over. This is going to have a huge domino effect and a lot of players are going to still be able to transfer. The portal is about to get crazy.

Anyone that's in a good situation would be nuts to take this job.

Great pay but could be a career ender. Maybe Dabo.

I could see him being interested considering he played there and coached there...and Clemson is slowly sliding backwards.

As you said, it will pay great but there will be near unrealistic expectations and enormous pressure. It rarely works out being "the guy" that follows a legendary coach.

 

[utsherman]

Recruits who signed a national letter of intent can be released from the NLI if they haven't triggered attendance yet.

May we have a moment of silence for the Gumps? CRYING is such sweet sorrow! Finebaum is a MUST SEE tomorrow! ***ROTFLMAO*** Wait fifteen seasons, and lil Nicky Satan will be a DISTANT memory, as the luckiest of all time!!!

 

[Orin Swift]

I think Dabo’s stance on the transfer portal is a nonstarter for Alabama.

 

[Spartacus1987]

Tbh I always thought Pete Carroll was a better college coach than Saban.

Yea, well, he’s out at Seattle also. I’ll miss Saban. I won’t miss Carroll. And I don’t think Carroll ran a clean program in college.

Carroll didn’t run a clean college program and Saban did?? What drugs are you on?

I heard Bill Belichick was house hunting in Tuscaloosa

 

[Spille]

Called it. He just had a different look about him this year.

Stances can change. The 17 years before Saban, Bammy went 113- 80, 59%. Things have changed since the early 2000's but still a somewhat shocking stat.

My guess is Lane Kiffin

 

[Omar]

Pate said there won’t be much of a search, which I take to mean they already have something in place

 

[Stirred not Shaken]

2024 5* recruit WR Ryan Williams decommits from bammy.

Please name all the NCAA infractions against Saban. Those against Pete are well documented.

Just because somebody wasn’t charged with NCAA infractions means they’re running a clean program?

Who’s Bammy?

 

[AEW Champion]

Sad to see Saban go, but he’s probably pleased that one of his assistants (Kirby) became his equal, relatively speaking, and will carry on the Saban legacy for many years to come.

 

[tom 48]

NIL and transfer portal nonsense probably pushed him over the edge.
