    With this thinking (which I agree with and makes me reevaluate my earlier "picks"), I wonder if Deion comes back into the picture? I think hard to pull in a 4-win guy, but who knows? If Deion saw this as a 3-year platform to get to the NFL... maybe? Still think it's a long-shot, but maybe he's not as off-the-table as I initially thought.

    Maybe this boils down to who is the most overconfident candidate "Bama can find? If so, Deion certainly has that!

    How did Ron Zook coach 60 games for Florida in just 3 seasons? That's impressive

    I think that's pretty standard at most major programs. Jerry Sandusky got office and facilities privileges at Penn State, after he retired. Nick probably won't even be in Tuscaloosa next year, to use His. Didn't he just buy a place, in Florida, last year?

    Just sayin'...I think, as far as Bama and their "Rabid Football Atmosphere"....a guy can only take so-much. Lol...he's "southbound and down"....IMO.

    In fact....after giving it some thought....Saban is more likely to give Billy Napier and Steve Spurrier an assist at Florida. Lol...they both, detest UGA and, feel a little "sorry" for Billy Boy.

    It's as obvious as the moon in the sky. Why would Spurrier get any credit for pointing out the obvious?

    Go, Dawgs!

    No new coach likes having an old coach looking over his shoulder - especially if it's the GOAT. All KD would have to do is disagree with Saban one time and the paint would start peeling off the walls. I don't think Saban will stick his nose into the new regime too much. He knows it's time to move on. Life is short and he is on the back end of it now. Millions in wealth do nobody any good in the grave. Live while you can, Nick. Well done.

    "Steve Spurrier has a pretty good idea why Alabama is having a tough time replacing Nick Saban." You are kidding, Right? 3 days to find a replacement and that is considered tough?

    At the rate Alabama is losing coaches and players 3 years might be optimistic.
