GunnerBill Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Can someone explain the Sark thing to me? How many times does he have to suck in other jobs before people accept he is a bad coach? Gase and Billy O would both be upgrades. And that is saying something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorquemada Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I could see Gase, honestly. If all he has to do is get a bunch of 5 star recruits to rack up yardage, and not the other 99 things the HC has to worry about, he'll be ok. It's not like Saban would give him a very long leash in any case. I have a much harder time imagining BOB in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17islongenough Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 What has Adam Gase done in the NFL. He has tried to ruin Darnold and Tannelhill. He is still riding the coattails of Manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also suspect that they're going to go after Dabo Swinney hard once Saban announces his retirement, which could very well be next week after they win the Natty.

I still wouldn't be surprised to see Dabo make the jump to the NFL, especially if Houston comes calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definitely possible. JAG in Houston or King of Tuscaloosa, the choice is your Mr Swinney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he actually has to do the recruiting.... not sure I see that as something he would be good at but Bama basically recruits itself I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shows up at some 5 star's house, and walks out with another weapon. I doubt they bring Gase in with the notion he'll be a primary recruiter. Frankly, it would be the best move for Gase because whomever is in that job is going to look like a genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplebulldog Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I live down here. O'Brien was in all day yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) O'Brien went from the savior of Penn State to the all everything of the NFL Texans to possibly the Alabama OC? That's quite the career path. That said, college and the NFL are so different. Yes, it's football, but being on a college campus all the time and working with student athletes who look up to you and buy in to whatever you say because you're Nick Freaking Saban (or one of his staff) is so different from managing multi-millionaire NFL players. For one, you have the chance to mentor young people and help them build the foundation for a successful life. Sure, that's also true to some extent in the NFL, but I can see how that speaks to many coaches. I can imagine the college coaching world, especially if you're a top guy at a top program, is a whole lot of fun. College campuses are fun places to be. The games have a festival atmosphere. You make almost as much as NFL coaches. Players are fun to be around. College towns are awesome places to live. You're the toast of the town. Unless you absolutely must be seen as the very top guy at the highest level of the sport winning on Super Bowl Sunday it's a really cool gig.
