re: Feldman: Lanning buyout is considerably more than the $20 million being reported

Feldman touched on that as well, said the basic vibe he got from the Alabama staff when that happened was "it's totally fine if Lane isn't here". I imagine he rocked the boat too much with Saban and it just worth having him around.

Bama confirmed poor if they can’t cough up $20-30M for Dan Lanning’s buyout. Aggie is dishing out close to $80M to kick Jumbo to the curb

Lane had been hired by FAU and Saban felt like Lane was not locked in totally with Bama and the playoffs with so many irons in the fire with his new job so he told him to go ahead bc we had Sark.
ETA- there were rumors Kiffin had missed/ showed up late to staff meetings during the playoff preparations and possibly was drunk …. Who knows

This was in regards to Dabo leaving Clemson, he has a lower buyout clause if he leaves for Alabama rather than any other school.

Maybe. But the choices are not great. I just can’t see anyone at Bama settling for someone like Norvell.

If you are Lanning why in the holy hell would you leave?
Oregon has made the national title game with two different head coaches in the last 15 years. It’s not difficult at all to win there, they will lmatch whatever bama can pay, you don’t have to start over, and you don’t have to be in the shadow of the ultimate legend
It just doesn’t make any sense to me but these coaches often make decisions I never would

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was true

Probably why you sit behind a computer shite posting all day while they are high achievers

What makes a high achiever choose Bama over Oregon? Wouldn’t a true high achiever want to be the program maker at Oregon

Tim Watts made a post last night saying Kiffin, Sark, and Lanning are all unlikely.
No one is unlikely for Bama. Kiffin wants the job.

Following Saban would be a harder challenge imo.

That’s the argument now? Choosing Bama over Oregon doesn’t make one a “high achiever”
It’s such ignorant gump logic it’s wonderful This post was edited on 1/11/24 at 7:46 am

Oregon is also a much better job now in the NIL era than it was even 5-6 years ago. Division Street is by far the most professionally run collective and they have unlimited money. They are absolutely cleaning up California recruiting.

All of this, plus you get to raise your family in Eugene, Oregon rather than Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Oregon can beat any Bama offer on the table. they have Nike behind them
They had coaches poached by Florida State and Miami in the last few years. All that Nike money going into the program is wasted on uniforms and has never been spent on anything of substance

Sounds like some vague BS, and if bama knows who they want they will pay whatever it takes.
Remember bama is mostly responsible for the huge buyouts today from the carousel of coaches in the SEC west trying to compete with them. They haven’t had to pay one of these buyouts by firing their coach since Bush was president.

Letting both of those guys walk was a smart move

Alabama hasn’t paid a football buyout in 17 years. They can afford it

It seems poaching Oregon coaches has been an awful idea
Chip-failed
Fritz-failed
Mario-on the path to failing
Oregon seems to be the constant. Crazy coaches keep leaving just to be out in worse situations and fired
