Early names to watch:

Saban, Smart, and Kiffin to Coach O: "Take a paycut and come win a title."


Sounds like what Bron, Wade, and Bosh say to old vets.

Saban won't hire Rocker because he doesn't like to recruit. That's why he went to the NFL. It'll be Orgeron.

Hard to take a pay cut when you aren't currently employed.

I think you can take Rocker off that list. No self-respecting Auburn man would take that job. He had a good DL at Tenn.. I expect him to stay in the NFL.

Free Agents aren't employed either, but they could get more money somewhere else.

Looks like you need to put Coach O on the Lane Train. Congrats on the hire, he saved SC's season. Kinda sorry he didnt stay, but his pride was hurt after he wasn't hired as HC.

I'm sure he'd of stock around for a actual good coach. I'd be hurt if I was replaced for mediocrity like sark.
For all you die hard sark and USC fans he will be a bad hire for one reason - mora is taking ucla to a level right now were USC can't compete with them

I Know bama fans don't care about NCAA rules because of the history of the school. Well get ready because with Kiffin penalties are in your future and if you add O it will just speed up the process.

people really seem to forget the necessary steps Saban has taken since coming to Alabama because of the state it was in when he got here a d think they are just gonna throw that out the damn window. Saban and Bama staff will keep Kiffin hemmed up and away from media

Well, I would normally say there's no way the guy turns down DC asst HC to take a DL position anywhere, but then I remember, we're not dealing with normal here.

I've been told he wants a head coaching job. Why? IDK. But, if true, I wouldn't expect him to make a decision until the rest of these obvious dominoes fall, which probably won't happen until after the coaches meetings.

I am sure he didn't wanna stay on the staff at USCw after he wanted the HC job and he didn't get it, he wasn't gonna stay on staff

He could bide time as a DL coach on Bama's staff a couple more years before he got a HC job

He isn't that far from going winless in the SEC as a HC

So Coach O goes from wanting the head job at USC to settling for the DL position at Bama? His agent sucks.

Ogeron really wants a head coaching job, not wanting a position job per his family member I spoke to last week.

I guess it depends on how well Bama sweetens the pot..
