Dabo, he is a Bama boy. Would be interesting to see Bama run a Clemson type offense.

Don't take him, then Clemson might get someone that knows about football.

Franklin from Vandy would be a great hire.

You know, Ed Orgeron really got a raw deal at USC. He brings a lot of enthusiasm to the table, and he has SEC head coaching experience. Just sayin'...

If I were them, and not a Saints fan, I would look long and hard at

But, as a Saints fan, F bama if that happened, F them so hard, that would be worse than when Saban took the job.

I'm dying at the idea of a black head coach at Alabama.

This is kinda like when Pope John Paul II died. They just couldn't replace him with another superstar pope. They needed a transitional pope... a caretaker before the next big hire. Enter Benedict XVI, a longtime insider. Nothing revolutionary. He just minded the ship to set things up for the rock star.

So in other words, they bring in Gene Stallings, shoot him up with some B12 and let him stand on the sidelines and look confused. Or they could just move Smart up.
