re: How soon before Bama makes a run at Brian Kelly?

uhhh ..... after Saban retires, so when's that? CBK would be interviewing for the HC job at Bama. Saban will be back at Bama next year.

If you're thinking Bama tries to hire CBK sooner to be a coordinator while Saban's still HC ........... CBK would need to fail at LSU first, which is not happening this year, or next year.

I'd think CBK has enough good will after beating Bama to withstand several bad seasons at LSU before, he'd need to take a step down to Coordinator at Bama.

And I think there's a whole lotta Saban acolytes in line ahead of Kelly for HC job at Bama.

CBK at Bama seems highly unlikely to me.
