I don’t think Greg Byrne is operating on the same wavelength as the fans: must have southern ties, must be a proven head coach, must be a proven recruiter, etc.

This probably means it could be a name that’s currently not hot. Be prepared for that possibility.

I'm still thinking Saban will provide a lot of input and support in choosing his successor

Look at Nate Oats as an example. He really didn't have any of those things, other than a couple of big tournament wins at Buffalo. His resume did not scream guaranteed success. But was definitely good enough to be worth the risk.

Nate Oats had zero SEC recruiting experience and it hasn’t mattered at all.

Saban had zero SEC experience before he got to LSU and that didn’t matter at all.

If you can recruit and make people like you it’s fine.

If you’re an assclown who everyone despises and who doesn’t like to recruit in the first place like Harsin it’s a major problem.
