3:50 p.m., Thursday, Gene -- Fox Sports' Joel Klatt is reporting that Kalen DeBoer is far in away the leading candidate for the Alabama opening. Reading the tea leaves, it sounds like DeBoer will be or has been offered the job, but Alabama is at the same time negotiating with Norvell and/or his agent in case DeBoer falls through.

Deboer would be a good choice. But why would he go? He was on the cusp of a NC this year. So he doesn't HAVE to go to Alabama to compete for one. His school is also set to enter the Big 10. So they are in one of the two power conferences. Washington may not pay him as much as Alabama would, but it's not like he's going to be making $15 an hour at UW to coach at a school that loves him and isn't expecting him to play for a NC every year. Whoever Alabama hires will step into maybe the biggest shadow in the history of CFB.
The same applies to Norvell except for one key difference. FSU is not in one of the two power conferences. Thus, they are going to get left further and further behind in further media-rights deals. That's why FSU is trying to get out of the ACC ASAP! Norvell will publicly tell anyone who will listen he wants to be at FSU. But that will just be a negotiating posture to get as much money out of Alabama as possible. If Alabama offers...he's gone!
