Not really.

All indications are Alabama was blindsided by the retirement and was not expecting have to conduct an expedited coaching search. Then, you throw in the fact they are probably a victim of their own success here. An established HC who is winning at a relatively high level is probably reluctant to leave his current situation to step into the giant shadow left behind by Saban. It's almost a no-win situation because the expectation level there will be astronomical.

The Alabama job was never going to be easy to fill.
