Bama fans are about to realize with recruiting that kids were committing to Saban, not Alabama.

Also, when coaches get hired, I like to think about whether or not that coach was on that schools radar 6 months before. Were Bama fans clamoring to have this guy be Saban’s replacement a year ago?

If UW doesn’t pull a couple of games out of the fire this year, is he even in consideration for this job?

It’s a very ‘prisoner of the moment’ hire.

Trying to save the class before it falls apart, Saban dicked them, he got scared after Harbaw went in dry.

Imagine if you had told Bama fans in December that within a month Saban would be gone and they’d have this guy as their head coach.

Following him winning 9 games at Fresno and then increasing UWs win total by 7 in his first year, he was 100% a guy to keep an eye on. Add a 14-1 season and a National Championship and you bet your sweet arse I’d want him

People would have considered Sark a nuclear home run hire and he has exactly 1 great season as a head coach. His record prior to this season was 59-47. Then this year he pulled just as many games out of the fire with a more talented roster

Other than Kiffin, DeBoer was the best realistic candidate. Lanning’s recruiting and record looks good, but Willy Taggart and Mark Helfrich won at Oregon. We got the guy that has dicked all over Lanning with less resources and less talent
