I expect them to make a push for Miles. Won't get him, but they will try.

There is not an opening. :double bird:

Top Candidates:
Charlie Strong - Nope
Kirby Smart - 25-30%
Al Golden - nope
James Franklin - 5%
Dabo Swinney - possible
Mike Gundy - nope
Lane Kiffin - seriously?
Jack Del Rio - not likely, but greater than 1%
Jon Gruden (haha)

Poster suggestions:
Jimbo Fisher - First call they'll make. 30%+
Gus Malzhan - not sure if serious
Bobby Petrino - no chance
Mark Dantonio - no chance
Jim Mora Jr - less than 10%
Les Miles - no chance
Bill Belichick - no chance


I think if Saban goes the next Bama coach is likely:
Jimbo - 30%
Smart - 25%
Dabo - 20%
Wildcard - 15%
Franklin - 5%
NFL with Bama ties - 5%

Just my opinion, though.

Jim Mcelwain has done an excellent job at CSU. I would rather have him than Smart. Wouldn't be shocked to see us hire him.


Oh and Saban isn't going anywhere.

Kirby Smart

They won't have a whole lot of time to go through hiring process.
