Lanning
Hopefully Lanning will be secretly meeting with Alabama officials the week of the Washington game.

DeBoer has made that even less likely now that the world can see that Saban was Alabama and he was right that NIL was going to kill his ultimate advantage, hence the timing of retirement.
The state of Alabama has 1 billionaire. One. He's an Auburn alum. Not an ideal place for NIL. In fact, the whole SEC has about 1/10th of the billionaires in the B1G. The balance of power has shifted heavily towards the B1G.
DeBoer has a talented roster but it's a carbon copy of a dozen other programs. Unless the rules change, Bama isn't the job it once was.

Talent is not their problem but you're right the sec is not the advantage it once was that that cheating is legal. The top sec teams used to overpower the big and acc teams, it was automatic. In one season fsu made their defense look like an upper tier sec unit.

It just doesn't make any sense, Boner's a great coach. It seems perhaps the issue is defense and his inability to get someone on that side of the ball to get it right. That seems like an easy fix, Ohio St lost Knowles and then brought in a veteran NFL guy. Dudes should be banging down his door for the DC role. His QB sucks, that also seems like an easy fix, it's still Alabama. They couldn't outbid Oklahoma for Mateer?(I know he followed the OC from WSU).
