  It’s just not about being a good coach, it’s having to deal with all the crazy boosters at Bama. Not sure that everyone wants that. I don’t see a good fit. Kiffin would be a good replacement for Saban.

  I think DeBoer could deal with them.

  I would be shocked if DeBoer leaves.
  
  He seems like a legacy creator, not a legacy follower.

  He wants to win. Money & opportunity weigh in heavily also.

  At Bama he could successfully recruit basically any player in America he wants

  That's less true today
  
  And he could no longer stack them like Nick did
  
  Saban quit for a reason. And that reason is NIL and the Portal

  He wants to win his way.
  
  He doesn't want to win at the place that won 6 fucking times in the past 15 years.
  
  Just IMO.

  It'll be Kiffin or Norvell anyway, and we can all have a good laugh/cry.
