Might mean any players on the fence will declare for draft if they haven't already.

Reportedly Dan Lanning is their top choice.

Lanning should take that job because Alabama can really compete for National Championships while Oregon can compete for Conference Championships.

His assistants do everything anyways, but good luck to him and his business endeavors.

Before Saban was a title there in 2009 the Crimson Tide had won one national championship in the previous 30 years. They had a bunch of underachieving coaches before him who didn’t win much. He’s the GOAT.

With NIL and the 12 team playoff, it's not going to be the same college football that Saban dominated going forward. He could see the writing on the wall and picked a good time to get out with his legacy intact.

Also the transfer portal. He used to tell five stars that they sucked and wouldn’t play for three years. Now you do that and they flip to Auburn or UNC.

Greg Byrne is very good at distraction, so anything's possible. When he hired Rich Rod at UofA, everyone thought it was gonna be Mike Belotti until Byrne tweeted a pic of him and RichRod at his home.

Lanning could be a smokescreen, but most of the rumors point to him.

Which shows how positive the portal has been. You can't have these asshats who are allowed to move around at will to other schools treat kids like dirt and have the kids with no recourse.
