Saban has retired.

[SayWhat]

Man, like him or not, guy is a legend. You don't see many like him. Respect to him as he heads off to do whatever he wants. You don't have to like the guy to respect what someone does, nevermind how long he stayed at or near the top.

Who replaces him in the long run? Not a clue, but good luck to that dude. Usually these follow a legend coach hires don't work out and it's often not a big name. It'll be weird seeing him not on the sidelines like it is seeing Duke without Coach K, UNC without Dean Smith, FSU without Bowden, etc.

Here's my only prediction about the hire that Baga is going to make:

-it'll be underwhelming

Blitz Bama Blitz

I give a **** bout nothing but the Tide baybee!!

 

[Angry Ibis]

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it

Wait until Uncle @Rellyrell tells him that story about how Miami could have had Barry Alvarez, Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin and hired Larry Coker, Randy Shannon and Mario…

 

[calinative umstudent]

I can’t imagine that happens - 1 year at Oregon and then out.

...cause it didn't happen to them already with FSU

 

[CaneFan79]

Mario left Miami for 'Bama once...2nd time is a charm, they say

 

[Page305]

Word is, it's a done deal with Lanning.

 

[JamesQuall]

I'm about to live in a world where Oregon and Alabama rosters open and I can't enjoy it. I hate it here.

I love the fact that you were a “non-mope” for all of a week and a half. Maybe two

 

[GojiraCane]

Any chance that they snag another Dolphins HC?

 

[Umcanesfan74]

All of you saying please take Mario…he had consecutive top 10 recruiting classes here with a crap record, but you wish him to Baga?? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised in some of your logic anymore.

 

[RickRollU]

Word is, it's a done deal with Lanning.

Phil Knight might burn every major college campuses if that happens haha

 

[CanesFanfromNJ]

Let's all agree on one thing

IF Alabama continue its dominance with Dan Lanning, It's our fault

We hired Mario Cristobal away from Oregon, which lead to Oregon hiring Dan Lanning and putting him on the map for this opportunity.

 

[Bretdog]

Thought Jupiter Island or somewhere up there?

It is in Jupiter Island

Right. Everybody is looking at this like Miami’s addition by Alabama’s subtraction. But it’s much more beneficial if it’s Alabama’s addition here and Miamis subtraction. Too bad they aren’t as dumb as they look in Bammer.

 

[CoachDannyMiaz]

Wow wonder what all those guys thinking

Saban half way through his interview with Jon Richt:

[CoachDannyMiaz]

Whoever is replacing him…talk about big shoes to fill.

Just fill the shoes with lifts like he did.

 

[USNAVYCANE]

You can count Lane and Kirby out 100 %

Mario to Baga
