Rumor San Mario Turned Down Bama

[Empirical Cane]

DeBoer will be Bama's Harsin +/-.

DeBoer can do more with less. He’d win much more than Mario IMO. He’s now going to a place with bags. Dude is a slam dunk A+ hire.

In before Wander Franco brings up the time he lost to icebox and nem in the youth league ship, as a reason why hes not a great coach

Emory?

Curious to see what happens to Milroe.

Explain that #36 recruiting class with Washington being undefeated and moving to the B10?

I can explain it: he’s a really good coach

Possibly, but it's curious as to why he wasn’t #1 on their list. Clearly they went after several others and got turned down. It seems that the job would have been Norvell's if he wanted it. If they actually believed Norvell was a better fit than DeBoer, it makes me wonder why.

I thought DeBoer was a good coach but the curse of CIS crowning people will be too much for him to overcome

RIP

Nah, this is a solid hire. He's a dude.

Mario just needs his players and 4 more top 3 recruiting classes

Aaaaand I think it's time for me to check out until Spring now that ENSD is done.

This place has become insufferable. Let's hope it calms down a bit.

Unfortunately we opened up our wallets for Mario and now can’t pay anyone enough to take him. 12-13 will do that.

In all seriousness, how big was that no-kneel for the perception of our season and Mario as a co(r)ch overall? Not to oversimply or play what if, but we bend the knee there (or the refs get it right) - even if the entire rest of the season played out the same - that's 8 wins. 3 more than the year prior instead of just 2. And probably a lot less vitriol and negativity around the program than we have now. CFB is not for the faint-hearted.

And..... we might not have had to play the mighty Rutgers in the Bowl game..... LOL!!!

I'm sorry... I'll sign off now...

 

[Atom Atlas]

Are ya’ll really doing this? Like really? Seriously?

 

[Yoyo82]

I would trade Mario for DeBoer in a heartbeat, assuming he has the same resources and financial backing Mario got

I'd trade for him even with a decline of resources. He just took the 26th most talented rosters with 0 5*s to the national title game. We were at 12th before this season but even before Mario we hovered at 15ish.

Only 1 person to blame for the self induced cloud

12-13 will do that… enjoy the offseason…

I would rather have Mario than Deboer. Y'all might take a little while to learn, but you'll see the elephant in the room eventually. Alabama is no longer Alabama. Nick Saban made that place work. They won't crash and burn the way Miami did in the early 2000's but they're declining now for sure.

Deboer is completely unproven and he can't recruit. They'll slide

I disagree On the slam dunk hire part…He’s a good schematic coach but he is not a fit for bama. He has no idea the pressure he will be under and winning 12 games a year is expected. He coached, and won, a lot of close games at Washington. That’s not sustainable. I also don’t think he has the personality to deal with the boosters and such at bama….i Don’t think he will sustain the recruiting they've had either, and how does he Do without a penix? I dont think he will crash and burn like strong and Herman at Texas, but they found out real quick that it’s more than just an x and o job.

Who did they go after? I assume Lanning who also would be a great hire. Not sure on Norvell but he just got $10 M per year where he’s at. Anyone else?

We’ll see. He did well at Boise before a Washington and Penix. Penix wasn’t who he is today when DeBoer got him from Indiana just like Norvell made Travis better.
