Who would be the top 5 on Alabama and Clemson's hire list if they needed a new coach?

[Crimpy]

Jimbo would get consideration from Bama. Maybe Clemson too.

 

[Crimpy]

Mario would def be on Bama's list but maybe 2nd or 3rd.

No.

 

[skeeter]

Belichick
Carroll
John H
Pederson
Mcvey

And money wouldn't be an issue...Balee me (Trump voice). Balee Me

 

[Alien]

What about Jeremy Pruitt if he succeeds at tenn. that seems likely.

 

[Consigliere]

ADAP

 

[Empirical Cane]

So long as Dabo stays on pace at Clemson, Bama will steal him when Saban hangs it up.

 

[BS85]

They'd clearly fight over Butch

 

[Ethnicsands]

Curious who Bama or Clemson would target if Saban or Dabo left? Granted Bama would target Dabo, but realistically who would the top teams target? I would also assume Cristobol would be on Bama's top 5.

Mario aint on alabama’s top 5 list.

I doubt dabo would want to follow saban at alabama. He has a great gig at clemson.

Point taken. He stays, he goes. My guess either way his base salary gets to the $6MM+/yr range quickly when that day comes.

Simple

Bama:
1) Dabo
2) Kirby
3) Dan Mullen
4) Matt Campbell
5) Dino Babers

Clemson:

1) Dan Mullen
2) Matt Campbell
3) Dino Babers
4) Neal Brown
5) Brett Venables

Mullen, campbell, or babers would not be on bama list. It would be dabo, kirby, pruitt and that's it.

Mullen, campbell, or babers would not be on bama list. It would be dabo, kirby, pruitt and that's it.

No way. By that time, all of them would probably be at a better job(other than Mullen) and be big winners too. Pruitt is way too green.

They would hire pruitt way before a campbell, mullen, or babers.

I like the thinking here. We need who ever they would go after....isnt that the point of this thread? So we target Vene and open the door to his sons!!!! They seem to be a deciding factor for him so bring'm baby.

Mario isnt worth the 10 mil buy out ( I am personally not a fan of his. Taggart 2.0.... just NO)
Diaz buy out would be pricey too
Kiffin is a proven LOSER and has trolled us way to much to forgive

1. Vene
2. Leach
3. Campbell
4. If we are buying someone out... I vote Kliff K. and a real DC.

campbell
fleck

Can Bama pay that much more? Seems like he could name his salary at Clemson and he is pretty comfortable there.

Yes, Bama can pay more. But it’s not about that for him, I would guess.

How much more? I haven’t looked up either salary but I would think Clemson could be in the same ballpark.

[26GOAT]

Mark my words Dabo is the next Alabama coach when Saban retires

No way. Whoever takes it after saban is a fool.
