He just jumped to 2-1 gambling odds. Where there’s smoke there’s fire.
Deboer to Bama?
- Thread starter ce36ei
- Start date
No, he meant Deboer. Dabo is out of the top tier coach conversation until he adapts.
Yeah I know what he meant I just can't see Deboer at Alabama
I could see it. He took Washington to their ceiling. Might as well make generational money.
Yeah. I think it would be foolish, but one thing about coaches at this level is their egos make it hard to pass up these opportunities. Someone ought to remind him that pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.
Although, maybe taking the job would be perfect for the crowd griping about coach cig being too old. Give him 5 years at Bama before he is fired and looking for the next gig. According to them Cig will be on his way to shuffle board and apple sauce by then.
I wouldn’t want the job. Those people are crazy. But I think Kiffen might be one guy who could handle the pressure.
Lots of talk about Deboar being the front runner now that lanning is staying at Oregon.
I'm guessing it will be leverage for a pay raise at Washington
It may be about coaching at the pinnacle of college football.
Would be good for us if he leaves the B1G .
Come on 'bama, make that hire!

But it's a pressure cooker. Especially following Saban. I don't envy the man that takes that job.
Nothing $11 million/yr or so can’t fix.
It depends on the individual, but it wouldn't be worth it to me. I'd be happy with 5 million and a lot less stress. I think he'd be better off taking the Seahawk job.

Jimmy Sexton seems to be the keyword with DeBeor ... just signed as his agent. Sexton is agent to 11 of 14 SEC head coaches in football, plus James Franklin at PSU. Klatt said on TheHerd, 'Bama will get this done in 72 hours. Plus the AD that hired DeBeor at UW left last fall for USC.
I agree with ce36ei that he may have taken Washington as far as he can. His OC almost went to Bama (IIRC Sayan offered him $2M) last year so maybe he cannot afford to keep him at UW. The prospect of losing both his OC & Penix may tell him he should move now.
If he gets a monster contract, he should give Penix a cut as he was the key to his Washington success.
*Sorry for the bold. Can't get it to go to normal font.
The issue with Dabo is he hasn't transitioned well to the NIL era. At this point, I think DeBoer and Norvell are likely the favorites.
Exactly. He's a good coach but he lucked into Penix. He's his meal ticket.
How far below the “pinnacle” is the NC runner up?
I think KD is too laid back for Bama. They think he walks on water in Washington now.
I think he sticks.
And the $20M if/when you're fired.
I think if Norvell is offered, he will take it. Going undefeated and not making the playoffs might have him moving on.
A real coach wouldn’t run from pressure . A real coach would relish it. I think he is a real coach and if offered I believe he takes it.
A coach who knows he's good, isn't worried about expectations. As a matter of fact, coaches often have to work try to establish expectations at a program. Going somewhere that already has those in place makes things easier to a coach who knows he's good.
Yea but replacing a coach who won 7 titles?
FSU on probation will have Norvell running for that job now.
Lord I hate finding myself remotely defending FSU. Yet, the comically inconsistent application of rules is amusing, and I have to wonder how much of it is vindictive with Florida State looking to really break up the status quo.
According to the NCAA, Michigan won fair and square, but Florida State is going on probation for the shit show they allowed with no directions on NIL.

Never follow a legend.
Dabo refuses to use the portal and hates NIL. Now that IPTAY is obsolete, Clemson has became an also ran.
What? I would say Penix lucked into him.
I agree. But one thing Deboer has had a quarterback with numbers all the way back to Sioux Falls

For sure. Its that mindset that has us on the couch. The good ones see that as an opportunity, not a deterrent.
Mike Price last Northwest coach to go there, did not end well let alone get started lol
Deboer at Bama would be scary. Offense would be unstoppable. Just gotta have the right defensive coordinator in place. It could easily resemble the Lane Kiffin years at Bama with a competent DC.
The word is DeBoer flew into Alabama last evening so we will see soon who takes the job.
Pretty sure he could get an above average qb in Tuscaloosa
Any yankee would be crazy to take the Bama job unless he has an iron will. If Deboer takes it he better plan on never losing a game.

The coach sets the tone. How have Riley's defenses done at Oklahoma and USC? Not convinced yet that Deboer is a Saban or Smart when it comes to putting a complete team together. It took Day years to get a D together.

Maybe, but I have not seen that reported. The word was also that Sark had been in town....that was denied in the local newspaper.
