No this isn't one of those AI bot things, it appears to be true this time. Saw it on Yahoo and now ESPN is reporting it too.

End of an amazing college coaching career. Filling this job will be a challenge. Will Dabo be the leading candidate?
It is hard to tell who Alabama will choose but I would bet on one of the successful SEC coaches.
I forgot about him but wonder if he would leave Oregon or not.
His 7 Natty's ain't shabby. Truly a remarkable career.
The chain reaction is going to be incredible and then the portal opens up again For those teams.
How crazy would it be if Smart took the ATL job? Both Georgia and Alabama looking for coaches. That would hurt the SEC pretty bad. Stay tuned
That was my thought... As unlikely as it seems, with the type of momentum we have at the moment it would be almost predictable that that might happen... 🙉😖😎
Not in a million years. Alabama fans expectations are far too high for that to fly
Lanning has a great gig at Oregon. My Bama friends expect nothing less than an undefeated natty EVERY year. First season with 2 losses and Bama fans will be calling for his firing.
No, Alabama would melt down. A Yankee coaching Bama with no ties to the south? Never happen. Although I’m sure they’d appreciate the story of him MF’ing and going after Meyer only to be restrained by Fickell in a team meeting. He’s a NFL guy through and through.
With conference realignment and how the NCAA just F'd the ACC, I would think Dabo would be looking to head home.
So what do you really think Yabo Dabo will .... Do.....?
If Nick doesn't want to completely retire he can come here and work as a consultant with Coach Cig. I wonder if Alabama would consider Kalen Deboer?
If Deboer's smart he'll stay where he is or go someplace where perfect records aren't expected but appreciated, not like at Bama ... Bama is almost a setup to fail situation for the next HC.. anything less than perfection won't be accepted.
No. You’re thinking of Lou Saban and he played at IU but he’s not Nick’s dad.
don't be the coach who followed the legend. be the coach who followed the coach who followed the legend.
whoever it is better have a thick skin
I wonder how that would work...
Kiffen just built himself a National Championship contender (on paper) via the Portal...
Would those Portal transfers be allowed to double dip and transfer again due to a coaching change or would they be screwed and stuck there while watching his original team move elsewhere via the Portal?
It would be the most IU thing ever, wouldn't it? I mean, other than our former players and coaches being in the national championship game.
For some reason, I don't see that as a good match. I think Kalen is more of a stategist, not a recruiter. And Alabama is all about recruiting - all the football majors are monster recruiters, with Clemson being an exception. And we see how well they've done since their top assistants left.
No doubt he'd win at 'Bama. So would Tom Allen.
Whoever they get, their expectations will be out of control. It would be like following Bob Knight.....
I saw James Franklin on a short list of potential candidates. I can't believe they would seriously consider him. Bama fans would love finishing 4th in the SEC every year.
Lot of turnover lately at Orgon and although you have Nike money I think Bama money is greater.
No way! i did not know that Lou Saban graduated from IU. I cached against him on his 70th birthday. NFL Films and CNN were there because it was his 70th birthday and he had coached in college and the NFL. He was coaching at South Fork High School, the same school where Casey Teegarden played.
