LOL....Lanning was literally on the plane headed there the same day Saban announced he's retiring. I'm pretty sure they knew who they wanted and probably already had reached out to him to gauge interest. Quote Link to comment

SEC will have more competition, and without Saban the Tide just don't strike the fear in opponents. LSU, Ole Miss, Texas and Oklahoma will look to fill the void left by Saban. If I'm a bama fan Im not feeling great right now. Still an attractive job but even top candidates have to be a little wary of following in the footsteps of the greatest the sport has ever scene... Literally nearly impossible expectations are waiting for them. The slide at bama already started. NIL+Transfer portal + the impossible task saban had of having a revolving door of assistant coaches being poached and going elsewhere. Its a testament to his legacy as to how he was able to sustain that success at that level for so long. All that said, the bama of the past couple of years did not look to be the same bama both on paper and the eye test that we saw steam roll CFB in the 2010's. Quote Link to comment

It's extremely difficult to follow a legend in a situation like this. Whomever it is, isn't going to live up to the expectations. It's best to be the 2nd or 3rd guy hired after the legend retires.
