Yeah I think what sucks the most for me is we've had a total of 4 HCs bail or get fired (I'm counting Pruitt) and every single one of them left us with a pile of **** to deal with in one way or another.

Kiffin dropped us within days of NSD, and then his staff was contacting our recruits.
Dooley, well we all know what Dooley did (or rather didn't do) while here.
Butch, that guy...the definition of petty and self-absorbed, what's weird is somehow the sexual assault case he was part of seems to be a distant memory (Tennessee settles sexual assault suit for $2.48 million) and then the audacity to milk the maximum amount of his buyout after that...yeah not a fan.

And now Pruitt seems to be positioning himself somewhere between Dooley/Butch, where despite him being at fault for ultimately what will be the reason for his departure will fight tooth and nail to get the max buyout he can. Claims he'll return to DC at Bama, but don't be surprised if Uncle Saban doesn't so willfully extend a hand.

I never get the “maximum amount of his buyout” point. He was never going to lose money by accepting a HC position...quite the opposite if you factor in the perks, allowances and sponsorships afforded. He lost potential money by hanging around Bama for $30 k per year.

I mean who knows? You see, to me, it feels like Gus is ready for a job but maxed out. We know what he is. Offense is stale, would provide stability but not much excitement. To me that's a safe hire that restores respectability but no long term hope. With Napier, this is a guy winning at a lower level who has been offered by other top jobs (AU) and has been doing it for a while. He's an offensive guy also. He would bring more hope and excitement with possibly a higher ceiling but also a lower floor. Depends on what you want.

What were his reasons for turning down Auburn?

I’m tired of coaches who become turtles that hide in their shells when they play Alabama. Confident coaches cause their players to be confident

O’Brien would be better than Marrone

O’Brien could walk into a QB recruits house and say he was partially responsible for the development of Deshaun Watson (which he was) plus he spent multiple years coaching Tom Brady. What’s Marrone gonna sell? Blake Bortles?

He could also say he traded Deandre Hopkins for a GI Joe Lunchbox and pissed off JJ Watts...

He’s nowhere near reached his potential. Give him an elite DC and QB, and that’s a guy that can get you a national title if the pieces fall into place. No Texas didn’t win ALL the time but they were in every game even when they weren’t supposed to be, and Herman’s teams have always shown to be dangerous in the postseason.

You really can't go wrong here. We can hire a lot of good coaches. Herman, Freeze, Fickell, Napier all would be good options.
