I love Kirby but he's got to go coach somewhere else first.

Maybe Kirby can go get some experience at a smaller tier school like uga and then come back to bama in about 5 years!

Discuss.

Already planning for when Chizik sends ole' sabes running with his tail tucked? You guys will make a hire along the lines of a Schnellenburger or someone similar.

Would love to get Brady Hoke. I honestly can't think of another HC that I have tons of respect for outside of Kirby as a DC.
Oh, I'd be cool w/ Chris Peterson as well.

Chris Peterson would do well at Bama I think. Don't know how well he would recruit there though. Saban one helluva recruiter on top of being a great coach.

I think the Beamer/Foster duo would work well at any powerhouse recruiting team.

Exactly. He can obviously coach, but he's unproven in recruiting, but only because he has Boise to sell... maybe he'd do better at a program like Bama?
With Hoke, he's proven he can do it all. There are very few coaches that are just automatic home run hires. Hoke has shown he is, Saban, Meyer, and??
Whoever fills out that list would be OK by me and anyone lesser would be highly criticized by Bama fans until they win a NCG or SEC Title.

I don't even want to think about that! I just want to enjoy the Saban ride for a s long as we can. The late 90's and early 2000's are still not out of my mind!

I don't know why you would think Saban is going to leave in 5 years. The man signed an extension until 2019 this offseason, has said he is going to retire here, and it's not like he's in his 70's or anything.

Guy looks good for a 63 year old (no homo).

I just think that without coaching he's going to be like a Paterno or Bear Bryant type guy. He just puts so much into his coaching that I don't know what he would do. Maybe he signed that extension until 2019 because he plans on retiring to the lake when he is 70 but who knows. He has to color his hair though.

This thread is blasphemous... If Coach Saban were to die (which he won't) due to his tireless work ethic, he will coach the Tide in the afterlife. Shame on you BLF...

Shame on you, you mean!
We all know full well that if Bama knew how to have someone coach from the afterlife, the Bear would still be at the helm and Saban would have never came to Bama.

Bullshit. As things stand now, Kirby can never go home.
Also, he really has to go show he can be a HC at all, on ANY tier, before he tries to take over somewhere like Bama. He would be in over his head there and UGA.
Ark would have been a good place for him to jump to.

Sorry but I completely disagree with you. He has been Saban's right hand man long enough and knows exactly how to run a program from the HC position. I don't think he needs to prove himself at a small school at all.
