Who gets to be the man to replace The Man? Who even wants that assignment?
The greatest of all time has retired. Nick Saban announced Wednesday that he’s handing off the reins of Alabama football after six national championships with the Crimson Tide and seven overall.
Alabama fans mourned the news. Elsewhere in the SEC, there were probably grins. For nearly two decades, Saban and Alabama crushed everyone in their path. Who can continue such dominance?
On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams reflect on Saban’s legacy, remember their favorite moments from the coach and handicap potential candidates for the job.
The hosts rate each suggested candidate as either love it, like it, or nah, don’t like it.
To be sure, some of the nine names considered here are more realistic than others, and the first name on the list – Oregon’s Dan Lanning – already announced Thursday that he’s staying with the Ducks.
The search continues. Let’s get to the names!
