How this is going to play out...

[coachbronk]

Saban already has an offer from Texas and they are just waiting for his answer, meanwhile, Patterson is interviewing Briles tomorrow and is #2 if Saban says No. Texas will have their coach hired by Friday night.

All other interviews are smokescreens and political type interviews.

I hope that Art Mackovic is really not our number 2 guy.

That might not be correct. I believe a date of Jan. 15 was put out. But, I do believe it will be done before then. I am ALL IN ON SABAN!!!

I still don't think Briles is #2 on the list. He is not a "home run" hire.

Briles = John Mackovic

He isn't concerned about defense.

He comes from a coaching tree (Mike Leach) with one conference title....ONE!

Please tell me what the biggest win that Briles has under his belt? He just lost Fiesta Bowl.

 

[Sunkist]

Briles is a great offensive coach but we will need a better defensive mind to compliment him. Pat Narduzzi would be great!

...oh no, not again. not another what if... oh please lord no.... please, please...

I would imagine any Briles offer would be conditional on getting the best DC possible.

 

[badboy783]

Briles may not even be top 5.

 

[Girthy Overlord]

Something I think that people don't take into account with the whole "let's get Briles and just get a good DC" is that that style of offense has a huge effect on the defense. It leaves the defense on the field longer and tires them out as opposed to a more traditional offense. In addition, I feel that investing so much in a DC leads less stability within the program if he happens to leave. Just my thoughts.

Exactly.

I'm still not sold on Saban having an offer. I think Patterson waits until after nc game imho.

Aidensdad posted on IT last night saban definitely has an offer. He doesn't post often anymore since leaving orangebloods but is legit
