Singlemost concern

[welchog]

Not what our w/l record will be in 16.
Not what bowl game or opponent we will face.
Not how big or when the stadium will be built.
Not how many 4 or 5 star recruits we get.

No, what i think will impact us the most is who replaces Saban when he decides to hang it up.  Might even cause us a coaching search ourselves.  I think it will happen within the next 3 to 5 years.

[ricepig]

That's your single most concern? It's about 41st on my list......

41st is still about three times to high for me.

[smb]

Your concerns are unwarranted because CBB has said many times he wants to give this program something Alabama already has.

[jusgtohogs]

agree with INHT and RP, you control what you can control and work like crazy on everything else...

[ChitownHawg]

I'm with you guys that this isn't a concern of mine. And if he meant CBB may be his replacement, then I don't see that.  CBB is to smart for that. The coach who follows Saban will always under perform. Hard not to with the high bar he set.

Exactly.........there isn old adage that says "don't be the one to follow a legend, be the one that follows the one that follows the legend."

Dabo is the next guy for Bama.

This literally made me laugh out loud.

[Razorbackers]

We may have just hit peak offseason.

[ChitownHawg]

Dabo is the next guy for Bama.

That would be a good choice. Maybe Urban? 

[Seebs]

Not what our w/l record will be in 16. - Our record will not be 14-0
Not what bowl game or opponent we will face. - We will not be in the Sugar Bowl playing Minnesota
Not how big or when the stadium will be built. It will not be smaller and not before 2018
Not how many 4 or 5 star recruits we get. We will not get 20 five stars and not get 20 four stars

No, what i think will impact us the most is who replaces Saban when he decides to hang it up.  Might even cause us a coaching search ourselves.  I think it will happen within the next 3 to 5 years. - We will miss Dan Enos when he takes his high-powered offense to Bama - I agree.

[factchecker]

Urban's cardiologist suggested he stay away from coaching in the SEC.  Once or twice a year won't hurt but playing a full schedule could cause a relapse.

[welchog]

Point is that the road to the sec championship  always runs through bama.  Who succeeds Saban will determine how difficult that road is to travel.

I am looking further down the road than next year.

[East TN HAWG]

Whoever follows Saban will last three or four years.  Bama fans are spoiled and after one loss they will want the coaches head on a platter.

[Inhogswetrust]

We may have just hit peak offseason.

And the heat is getting to some!

FYI, since 1992 the SEC championship game has involved:

in the West....
Alabama - 10 times
Auburn - 5 times
LSU - 4 times
Arkansas - 3 times
Mississippi State - 1 time

in the East....
Florida - 10 times
Tennessee - 5 times
Georgia - 5 times
Missouri - 2 times
South Carolina - 1 time

Sorry, but you'll have to flesh out your cryptic worries a bit more for your post to make any sense.

Exactly.  And if the OP IS thinking BB he's way off base since Saban being gone opens the door, sooner, to do what he said he wanted to do here.

My biggest concern is August 1, when a certain "writer" on hogville is supposed to be back.

Might I add that there is a number of jobs in the SEC that were open for a few years there before he took the Arkansas job.  He could have thrown his name into the hat for both Auburn and Tennessee.  Both destinations he would have had an easier time reaching an SEC championship.  Both schools have recruited better than us for awhile.  He did say he wanted to coach for a program that has the support of the entire state.  So that might have eliminated Auburn as a possibility.  Still, Tennessee would have provided that "easier" route to the SEC crown.

[TXArcher]

Will we get a cold front on the dove opener.

[12247]

Timing as it relates to college football coaches defines everything.  Who knows who will be the hot coach in 3 to 5 years?  The chances of anyone going to BAMA and having the success Saban has had is not likely.  He is a great coach who has also had all but 2 of the SEC west teams to get worse during his tenure.  Miss St. has gotten a bit better but they are still not much and OM has gotten better but that looks like it is over there too.  We have gotten worse, A&M worse, Aubbie about the same, LSU worse.  Part of all our getting worse is losing to BAMA every year.  I don't see BAMA wanting BB.  They will be looking for and may get a 10 to 12 win annually type coach.

Enos can't take a job in the SEC , per a non compete clause in his contract ...Georgia already came calling

This. Dabo was born for that job and is good enough for that job. If either of them refuses to see it, they're morons.

HOW IS THIS EVEN A QUESTION? PEPSI RUINED THE RAZORBACKS!

*WARNING: SHAMELESS PLUG INCOMING*

I have YEARS of evidence to support this statement. Pepsi conspired with the Aggies to get a foothold in the SEC.

If that is the case then Bama will need a SEC battle tested coach. Someone like Houston Dale Nutt. I chuckle just thinking if that were to happen.

I thought it read single malt concern.........

Of course Bama is not remotely that stupid. But ah what a dream scenario (and a nightmare for Bama) it would be, at least during the six game stretch until they fired him.

[Pigsknuckles]

HDN has proven he can do well with someone elses recruits...for one season.

[Pigsknuckles]

Shoot....my cardiologist probably thinks that just being a fan of an SEC school is dangerous. I have a stress test tomorrow, I'll ask.

[KlubhouseKonnected]

This explains why hogville gives a counter of how much time we have wasted on here.

[Seebs]

Enos can't take a job in the SEC , per a non compete clause in his contract ...Georgia already came calling

Ahhh - you are mistaken. He takes the Bama Head Coaching position,. Any of our coaches can leave for a  promotion to coordinator, etc. They cannot leave for the same position like Oline coach or Safety coach.

The fact you took the Enos statement seriously is concerning to me. You've been placed on a watch list

Correct, Enos can take a HC job anywhere he pleases. Not that this is a realistic concern in this context.
