Can't recall the last time a reigning champion fell down so quickly the following season. Auburn post Cam?

That is the classic example. You could throw another LSU team in there, the Matt Flynn led 2007 champs. At least they were ranked most of the year though.
Agreed, although I suspect they will make an aggressive push for Dabo if Saban leaves.
I don't really see him leaving Clemson, do you? Seems like he is building something there where he can do a Bowden if he wants a legacy, or can go the NFL route if he gets bored. I can't see Alabama being able to pay him that much more.
@Carolina Red, you think he would leave?
Ordinarily I would agree - but Dabo was born and raised near Tuscaloosa and is a Tide football alum, so the pressure to do whatever it takes to get him will be immense.
I'm 70/30 on the issue. 70 he stays, 30 he leaves.
I can see Dabo leaving. Especially if they win it all and with no Lawrence or Etienne next year. Biggest reason why he might stay besides loyalty and wanting to continue on the success he's built, is cos his sons play for Clemson. Although looks like one of them is a senior.
Hopefully Bama does the right thing and gives the job to Sark or Kiffin
Being born there is the only reason anyone should ever willingly move to Tuscaloosa.

As a USC fan I would love to see those asshats take down the shitstain that is Alabama football.

Dabo to Bama would be lame. I’m trying to think if he did win there, if there’d be any coach that had 2 programs where he was a legend (like getting a statue level)...
Saban himself won a natty at LSU, but he didn’t stick around long. Did Bear win at A&M? Spurrier took uSC (and I think Duke?) to new heights but not to the level he did at Florida.

Can only see Dabo going to Alabama if it's his dream job and returning "home." Because it doesn't build his legacy by taking over a program already winning titles every 2-3 years. Maybe say 5, 10 years down the line if Alabama have fallen down maybe then he'd go rebuild it up. Like Roy Williams to UNC after a few years post Dean Smith.
As for NFL, how does his style fit the pro life? I don't recall him being anything of an offensive or defensive innovator. Maybe more like a Jimmy Johnson type - manage the whole thing while letting the assistants do their job?

you forgot Urban. Yuck.
I knew there had to be an obvious one I was missing.
The same odds of Texas being under NCAA investigation if 5-6 years.
It’s a meme at this point.
Wallace Wade has a statue at Alabama and the stadium named after him at Duke.
That’s going to be awkward for the committee if they don’t allow tOSU to get a sixth game.
Also, it really shouldn’t count, but it’ll be the first time Meechigan has gone winless at home.

ESPN was mentioning Ohio State may scramble to find a school with an open weekend and quickly arrange a game for Saturday. Said they must do so by tomorrow (Wednesday) for the conference to approve, though I could see the conference adding additional time. Also saw online fans clamoring for A&M to agree to play, can't see either taking that chance but the network conflicts could also win out there.
@Raoul Miami can't stop UNC's offense.
Its getting ugly. Strangely UNC weren't this good earlier this year. They are up for tonight though.
Nick Saban helped UNC scheme for Miami because he knows Alabama cannot be successful when Miami is competitive.
Alabama is 37-4 since Raoul said "Bama's run is nearing an end".
Don't think I've ever seen a team rush for over 500 and have two guys over 200 in the same game.
Crazy. Only 1 ranked v. ranked in the 330 window and Michael Carter-Williams runs for 500 yards.
UNC finished on 778 yards with only 20 pass attempts.
The canes football twitter account is fun tonight
Major ass whoopin'. This is what you get when you hire a guy who has never head coached before. Even more ominously, Bama is the first game on next year's schedule.
I know I joked about Helton being the CFB Ole, but this is getting ridiculous. Another last gasp away win while coming from behind. If SC beats Washington in the title game they have to be in the CFP’s, right?
Not a chance.
Yah, gotta agree with potatoes here. PAC-12 is especially shitty this year. And we’ve been shitty for a while. No chance an undefeated SC team makes it to the BCS playoffs.
The BigXII champ has a better chance of backdooring their way into the playoffs than USC, even with 2 losses...And those chances are slim to none.
They're not fancy, but they are my alma mater, so GO BLAZERS!
Every win they get is a giant flaming full member (aka an @calodo2003 ) up Bear Bryant's ass.

Let me know if you need optics.
You sort of have I guess if you combine THAT video with the pic of the proud boy centerfold you gifted us.
Always on the look out for quality pics.
