Any chance Saban would go after Shoop?

Saban has an issue because the defensive coordinator he needs to replace is also his best recruiter. I think you have to give the two young defensive coordinators Saban brought in credit for amazing recruiting skills. They landed what is most likely Bamas best recruiting class ever this year. They are not as good on the field, obviously. Interesting situation for Nick. Best recruiters you have had, and maybe the worst defensive coaches you have had at the same time.

great points.
amdmit just seems nuts even talking about replacing a defensive coordinator over that one game...but there is talk, so I asked the question.

The signs that Lupoi was in over his head were there throughout the season. They were just covered up due to Bama outscoring everybody. If you really think about it Bama’s D did not play well in their last three games. They dude can recruit, there is no doubt so maybe Saban understood the only way to keep him was to bump him up to DC.
