Who knew news in Tuscaloosa, Ala would cause two guys in Seattle to react with an emergency podcast? But that's exactly what happened today, as news of Nick Saban's retirement created earthquakes that reverberated from coast to coast. Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters of Dawgman.com just had to get on the horn and talk about how Saban's retirement could affect Washington and the situation they currently find themselves with their head coach, Kalen DeBoer. The Huskies and DeBoer have been locked in extension talks that have continued to persist while the Huskies went through their championship run. Now that the 2023 season is over, new Washington Athletic Director Troy Dannen is working beyond overtime to keep DeBoer and his staff satisfied and on Montlake. It's job number one, two, and three at the moment. But Saban's retirement may have thrown a huge monkey wrench into those negotiations. Would DeBoer leave Seattle for Tuscaloosa after just two season? Kim and Chris hash it out, as well as give their thoughts on the other names that have been thrown out there as initial candidates: Dan Lanning, Dabo Swinney, Lane Kiffin, James Franklin, Mike Norvell, and Marcus Freeman. What about Steve Sarkisian and his ties to Saban and Alabama? Near the end of the discussion, Jalen McMillan broke the news that he is turning pro. When you add the fact that it was also announced today Pete Carroll will no longer be the Seattle Head Coach, it has been one of the most eventful day in football in a very long time.
