The Athletic was speculating on Saban’s successor. Mentioned Dabo first then Mario:
“Here’s another name to keep in mind: Mario Cristobal. Miami’s new coach left a strong impression during his four years in Tuscaloosa as offensive line coach (2013-16). He’s won big at Oregon, and if he can turn around the Hurricanes and the timing is just right, don’t be surprised if the Tide put the full-court press on him. Of course, Miami is home for Cristobal, too, which could complicate matters, especially if he returns the Canes to national prominence.”
Great to see the respect he gets. Josh Pate and Finebaum have both alluded to this also.
