See now this is what I would not do...

Get in a back and forth over Lanning.

He would be a yes or no with me.

Agreed. Following Saban is something you'll only survive if you want to do it. If you have to be talked into it you're probably going to fail. It's a monumental task and only someone with massive balls and endless confidence will be able to pull it off successfully.

That's not how it works. There are contractual details that ned to be worked out. If you're hiring premium talent, they have options and a lot of them are usually tied to big dollars.

You also don't want to go into a relationship with your most high-value employee on a my way or the highway attitude, you need a collaborative working arrangement. This will be your first engagement to feel out what that looks like and if you come in and demand a yes or no, that's a quick way to poison the well.
