Debbie Rademacher at Alabama?

Ok, let me be clear. This is just wishful thinking. This isn't a RUMOR (shh--don't spread it). I don't know anything. I'm just making it up.

Wouldn't it be great if Debbie Rademacher, the former Michigan women's soccer coach, was hired to replace Don Staley at Alabama?

After all, she coached Michigan from 1994-2007 and had a slightly better women's soccer record than Staley (160-108-37 to Staley's 135-128-12.) She led Michigan to the NCAA Tournament nine times, including a trip to the quarterfinals in 2002. She clearly loves the sport and has a great rapport with her teams. I think she'd be a good fit to shake up some of that Alabama good-ole'-boy culture.

She said she wanted to spend more time with her children when she resigned earlier this month, but she came off of a difficult season. After 13 years as coach for the same university, I smell burn-out.

I wonder if Rademacher is talking to Alabama? If I were recruiting coaches for Alabama, Debbie Rademacher would be at the top of my list.
