That's because Alabama fans are insecure. If they didn't care about Saban to .... threads, they would t be so quick to reply in them.

Add to the fact that they know he is capable of just up and leaving, they can't be 100% sure if he'll stay at Alabama.

I think he stays at Bama, fwiw

New Year's day since Christmas day has passed.

Will get interesting if Lombardi is hired as GM

How many times does it have to be stated that makes it less of a chance?

If He does decide to leave We'll simply say, "thank you Coach for all the hard work and a great run. We wish you and Miss Terry the very best". It won't be the epic meltdown that you rivals are hoping for.

In due time.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- The Browns will pursue one of this year's hottest head coaching candidates in Penn State's Bill O'Brien, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

But Browns CEO Joe Banner will most likely have to compete with his former Eagles team for O'Brien's services, Mortensen said. Eagles coach Andy Reid was fired Sunday night, according to CSN Philadelphia's Reuben Frank.

The Browns are also expected to heavily pursue Oregon head coach Chip Kelly, who's this year's "it" candidate, a source told The Plain Dealer. The Eagles and Panthers are also expected to be after Kelly, who is 45-7 in his four years at Oregon. The Browns will have to wait to interview Kelly until after he coaches Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 3.

O'Brien, the Patriots' former offensive coordinator, was named Big Ten Coach of the Year after guiding the Nittany Lions to an 8-4 record in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal. O'Brien was also named ESPN's national coach of the year.

O'Brien for Patriots coach Bill Belichick from 2007 until he left to take the Penn State job this year. When he took the job he had been assured the Sandusky matter would be handled from a criminal standpoint and not by the NCAA. Instead, Penn State was slapped with a four-year bowl ban and the loss of 40 scholarships.

In New England, O'Brien coached wide receivers and quarterbacks, and served as coordinator in 2011, the year the Patriots lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl. O'Brien also had a chance to interview with the Jaguars last year, but declined.

Mortensen estimated it would take $9.2 million to buy out O'Brien's contract.
