BamaScoop...I have said this before, but Notre Dame would be crazy not to make an attempt at Coach Saban. I do not see him leaving Alabama, but he has proven himself to be the premier fixer of a broken program. I don't see this season as being the right time for Coach Saban to move. If Alabama defeats Texas, then he might have an interest in making a move after next season. I don't see him tossing away a chance at a NC by dealing with the Notre Dame issue this year.

Seems like Kelly would be announced today if that is who they really want.

I say meyer. With him gone is miles back to #3b or #3a coach in sec? I know some people would still have spurrier over him.

If Saban ever coaches anywhere else, I will be shocked. The dude can't be happy with his reputation as a hopper


I didn't know he had that reputation?

Meyer is their number 1 choice in my opinion I think they throw the book at him to ensure they keep the contract with NBC

What do y'all think?

I think you are enjoying this whole thing. I don't blame you. I would be liking this if I were a Bama fan too. It is gonna be a good ride and Bama should have a nice run for a good while. I don't see anything standing in Nick's way for a least a few years at least as far as domination of the SEC West anyway. In the East I still think Meyer can coach and he does recruit well, but that helps Bama most years because that is another loss for LSU every year.

I think Notre Dame was waiting for the SEC Championship to play itself out. Now that Meyer is not going to the BCS Championship, I think ND is talking to Meyer and his agent. They are probably interviewing Kelly right now to throw off the media, for negotiations so Meyer doesn't think he is the only option, and just in case they can't come to an agreement. You know that when Meyer made his comments about ND being his perfect job a few years ago, ND started thinking about what it would take to get him if Weis continued to decline. I have never heard anything about Saban saying he would only leave for ND. That is not saying it isn't true. I really think Notre Dame is going to throw the book at Meyer. I wouldn't be surprised if they offered Meyer $8 million a year. They have to get it right this team after the last 3 failures. They went after Meyer before and now that he has 2 championships, I can't imagine they wouldn't push even harder. My prediction: January 2, 2010, Urban Meyer is announced as the new Notre Dame head coach.
