Bama Fans - Any word on Burton Burns?

I sure hope so. He has done a fantastic job as both a position coach and a recruiter. I am pretty sure he is one of the lowest paid members of the coaching staff. I hope Bama tops whatever FSU may be offering.

Is he just using this as leverage to get a bigger contract from Bama?

I think the interest is about more than money. He wants a reduced road workload (constantly out recruiting and wants more time at home with family). Any offer will be matched or topped financially. My concern is whether or not Saban is willing to give one of his better recruiters less road time.

Hope he stays. not a certainty yet, though.

According to BOL, he has turned down Florida State's offer and will remain at Alabama. Next year is expected to be his last.
