Alabama AD Greg Byrne talked about Saban's new role back in January...

quote:
“He is going to be an advisor for us," Byrne said, via Tuscaloosa News "He’s been awesome. He and I talked during the coaching search. I mean, somebody asked me, 'Was he involved?' I was like, ‘Man, I’m not very smart.' Many people know that, but I’m smart enough to know when you have a chance to have Nick Saban involved with talking about coaching and football and decision-making and leadership, shame on me if I don’t take advantage of that."

I like that the new coach will be unable to get out of Saban’s shadow literally. This will not go well for them and I will enjoy it thoroughly.

That extra 4 cents is funny as hell to me for some reason.

Bama already in panic mode

Easye921•23 months

Panic Mode? The first six months of DeBoer couldnt have gone any better. Dude is straight up killing it on the recruiting trail. Just picked up a 5 star today and have a couple more that could commit any day. If that's panic Mode, I'll take that all day.

Oooh a 5 star. They’re mainly loading up on 3 stars ??

Saban signed 11 3 stars in a class once at Bama. Screw the stars. Can they play. Thats the question. People have this opinion that Saban ONLY signed 5 stars. Saban might have had 3 or 4 on average of in any of his classes. What is considered his best class in 2008 had 3 5 stars. Just look at other classes as well. 2010 class had ONE. 2015 had 3.

You never even think of proofreading do you you? It's embarrassing that a website gives you posting capabilities.

Was the $.04 a typo?

I feel bad for the black guy who had that sweet $200k gig following Saban with the Gatorade cup. Is he still employed?

ShuckJordan•23 months

That would be Cedric Burns, he has been employed with Alabama for 36 years. He’s the only guy connected to Alabama football who can’t be fired.
