He covets the Alabama job. We are watching a Saban 2.0 trajectory in real life. Crazy


I don’t think anybody covets the Alabama job. Saban took it as an escape from a failed nfl stint. Bam is at best lateral to LSU

By all accounts Saban made him pretty miserable while there, even if it may have been for his own good, and left on bad terms.

It was also a part of his life he has spoken about where he was not in a good place personally.


While he certainly seems grateful now for Saban and what that opportunity gave him, I don’t think he looks back fondly at his Alabama days at all.



From the interviews I've seen this is 100% my read as well. I think the only thing you have to worry about is the NFL.

Alabama job is not attractive, they don't have recruiting advantage over LSU because Saban is gone.

Doubtful. If UT, Bama, OSU or the NFL come calling he'd probably leave.

I'd like to think at this point that he sees himself as a college guy, and that the NFL itch has been scratched...
