Get your popcorn ... here it comes

I know a guy who contributes to the LSU budget (I've seen with my own 2 eyes at least 1 officially licensed LSU shirt in his house). He also attended LSU (for at least 1 semester - I personally witnessed this since we took a class together... I think it was Biology 1012 or maybe Anthropology ??). He is also no further than 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon (cannot officially confirm). He was at someone's house who officially has cooked for some LSU fans and that guy told him about someone who had been drinking crown and coke told him what this other guy heard. (Names purposely removed to preserve anonymity).

I am paraphrasing since I can't remember each word.
Saban is done with Bama. He's become the greatest ever and has nothing left to prove to those morons. He wants a new challenge but also doesn't want to start another rebuild as HC. He's been talking to his mentor and it came up that Woodward had been told that William Belicick was a good coach in the NFL but unproven in the college ranks. At first, Woodward told him he wasn't interested because he wanted a proven NCAA champion. Saban told William (name will shorten to Bill for remainder of this post) that he knew Scott and would talk to him. Scott told Saban the same thing, but Saban countered with naming himself DC. Scott of course retorted with, "well Nicky, that's wonderful but who's going to coach the offense. You can't score every f#$%ing point on defense." Saban said he understood and would get back with him.

Saban has been reaching making calls the last few weeks and just got back to Woodward last week and said he found an OC, Lincoln Riley.

I was skeptical at first but look at the facts;

1. Belicick has got the Patriots back on track to show it wasn't all Brady. Nothing left to prove after this season except hasn't won a Natty.

2. Saban also has nothing left to prove and hired 2 former HC's to his staff. Random? Or are these his potential replacements.

3. Lincoln Riley quoted saying he will not be the next HEAD COACH of LSU. Why not just say he's not coaching at LSU next season. Guys like that don't leave out details. That was purposeful. Also, extremely competitive and realizes he can't keep his rep up after Oklahoma moves to SEC.


4. Woodward has been reportedly working on potential candidates since before the season...about the time Bill O'Brian was hired.

Conclusion: No coach announcement yet because Bama has SEC title game and maybe playoff. Coincides with NFL playoff timing. The ONLY wrinkle is the early signing period. Oklahoma is not going to the playoffs hence the reason Riley's name is coming up in recruiting. He's getting a head start until HC and DC show up.

We ridin' Dawgs?

P.S. My friend asked me not to tell a bunch of people so please try and keep it quiet for the next few weeks.
