I felt the same when he left LSU for Miami, wished him luck and was happy for him and that he left LSU far better than when he arrived.


I was the same way. I was pulling for the Dolphins for two seasons.

But when he showed back up at Alabama..


Dude helped orchestrate the firing of Shula. He was contacting Bama behind the scenes and was like, "If your job is open, I'm interested." Bama didn't reach out to him, he reached out to Bama.

Seems like it would be a perfect topic for the coaching changes board IMO....

Would hope flight tracking was involved as they are every year

Kirby Smart is Bama's next coach. They'll be fine. But nowhere near what they once were. This is the end of an era. Embrace the Phoot.

I know he has no ties to Tuscaloosa, and if he wants to leave, I'm ok with it. This has been a great 6 years. No one expected him to be this successful when he first came.


Totally agree,

I was despondent after 2007 with the textbook (non)issue and the terrible record.

I wondered if Bama football was too far gone to get back. After seeing the 2008-2013 run he earned tons of respect. If he wants to leave there would be no hard feelings here, Bama is in much better shape than jan 2007 when he got here.

I think some of us LSU fans would fap to this more than to the Saban to UT idea.

The easiest way to dispel a rumor is to show facts that say otherwise. Show me facts of UT talking to or asking permission to talk to other coaches. Could all these flights be UT flying around meeting other coaches agents away from their college towns? Sure, its possible, not likely at this point. Sabin is the only target they would have to go thru these great lengths for, as for as trying to not let it out.

Mack Brown is not coaching UT next year, I cannot imagine one person still believing differently... so show me anything, other than Sabin info, that points to another coach being the target.

HE BOUGHT A HOUSE IN AUSTIN!!!! WTF else do you need to know that he is considering the job? He has plenty of money, so if this situation falls thru, he can easily put it back on the market. But he sent his wife shopping there in advance for a reason.... if not, he would have made her wait another month to go thereshopping for homes..

BTW, didn't I read earlier this year he was dumping his huge mansion in AL?

Exactly. Someone could say those same things, but say what you wanna hear in regards to Saban, and they would be credible.

And everyone knows it.

Doubt you stay elite without him.


That is a fair opinion.

There is no high profile coach that is going to want to come in after Saban and there is no assistant coach that keep the program at the same level.


This is also your opinion. Nobody knows if this is correct or incorrect. Coaches have huge egos and think they can be successful anywhere. Considering that Bama has a pretty stacked roster, it wouldn't be that hard to be successful.

Did you miss all the Miles to Michigan/Arkansas threads over the years? Or all the Stud out as OC threads?
