What recruit there is showing interest in Bama? For that matter, what other recruits from the BR area are considering Bama, if any?


He is probably going after all the LSU recruits since no one is recruiting for us right now.

Doesn't Saban have a vacation house somewhere in Georgia? If so, does anybody know where in Georgia?


It's where he and his wife are going to retire and where they "call home"...don't remember the name of the town tho. I will see if I can find the article that talked about it.

You nailed it. That is exactly what is going on. Saban sees a weakness and is roaming his old stomping grounds trying to raid our recruiting class. He did it last year and he's doing it again.

Don't you guys see? Saban IS NOT coming back to LSU. He HATES us. He used us and has now moved on. He tried to hire Jimbo Fisher away from us before he left for FSU, he tried to get Tommy Moffitt. He tried to steal our recruits last year. He took credit for the Sugar Bowl win and he ran down our coaches on the recruiting trail. This is not a good person and he has NO loyalty to LSU.

Wake up, guys. He's a lying conman.

He has said that the success belongs to LSU, not him, including the NC win.

He is just an aggressive coach willing to do anything to win and succeed at his current position

Posted this on another thread, but this is my favorite Saban quote. When he said it, I immediately looked at my husband and said, he's replacing Miles when he leaves for Michigan.

It was a special time for us, and I may never have another opportunity to ever experience winning a national championship in the Sugar Bowl in your home state

This news is picking up some serious steam here in N.O. It's about all they're talking about on WWL.

Of course people are calling in claiming sources saying the deal is done. Two seperate callers claimed the same numbers... 10 years, 3M per year, annuity bonus at the end of 10 years with a huge buyout (10M)

Not saying I believe any of this, but it is interesting.

I also find it interesting that Saban hasn't done ANY work with the team since the Iron Bowl. He said they aren't working out or anything, he is "waiting to see which bowl they will play in", then he will get them prepared.
