He worked out great needless to say but Denis Erickson sad no and someone else (cannot recall who) was before Saban. Took Bama 6, 6 different coaches from NC Stallings to Saban. Bottom line- you never know.

Could you imagine what a disaster it would have been if he had said yes?

Not really.

They were going after Tuberville when Sexton told LSU Saban may be interested. It was always Saban after Emmert met with him.
