Could it be that this might be a factor in Saban looking for another job?

They get together on Thursdays and run a train on Kirby's wife.

Icy at best. Saban doesn't care for him because he doesn't let him walk over him like mal moore

I'm sure LSU fans will have insight into it

I would have to think that Saban respects the hell out of Bill Battle since he was also a coach.

But Saban may be jealous of Battle's money. He founded CLC and is rolling in the cash.

Nah, but we could provide some background. Nick & Skip Bertman did not get along. While Nick "loved" LSU when he left for Miami he didn't like answering to anyone and both were happy to be rid of each other. You had Miami offering total control to a control freak so the money bump was just lagniappe. I really do think it's important for a guy like Saban to either have no boss or a total pushover for a boss.

Tuscaloosa is more twisted than I originally perceived....

Yeah, Battle's success as a coach is quite impressive.

Battle and Moore played together for Bryant. You can be assured Saban was on board with Battle's hiring. Not to say they have the same relationship as Moore and Saban, but Battle is an accomplished businessman and an Alabama man. They will be. All right.

He would not be at Bama without Saban's approval.
