per my sources

Good news if you want Walker here i guess.

Interesting to see who Saban can land there. Its obviously a primo OC gig but nobody ever seems to want to work for that fella with the Napoleon complex.

The guy came to Bama under a dream scenerio. A big time, experienced O-line (built by Shula btw) and an experienced QB who wouldnt make big mistakes...not to mention some very good RBs.

No way he would pass up an opportunity to be a HC to go back to Bama with no O-line or QB and a Megalamaniac for a HC>

I agree 100%. If I was AD at NMS (based on what I know), I would have gone with Walker.

didn't he throw like 9 TDs? They didn't really ask shite from him unlike Crowton.

Agreed. Unless there is something else to it.

Perhaps he wants an offensive minded HC (not sure he got one).

maybe the gumps will now understand how difficult it is for coaches to work under Saban-- it will be hard to maintain consistency when you have that kind of turnover
