So I guess that means he loves Michigan and wishes he was still coaching in the state.

Pull up the video of him saying school X sucks and he would never coach there.

He's just preparing your fanbase for when Deboer takes the job.

What are you getting at here?

Saban pretty much never says anything negative about any school or coach

Only guy that defended kiffin, blamed NCAA and timing of signing day/portal

What would make my entire year would be for bama to blow to doors off of Oklahoma, Deboer abruptly leaves for Michigan, then Bama tries to get Kiffin and strikes out. That would be cinema.

That’s not what he’s said about LSU though. He has openly admitted he regrets leaving LSU.

If Kiffin would leave LSU for Bama, what would he owe LSU? Didn't the position coaches have something in their contracts that if they left before coaching a game, they would owe LSU alot of money?

It is. What I really appreciate about Michigan is 100,000 seats, almost all bleachers, and it fills up at -30 degrees. Old school.

No, it means he’s telling the truth about Michigan. You can be asshurt that he has openly admitted that leaving LSU was the biggest regret he had in his coaching career, but it doesn’t change the fact that he said it..

That really bothers you doesn’t it lol. Get over it Tony. LSU has a place in his heart. He was at bama longer due to having scratched the nfl itch but he had a nice run here and won a championship here. He can have fond memories of both places. Grow up.

If he left now, he’d owe LSU $7M. If you’re trying to hire Lane Kiffin, that’s like a drop in the bucket. Kiffin isn’t going anywhere besides maybe the NFL.

Troll that fails on so many levels

Skipping past the LSU trolling, as that's already been addressed. As for "wishing he was still coaching in Michigan"...
Saban was at Michigan State, a perennial 6-7 win program. He built them up, but he wasn't going to be able to overcome having University of Michigan in the same state. If he'd coached THERE instead of Sparty, he probably does the LSU run (maybe the Bama run) in Ann Arbor, until he moves to the NFL.

Well every coach that is a sexual predator seems to have left one way or another so maybe they can right the ship.
