Fowler's Comment, Saban's Opportunity
Posted on 1/8/10 at 11:49 am
Posted on 1/8/10 at 11:49 am
Having gotten off from work at 10 this morning, and being snowed in with nothing to do, I had an opportunity to reflect on the golden opportunity that Saban has.
Here goes. Instead of actually settling in as the coach of this or that school, Saban should simply contract himself out to crappy schools for 1-3 years, build up their program, and then move on to the next crappy school. Since we all know that a monkey could coach any Saban-built team into a national championship, it should be interesting to see these programs usurp the positions of the top programs and eventually battle it out amongst themselves. It could also be financially beneficial for Saban and the teams. Saban can charge a flat rate of $4.5 million a year for a three year "building period" and then the school can pay a high school coach $80,000 a year to coach for the ensuing 5-8 years, in which they will be able to win at least 50-65 games and 1 NC with Saban's players. It's a net financial gain for a lot of teams, and a potential windfall for Saban. Meanwhile, once he's made his rounds, he'll be in a position to perennially take credit for whomever wins the national championship. Everybody wins.
Amiright? Let me know what you guys think. Maybe he'll pay me to be his agent once I resign from the Navy and graduate from law school.

His conservative plan almost allowed a QB with no experience to pull off a huge win, if not for mack Texas wins

Michigan State wants their money back.

How many national championships did Saban win at Michigan State?? I thought Dinardo beat him in the Independence Bowl. Granted he has done a good job at LSU and Bama but it's not like he is another Bear Bryant.

When you have a defense that will knock the other teams jocks off and two 100 hundred yard runners.....I guess you can play "conservative"!
Sure wish LSU would play "conservative"!

You're confused, dude. Saban has never lost a game as a college coach; And he NEVER will.
quite frankly, I don't think Saban is that good and I don't think any decent school would even consider him. I mean, did you watch the first two drives of the game?! Bama's offense in the first two drives gained negative yards I think, and the defense gave up two scores. There's no way any self-respecting program, not even to consider a program of the stature of LSU, should tolerate that sort of lack of preparedness... I do admit that I didn't see most of the game, so maybe Bama played a little better after that terrible start, but still...

How many national championships did Bear win at Kentucky again? This comparison is unfair to both men..

Brilliant. Makes sense to me. Can we be first?

Until said high school coach (or Chimpanzee with a head set) wins that NC you talk about and jockeys for a restructured extra $3,920,000/year by convincing the group of morons responsible for hiring and firing coaches that he's leaving to coach at Brame Jr. High School.
Gauranteed in these contract negotiations should be something about the most improbable scenario since the big bang occurring so that LSU (or whatever school) could actually get into the promissed championship game after losing to a couple of unranked opponents.

I'll go a step further and say this..cover your ears Bama fans. Nick Saban is a BETTER coach than Bear Bryant. You cannot tell me there was more parity in college football in Bear's day than there is now. Also if Bear was standing here ask him (when he was building Alabama)what the words schloarship limits, recruting violation or NCAA practice limits meant to him...you'd get a blank look I promise.

Excellent analysis. I sometimes think the same thing about Coach K and John Wooden in basketball..."64 teams, you say?" "Gonzaga's a team to be reckoned with?"
I won't ever question the Bear's desire to win...I think he and Saban are on the same level. Losing, to both men, was as bad as it got. Losing to Les just means you give another poor, inarticulate presser after the game, you put your arm around your player's shoulder and tell them a story about Bo, and you hug your wife (if you can find her) and kids when you get home. It isn't the greatest feeling in the world. It isn't the worst. Not saying Les is a bad guy or wrong for doing those things...nobody does...just means Nick takes losing a lot worse than Les.
Saban on the other hand plays in a world of more parity and higher standards.

Michigan read your post, former Domino's manager is on the phone with Sexton's office right now, "Jimmy, we want Nick, Michigan needs a Michigan State man!".."We also hear Nick's from West Virginia..we love hiring HCs from the Mountaineer state!"
