If we have to give him a raise, we will. But he ain't leaving.

No one will give him significantly more money than Bama.
No one will give him significantly better recruiting than Bama.
No one will give him more adulation than Bama.
No one will give him more control of the program than Bama.
No one has more tradition than Bama
No conference is better than SEC.
He's at the top, he's staying there.

Call him greedy, challenge-driven, whatever you want. But he's not stupid. Leaving Bama would be stupid.

He like SOS wanted a SB ring, realized he hated it, then returned. CUM had all you listed. Now wants the challenge of winning one via OSU/Big-10.

Why is it so far-fetched than Saban would say automatically "No" to Texas or PSU? He has nattty hardware at two stops. Could go down as the GOAT with crowns at 3 different schools.

I think he retires at Bama, but to dismiss any possibility of his intrigue to Austin or Happy Valley, so easily, is a tad assumptive?

Texas can outbid Bama if it comes to that.

Texas

Probably true, but there's a hat on the shadow, if you know what I mean?

quote:

No one will give him more control of the program than Bama.


Penn State would, under the circumstances - I just think the scandal is too big to be serious. Texas would negotiate some control, but it wouldn't be permanent.

Saban doesn't give a flying f*ck about tradition

quote:

No conference is better than SEC.


True.

What if it's $100 million (and, no $hit, that's the rumor)? He won't leave for $100 million? You'd leave for $100 million and I would leave for $100 million. You can bet your sweet Aunt Maisy's a$$ Saban will leave for $100 million.

Genro I feel for you and your fellow Bama fans with regard to Saban. Read your post and replace bama with LSU In it. That's how we felt too so many years ago. Please dont allow your self to be so emotionally vested in Saban. Saban is a money whore and sexton is his pimp! They will rob you, knife you in the gut and leave you in the gutter to die.

Nick doesn't really go for that. Nick wants to coach football and go home and sometimes go out to eat at nice restaruant without having people yell "roll tide!, Geaux Tigers, or Go Green". It's that simple really. That's what appealed to him about the NFL. In Miami or Chicago he's not the biggest thing in town.

Nick wants the respect and admiration of his peers and superiors not fans so much.
