re: Would you prefer Saban signing Brees...

The real question is who's to say that Brees would be as effective in a Saban run system, when clearly it's the relationship between he and Payton that makes him what he is today.. Last night is proof of that...

Saban would probably only stuck around for another year anyway but you're correct he most likely would not have ended up at Bama. I think, aside from Bame becoming dominate again, the situation worked out great for all parties involved except the Dolphins.
