re: All joking aside, if Saban does leave this will look terrible in the public eye.

Anybody at ESPN knows to deflect this off of Saban if they ever want another interview with the man! Especially Herbstreet! The media is so scared of Saban. Do you really think anyone has the balls to ask him a question other than us. That is there industry and if they want to have a long career and access to coaches ask pansy questions
