All 3 places he left abruptly in a fashion that pissed off the fanbase and 2 times he outright lied to people about leaving. In LSU's case he left us on Christmas Day.
Why any Alabama fan thinks anything he says is the truth baffles me. He is obviously the best college coach there is right now and they should appreciate what he's done for them.
Was he actively recruiting making personal visits to players house and telling their parents he's not going anywhere during the Michigan or LSU departures?

Yes, there was no indication until he quit in the middle of the Iowa game.

Yes, I'll post some info on that later.

I am starting to realize how young some of you kids must be to not know about this stuff
This is normal Saban behavior, every time.

Y'all act surprised that coaches would act like this.
Tuberville literally excused himself from dinner at a restaurant with recruits, to never be seen again when he left Texas Tech. Coaches DGAF.

One thing Saban's resignation at LSU did was to show McNeil the harder side of college football, the one that is about the bottom line, and not the rah-rah, feel-good stuff you get in the locker room or in your living room. It opened the prospect's eyes to the realities of college football at its highest levels, and he can't exactly say that he liked what he saw.
"I guess the one thing that it showed me was that this is all a business, and that there is a little bit of an ugly side to it all," McNeil said of Saban. "He (Saban) sat in my living room two weeks before he left and told me that he wasn't going anywhere, so, I after hearing all that, I guess you could say that I wasn't too happy with the way that things worked out."

No, he told recruits, "Hey, you do what you want but I'm off to Miami.. Don't tell LSU though."

I can't understand how people don't know the answer to these kinds of questions.
Of course he was. FWIW, it is part of the game and you can't blame him at some level because up until the pen hits paper there is no new contract and there are no guarantees... but of course he lied in nearly identical fashion in the previous incidents.
He may well decide to stay at Alabama. He has a special thing going there and he could win a lot more games there if he stays. Or he may decide to take the money and opportunity in Texas instead. We'll likely know within a week.

Read the Blind Side. Page 163:
quote:
On Saban's way out the door, Michael finally had a question, and it was a pointed one:
“You staying?" he asked, offhandedly.
There were rumors in the air that Saban was being offered NFL jobs. There was no point in going to LSU to play football for the incredibly charming Nick Saban if Nick Saban wasn't going to be there. “I've been offered several NFL head coaching jobs since I've been at LSU,” replied Saban, “and haven't taken one yet." Then he left and Collins turned to Leigh Anne and said, “That was a great political answer.” (Three weeks later, the Miami Dolphins announced Nick Saban as their new head coach.)
Any other brain busters, ChoadieMcSmalls?
