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?


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?
