If he just came out and said that they made him an offer he couldn't refuse and was honest about it instead of going all coach speak on it he might survive it again.

Something along the lines of "Would YOU turn down that kind of money if you knew you only had a few years left to earn it for your family?" Because ultimately that's what it comes down to.

Who the hell is chatsports? Is there no individual connected to this story?

Ok, so if Saban was a greedy, disloyal scumbag taking an immoral and ridiculous contract offer that was going to "ruin college football" when he left Miami for Alabama how do you explain this offer? I guess getting paid a gauranteed $10 million a year for 10 years is no big deal because Texas is just that great and desirable of a job?

I have to give it to some of you. You want Saban away from Alabama so bad that you've gone from outrage over Saban's initial $4 million a year contract at Alabama to not even batting an eye at a gauranteed $10 million a year. I guess the "outrage" is all dependent on who is involved. How convenient.
