Hmm I wonder what happened.

My best guess is that when Saban started being rumored to Texas it made him step back and think about the bigger picture. There is a strong chance that Saban may not be around for 4 more years at Alabama. If that happens, is he comfortable being at a Sabanless Alabama?

On the other hand, LSU is LSU. He has friends and probably a cousin or two there. If Les Miles were to leave, LSU is probably still just as desirable as it would be if Les were there all 4 years.

So in other words, maybe he realized he wants to commit to a school and not just a coach.
