Saban's Bama teams are like 5-1 in bowl games. They mailed it in once. Not exactly a bad track record at Bama.

Exactly! Good point.

My problem is with all these incessant Saban rumors. My eyes have glazed over with the whole subject at this point. Of course we'd love to keep Saban here at Bama BUT if he goes, he goes. All this non-sense and forumgasming over Saban is old. It's not like Alabama will shrivel up and cease to be a top notch program. My word, friggin Mike Dubose, Mike Shula, and Bill Curry won double digit games in seasons here. Alabama is going to be just fine without Saban and furthermore, as good of a coach as Saban is...had he not been at a premier program such as LSU or Alabama he probably would have struggled to win a National Title. These programs helped make Saban elite and he was a good fit at each one. So if he does go to UT, best wishes. I hope for the best for him. We'll move on and get another high end coach and life will continue...
