Saban is NOT coming back!!!

He has too many enemies in the TAF - no way do they let him back in.

plus, we can do much better.

Same thing I heard from my friend that is VERY high in the TAF. He even said the contract will include a clause that Saban can NOT coach college ball after he leaves LSU.

10 years???

Man, you guys'll buy anything. Are you aware that State Law prohibits a contract of more than 5 years? CANT BE TRUE. People should check some facts before they post bad rumors, at least TRY to make it believable.

I was actually taking you seriously until you said this.

I realize saying that you have a source is like saying you have two legs around here. However, for what it is worth, the latest that I've heard on the TAF stuff is that Skip and one other big time booster are definite no's to Saban. However, a few others are definite yes's to Saban. They have been calling around to different people in a attempt to feel out how the different levels of contributors would feel about it. Clearly, I am not saying that Saban is coming back or anything of the sort. Furthermore, I am not making any assumptions about whether he would come back, what his contract would be, or so forth. I have heard nothing about that. Only that the boosters are being felt out right now about their opinion on the matter.

That is what I was told, I asked him WHY would Saban sign that after he has insisted on never having a buyout, he said "cause he HATES Alabama and WANTS to be at LSU".

Guess we will see.

Ummmm . . . I'm an attorney, I do corporate and business law, I would love to know the law that prevents contracts for more than five years. Guess in all the years I've read the Civil Code I must have missed that one.

Did I ever say that you were wrong???
Does this law only apply to government organizations and institutions?? I mean, it clearly states in the link that Bush is in the midst of a 6 year contract. And I'm almost positive that Drew Brees' contract is more than 5 years also. I was just curious

Didn't say that you were wrong, I was agreeing with you. There is no law in Louisiana that prohibits contracts of more that 5 years. In fact, any such law would be unconstitutional as it would probably violate the commerce clause. I just hit post reply on your post because it was the last one on the thread. Sorry for the confusion.

I think he meant that the state can't offer a contract of more than 5 years. (LSU coach=state job)

A simple 30 year loan (contract) would be against the law otherwise.

That would still be incorrect. If the state couldn't enter into contracts for greater than 5 years, then many buildings and equipment which are leased by the State would be under contracts which violate this law. I'll look at the Code and statutes, but I've never heard of this limitation.

In an employment contract (not at-will employment), I believe the parties simply have to state a duration. I don't think there is a limit to the duration. In other words, we just don't want to have perpetual contracts.

I could be wrong though.
