re: The interesting think about Saban to WVU rumors....

Saban is an enigma. Great coach with no distinguishable personality. He wants a job where his is the only program in the area. That kind of rules out any of the FLA jobs (plus now they have SF and UCF poaching talent). I think he prefers that the job be substantial enough to draw high quality recruits. And, he wants to win now!

Of the jobs and conferences out there, the SEC has a couple of those jobs: LSU and TN. Now if Fat Phil takes a hike or gets booted, then Nick would be primed for that job. Obviously LSU is taken for the foreseeable future.

I also think that either the TX or OK jobs (TX more likely) would be right up Nick's alley. I'm not saying that Brown or Stoops is headed anywhere, but should something happen, well Nick would be front and center.

Would he come back to the B10, well PSU seems intent on an east coast guy, but he would be looked at. More likely that he would take either the Illinois job (Zook is proving that you can recruit there) or more likely the ND job when Chubby heads back to the NFL (by the way, with Parcells in Miami, he could come knocking in SB).
