re: Saban was the 3rd or 4th Choice for LSU

That is not accurate. Sexton and Mal Moore had been talking since October of 2006. Mal's nephew was one of the contractors for Saban's Lake Burton home. Saban put out the original feeler through Mal's nephew. A few idiot donors wanted Mal to offer Rich Rod. So he made a low ball offer to get them off of his arse knowing that West Virgina could match. The offer was $2 million per year while he was making $1.8 million at WVU. People not close to the situation don't know the real story.

What you say is partially true, but Saban shot it down initially. He had always wanted to coach in the NFL and thought Miami could still be a shot. Moore was worried about his job in mid November because Shula was shitting the bed. There was an attempt at Rich Rod in late November because nothing else was happening and then Moore flew to Miami and showed up at Saban's house unannounced. Good move on Moore's part because the powers that be in Alabama would have accepted Rodriguez but they were not super excited about him. By late November early December Saban had enough of the NFL and the Miami GM. Moore found out about it and made his move.
