Somehow Saban knew about Miles going to Michigan and reached out.
Yes, but I don't remember it being a well kept secret, at least not on this board. Between the few sauces on here (who were actually legit at that time) and the tea leaves, ALL signs pointed to Saban leaving Alabama and coming back here. Saban was the ONLY candidate, we were not talking about anyone else.
And then that crazy Saturday happened...

A genuine question. I’ve had arguments with a bama fan who swears saban didn’t but if I remember correctly he tried to come back and skip turned it down.
Richard Gill had him locked up to come back during the whole Miles to Michigan fiasco as well. He’d only been at Bama for 1 season at the time.

Who knows, but Les had just cranked out two great seasons.. Would've been hard to fire Les then. FTR, after the GOTC Les held a 3-2 head-to-head advantage over Nick but would never win again. It wasn't that Nick was at Bama, it's what Les became here. The fallout resulting from Perrilloux is what did Les in, not Nick.
This is true.
The GOTC is still my favorite game ever played.
However, the difference between Les and Saban is clear. After the GOTC, Saban realized he HAD to make offensive changes. Les never came to that same realization.
