re: Do we really want Saban?

Posted by DRock88 on 11/11/25 at 6:26 pm to
I think that what's missing here is that the structure of the college football front office has evolved. Saban doesn't have to love NIL or really deal with it. He just calls the shots for his staff to execute. Obviously we'd hope that he'd be more personally involved with it than Kelly seemingly was, but maybe Saban really doesn't have to be. Kelly is not Saban. Saban would even be able to do more with less if it came to it.

I still consider Saban a long shot, but I'd be ecstatic if he decided to return to LSU. At worst, he gives us hope. At best, he gives us another natty and rides back off into the sunset after having rebuilt what seems like a sinking ship.
He must not believe he did anything contractually wrong. I hope we have a boatload of dirt on the guy that leaves him with $0 buyout and little to no shot at another head coaching hire. He was a prick from day one.
If we have to pay that much without recompense if he coaches elsewhere, we might as well throw all of the dirt out.

The only reason to keep his dirt under wraps is to better his chances of getting hired elsewhere to offset the buyout. If it comes to that, we might as well kiss his arse up and down the media.
Cliffs:


Jay believes the team will be able to thump. But, noted in a sense that you can thump during the season but the CWS requires a more diverse offensive approach. He liked the quality at bats and low K rate through most of the scrimmages. Likes the depth of the position players.

Brown should be one of the best players in America, and isn't even a finished product. He keeps getting better, and is a leader.

Pitching will be a strength. Good outing for Moore, Evans, Garcia, and Paz. Happy with Schmidt, happy to see Rizy wiggle out of a jam.

Impressed with Reaves, especially his defense at 2B.

Team is ahead of where they were at this time last year, but still alot to figure out.

SLU will be a good test. Very experienced team with good arms.

Not that I'm just noticing today, but we have an insane amount of quality arms. I think we're as deep as ever at almost every position, too. Now it's just finding out who will step up.

Did Simpson hit 2 homers today?
Other teams do such a better job of getting guys in space. We need to run the ball, but we have too many electric playmakers to primarily throw under 15 yds and outside the numbers. Our scheme is just too predictable, especially given the talent/speed we have at the skill positions.
I'm hearing that he's going to IMG next year. Can anyone confirm?

Champ does work here
Whoever the new coach is would be wise to keep Frank Wilson, Corey Raymond, and Kyle Williams in the building.

He's just petty enough to want to shake the college football world up for the hell of it.
He's pitched the last 2 Sunday scrimmages.
Eagerly waiting to see the cumulative scrimmage stats.
I found Rummel v Holy Cross on Varsity Sports Network. $11.99. Hard pass.
Rummel v Holy Cross streaming?
