I don't know where you got your info, but Bama fans could not care less about the RR/Saban point. We know theoretically that if RR had came here, we surely would not have Saban.

However, since it did not happen, it's pointless to fret over something that does not matter. We are quite happen and do not give RR a second thought now.
I despise colored fields, especially when the uniforms are the same color as the turf.The blending of the colors sometimes makes it difficult to keep up with what is happening, something definitely not intended to be part of the game originally.
Alabama and Florida are not unique, there are statues at stadiums and schools for athletes and coaches all over the country.
If Orgeron allows anybody other than him to pick a member of his staff, he will quickly fail.

Micromanagement always fails in any business, and coaching is the absolute worst. Texas is a prime example.

Coaches have to be strong enough to tell boosters and admn to butt out. That has been the key to Saban's success now.
Hurts practices against Alabama's defense everyday. Not many teams in America can throw anything at him that he does not see everyday from Saban and staff.
How about a former Alabama athlete in the pros? That's what GameDay did in Tuscaloosa one time, a former LSU athlete.
Never have understood why anybody would rush the field after a big win. IMO, it gives the impression that you believe someone was so much better than you, that if you win, you want to tell the world you are so happy you did something you did not think you could do, you rush the field with deliriously happiness.

Instead of rushing the field, why not just smile and say you knew you could win, no matter who the opponent.
Sorry, down vote doesn't mean jack to me. Now if I was in junior high, maybe.

The Alabama referees myth

There are 12 teams in the SEC who have had less penalties called on them than Alabama, LSU being one.Alabama is tied with Missouri for having the most calls against them.

7 of Alabama's 11 defensive starters have scored a TD this year.
Officially you are gold. The reality is you are yellow and Florida State is gold.
GMAC's father was an executive with the Dallas Cowboys for many years, he QB'ed a NC team, and he was a finalist for a Rhodes Scholarship his senior year. The man is smart and knows football.
A key to Saban's success has been his ability to mold his offense and defense to fit the talents of his players, not try and force them into a system that will not work with their talent.

That is not rocket science. Malzahn has tried the latter at AU, and look what a mess he has on his hands. I have the impression Miles may have done the same.
He won a NC as a QB,and was a finalist for a Rhodes Scholarship.So I would say that probably gives him more credibility than 90% of the talking heads in sports.
You obviously did not get to know Terry Saban very well while they were at LSU, she wears the pants in that family.

If you think family is irrelevant and has no influence on the Saban's, then you are about 10 years behind.

FWIW, Saban never threatened to go anywhere, the Texas story was media/booster nonsense.

I understand college football is big business, but sometimes in business trust between parties is the key to success.

Alabama wanted Nick Saban and nobody else, so they stuck their neck out to gain his trust. He has no buyout, he can leave freely at any time.
If Alabama fires him without just cause, he gets the remainder of his contract. He has no restrictions on wins and losses, he is paid the same for 0-12 or 12-0, but he is paid bonuses for post season accomplishments.

He has paid back Alabama's trust by staying loyal for 10 years. Now his children, grandbaby, and Mother are up the road in B'ham, so his wife says she will never move again.

My last point was this. Alabama and Saban kept that trust for years, now his personal life and Alabama's windfall from his accomplishments have permanently cemented that trust.

Now the question is this, is there a big time Coach out there that LSU is willing to gamble on such points as Alabama did with Saban? A young up and coming Coach, maybe not, a seasoned big time coach, perhaps.

It's going to be a trying time for the Tigers fan base. Best of luck in your search.
