Go after Sam Pittman if it happens.

Part of the reason he took the reduced buyout at Arkansas was they dropped the "have to find a new job" requirement. Good chance he retires.

I tire of this entire argument. If there is an advantage to being Independent there is nothing stopping Alabama, Texas, OSU, etc. from leaving their conference and going Independent.

---

The Longhorn Network was 100% laying the ground work for Texas to go independent in football and ESPN lost money on it.

Now let’s discuss SMU

---

They paid $200 million and forfeited all media rights revenue for 9 years.

Alabama:
• Beat 4-8 SC by 7

This is the same committee chair that said they dropped Alabama to 10 in part because they needed a second half comeback on the road at South Carolina to win and the same interview said "We think it was impressive A&M came back in the second half against South Carolina (at home)." If anything this is them correct their mistake of dropping Alabama as far as they did after the OU loss.

Either way keep crying LSU fans while Alabama plays in their 9th College Football Playoff in a few weeks while your team sits at home for the 11th time in the CFP's 12 seasons. :lol:

It's almost like their AD admitted when they hired Deion they didn't have the money for his full salary (and that was before the raise and extension).

Three year old SI story

I hope he stays there for a long time. They will have plenty of good seasons, but will never be a Saban led Bama team. They will always be beatable.

---

It's almost like there's only one Saban. Even in his last couple of seasons Saban had more one score wins than ever.

---

Same here. All I could think about was what would happen if we didn't convert.

---

Kane would have brought the house on one of the next plays with AU backed up like that.

Keep in mind part of the reason is the change in clock rules has shortened games so you get fewer possessions. We also frequently use the entire play clock and have 4+ minute drives even when we don't score. We didn't even cross midfield on our final drive yesterday and still burned over 6 minutes.

Work ethic.

They created rules to limit him in recruiting because he outworked everyone else.

---

This. He favored the college game because he felt like he could out work everyone else at other schools while the NFL was much more rigid in their schedules and when you could and couldn't work. His first spring at Alabama he visited so many schools laying the foundation for that 2008 recruiting class leading to the NCAA restricting head coaches doing that anymore. I believe it was Frank Beamer that whined he had to cancel his usual vacation because of it in his bid to get the NCAA to restrict spring recruiting. Tommy Tubs famously went duck hunting instead of recruiting like Saban one December ultimately leading to him getting fired at Auburn too.

quote:

---

The day after winning the National Championship, he still expected all the staff to show up and get to work.

---

Hell not even that long. In the locker room in Pasadena he congratulated the seniors and thanked them for helpping return Alabama to the mountain top and then just ripped into the underclassman saying that's not how you finish games and that's unacceptable and cannot happen again.

Love the fact that Pierre was held for 5 yards and they didn't throw a flag :lol:
