Just for clarification...it is not Bob Sale but he would be a good one to ask.

He asked that I not tell his name...of course!
That was his father Pat. And yes it was DWI's. The last time he ran through a house, but said he fell asleep (narcolepsy...SP?) He did get out of it though.

I am not one of those Saban lovers or haters. I appreciate what he did. I ask all of those questions to myself. The only response I can come up with is "THE IDIOTS IN ALABAMA ARE DRIVING HIM CRAZY...and he misses Candy"

Saban Contacting Potential Staff

Guys, I do not post very often and this may seem like a he said she said, but this did happen without a doubt.

Saban contacted former ULM coach Mike Collins who is coaching in Texas. He asked Mike if he would be interested in coaching with him at LSU. A local businessman here in Monroe is good friends with the Collins family. He is the one that told me this. Collins was let go by ULM after some legal issues. Saban then hired him at LSU in 2003.

Saban also contacted a coach from Derek Dooley's staff at Tech.

His conversation could have been purely hypothetical and it may not necessarily mean that it is a done deal, but the conversation did take place.

I am not sure how I feel about Saban coming back, IF he does. I will not worry about that until it happens. The one thing I do know is that I love LSU and whatever the powers that be decide I will still support my TIGERS!
