saban regretted leaving college when he found pros not to his liking. but now he has to live with walking out on a team he committed to. he's hurting his reputation.
Make that TWO teams he committed to. He walked out on LSU too.

oh, i know. but everyone understood the desire to move on to pros. but it's a bitter taste knowing he only gave that two years. why bother if that was all he was willing/able to give?

i just get very frustrated when people walk out on a contract, or have a good year so they want to renegotiate--but have a bad year--can you imagine the reaction if a player was told we want to renegotiate because you weren't up to snuff?? but perfectly acceptable to put the owner on the spot. it's ridiculous.
saban is lucky he worked for who he worked for, huizenga is being quite a gentleman about it all.

haha, not where I'm from
cajun knows, but whatever
women have different rules
in trying to understand football

it's no problem samarta
I led the league in techs
when playing basketball
I'm used to having to sit
but I apologize if I said anything to offend you

c'mon though, regrets, I don't know
I left a job in November I could not stand
was making more money than the job I have now
but I'm much happier now
haven't we all taken a job that didn't work out?
you have to enjoy getting up in the morning
to do what you do everyday
and it seems like Saban just wasn't happy
in that situation

hopefully, he'll be happy in T-town
& successful!

happens all the time in the NFL. Contracts are NOT guaranteed and players are forced to take paycuts all the time.

This guy is a top notch recruiter. He was also linebackers coach at Nebraska under Tom Osborne.

Get ready, SEC.

Its interesting when a coach with a defensive background hires a big time defensive assistant.

Saban will have bama ready to win in about two years.

I really cant blame him for his decision. How could anybody?

This just proves that Saban was lying out of his ass all along... no way he'd be hiring this quickly unless he'd been planning this. What a piece of SHIAT!
