Bama's offer to Saban

The bama forum sites are on the verge of a meltdown and so am I. Should know soon.

but that is impossible so....what to do? if he really is unhappy, if he feels he's had enough with pros and he feels this is a step forward, then he should go to 'bama. if he wants to finish what he started, and prove that he IS committed to the dolphins as he claimed yesterday, then he should stay where he is.
don't forget, a year before he left the tigers, a lot of people expected him to leave and he stayed. he still felt he had things to do at lsu, and he did them.

AMEN to that, Deb! I'm still ticked off that he left LSU to begin with.

If Saban goes to Bama, I will be sick.

And furthermore, he will become TIGER BAIT (and GATOR BAIT!)

[uscrules]

i interviewd for the position but i am not interested. i have too good of a thing going on in the nfl. saban will go, longer contract and less pressure to win. college kids only care about getting drunk, no cares on the wins and losses.

Saban to make decision by 10am EST tomorrow.

i'm not mad. i would be disappointed tho if he left lsu to only try pros for two years... i'll wish him the best regardless. but i agree with huizenga, i think he'll stay at miami.
guy at work said hey, maybe he'd end up in arkansas. i wonder what my face looked like....i told him no way i'd pull for the piglets even if he did go there. like that would ever happen.

i'd imagine nick won't get much sleep tonite. joe pa looks smarter all the time, never answering the siren call to go pro.

I'm really not sure WHAT Saban will do...Huizenga asked for a committment when he brought Saban onboard and gave him control.....but the pros' arent as fun as college kids,and if Saban doesn't take that dream offer from Bama....tough choice...wifey will put in her nickel! Guess we'll know tomorrow.

[Samarta]

If for no other reason, I hope he takes it for Bellamy Road's sake. I don't think he could take too much more rejection....

Seriously, I think Saban will take it. His coaching style suits the college game much more than the NFL.

LOL...hush it Ricky Bobby
what you guys don't grasp is coachs like new challenges
that's why he left lsu, he got them a NC, and decided to try his hand
on the top level, the NFL
if he takes the Bama job, I feel that he simply got there (the NFL) and decided
he liked coaching college better, the NFL can be a real grind on anyone
Pitino even admits today he should have never left UK for the Celtics
and Saben would probably say the same about LSU
and if he's making what they are reporting at UA, why would he worry
about getting another NFL gig?

from what i heard today IF he does NOT take the Bama job, it will be out of loyalty to the dolphins owner. on the other hand he wants OUT of the nfl because he doesn't like it.

i'd LOVE to see saban in charge of the Crimson Tide and hear the rest of the college world groan. the sleeping giant WILL be awaken !

ROLL TIDE !

See, I disagree... it will be tougher for him to share recruiting in Alabama with Auburn right there, too...

I can see him making an attempt at some Louisiana recruits and probably some Georgia ones too, but I don't think he'll be as successful at it. I'm more negative towards Saban right now because he left LSU and lied about leaving LSU... He left the Tigers on Christmas Day for heavens sake! To me, this just shows that Bama can't guarantee that he'll stay there regardless. He's a great coach and I believe that Bama will be a much better team because of him, but the Roll Tide will not have a repeat of the Bear Bryant years... sorry.

BIG Bama fan here. My daughter graduated from UA in 1994. Great college experience. I'll be interested to see how this all shakes out. ROLL TIDE!

I was born in Louisiana and lived in Baton Rouge for several years and still love the place. Have some super special friends down there. I guess I enjoyed living dangerously, because while living there, I had an "I'm A Bama Mom" sticker on my little white Civic.

That is brave!

I love messing with these guys more than anything... one of my friends in Atlanta is a HUGE Tide fan (he graduated from UA too)... this is his "Bama Basement":

I think Saban should keep Joe Kines on the staff to handle the halftime interviews.

she was there when I was
you'd think the AD would have him (NLS)
hook, line, and sinker after what happened
with the WV coach
at least if he says no
we could say we shot for the fences
the Boise State coach looked pretty good last night
almost the perfect college bowl game
excellent play, excellent sportsmanship
