Bama's offer to Saban

[Danzig]

as for where alabama and wv play, has nothing to do with which would be 'better'. wvu has been in contention the last few years. bama wants to be, and has quite a storied history. BUT right now they are viewed as being very high risk, and possibly not high return. there is no patience down there for a coach to come in, recruit and build a program. especially considering sanctions they've had, which hurt recruitment. the merry go round of coaches here the last few years has hurt recruitment as well. i think shula did pretty well considering everything he took on. and now they have a huge question mark again.
as for bama owing recruits in alabama, i think auburn might disagree.
