I am perfectly happy were I am. Of course I would turn them down. Why would I want to go? Money... not. Prestige, I am too old for that, prestige is for the insecure. I am valued were I am, what more could I want.

So Saban will be making about the same amount of money. He will be doing what he says he likes to do, teach kids, which I respect a great deal.

BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHEN YOU ARE ASKED IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ALABAMA, TWO SIMPLE WORDS COME TO MIND: NO COMMENT

Or is that too hard coach? time to make up his mind, he is a liar... its simple.

BTW I suggest you look up coach Frans record against UT.

Oh, so he is not the first coach to lie... so that justifies the lie. Wonderful.

saban ditched mich st for lsu, didn't even stay to coach them in the bowl game they got to that year.
then he ditched lsu before his time was up.
now he ditched the dolphins.
when he does the same to 'bama, no one can really be surprised.
as holtz said, no one more popular than a new coach.
saban is a winner. he's also a liar and a quitter. i am not going to be alabamas coach. that's what he said. i'm committed to the dolphins.

yeah, sure nick. i'm more ticked at myself for believing him than i am at him at this point.

he'll win, he'll be a hero. but when he leaves before the eight years, i hope no one acts surprised.

when houston nutt was asked if he was interested in miami he said i am with arkansas, and RIGHT NOW (my caps) that is what i am focused on. he used the phrase 'right now' twice. left him an out. he didn't get offended at the questions. he answered them.
saban acted like he was SO offended the ?'s continued. gave the reporters heck.

you know, it's funny when you look things over. tuberville/auburn fans were offended when they started looking for his replacement. yet he walked out on miss after saying they would have to carry him out in a pine box. it's how it's done i guess.
brutus is an honorable man

"no comment" can be substituted with "I changed my mind"
