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

Saban was greeted at the airport by this drunken fan...

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. :mad: What a piece of SHIAT!

yeah, the only other lower lifeform I can even fathom
is a person who cheers for two SEC teams;)
which have now taken over the #2 and #3 spots
in the SEC pecking order!!!
Roll Tide Roll!!!

Don't make me comment on lower lifeforms, Michael. :)

LOL, don't make me have to cheer for Ohio State!
because I will ya know~:p
LSD played pretty well last night
if there were a playoff, I wouldn't want to play them

Ok, logically, it makes very little sense for you NOT to root for the Gators...

Every SEC team is helped by having an underdog Gator team bring Ohio State down to size. It's good for the conference.

In a system in which the rankings, not a playoff, determines what happens, I'd rather enjoy to keep and strengthen the belief that the SEC is the toughest conference. What better way to do so than to go 6-3 in the bowls, win two BCS games and claim the national champion as one of our members?

Better for us all (SEC fans) if the Gators win. So there. :p

picket and carry signs.

people say to cheer for the SEC
and I say how can I cheer for the likes of
awbarn, Smokey Top, LS-who?, arkansaw
Flarda, and Joe-Ja?
Urb doesn't really deserve it either
and I dread the decisions Leak will be making
with that Oh-io D coming fast
but Jame, I'll try just for you ;)

Alabama fans whining how Dennis Franchione screwed them and their kids...
which of course he did and is part of the reason ATM will never get their National Championship (the other reason is they exist is to beat Texas- aim a little higher for Gods sake Aggies, the theme of your fight song is to saw the Longhorns horns off)

What a bunch o' crap. Maybe Saban can complete his antics by getting Bama on probation.
Lyin sack o chit.
And I really liked Alabama, I remember rooting for them way back in a Sugar Bowl against Penn ST... rooting against a coach who has some class. Shame on me.

so if harvard offered you a gig to teach your physics at their school, would you tell your class right before final exams and crush their spirits? or just tell them after it was over? the media is simply relentless, and can't give someone time to make up their mind~Fran did beat Texas, btw

guys like joe paterno are a rarity. then you have an organization like the steelers. as long as i've been alive, i've seen chuck noll and then cowher there. of course bill is probably on the move now. but i guess when franchise players went out the window, so did franchise coaches.

but i do know bama is dammed lucky, because i understand that had saban turned them down, houston nutt was next on the list. of course, had the tide gotten him, that would have been good for arkansas.

from pat forde on saban.

Bama fans would have burned the school down had they hired that clown. Grobe at wake or mike sherman were next. Maybe even jimbo fisher, oc at Lsu.

when the first couple people told me nutt was second, i scoffed. and of course it could just be a rumor. then late yesterday my son said he heard nutt was #2. so i laughed 'haha, he's number two'...
nutt IS a clown tho for sure....whatever he's paying his agent isn't enough, what a snow job!

This is kind of off topic, but I saw this article and thought it was interesting...
