Oracle is right on the money with everything he's said in this thread....well maybe not about the new appoitment...

So was it really a better situation....hmmm let's see...Do I take a nice raise, uproot my family, leave a program that is already established and will be a top 5 pre-season team next year, potentially the Heisman Trophy winner next year, leave a community that absolutely loves me, walk into a high risk, no loyalty, middle of the road program at best, or do I stay get a nice raise because they want me to stay, have my facility upgraded because I can, have a shot at competing for a BCS game next year which would make 2 out of the last 3 years, make my ties to the community even stronger because I stayed loyal, and in a couple of years be regarded as one of the few coaches that can do whatever and wherever I want....sorry boys, I'm staying put....
God to see you,Sam! Folks..no matter what job you have..you still have to go back to the little lady at the end of the day. She didnt want to uproot the family...and,he having more sense than most...wisely chose to stay.;)

agreeing that home and family are the number one priority doesn't indicate who wears what. after all, the legend known as joe paterno refused to leave a good thing. does that mean he couldnt' handle a coaching job elsewhere?

Whatever. The fact is he mentioned her numerous times in the press conference and quite frankly he should've had her take over the pc because he was stumbling over every word like he was passing along second-hand information.

I don't think he needs 48 hours to chill, just lock him outta the sports bar threads and he will be fine Steve.
if you've not been to an SEC game, you NEED to! just pick out a good match up and that will help you understand.

my wife went to her first Bama game last year. Lsu came to Tuscaloosa and she was overwhilmed by the whole thing. she still talks about it and looks forward to goin again.

Alabama-Auburn can't be beat. Unbelievable atmosphere.

Why do I get the feeling that we'll be watching Jack Bauer take down Tim and Oracle at some point in the new season of 24. I wonder what they will do with the other 23 hours.....:D

No doubt the SEC is the best football in the country. Fans go bonkers over it....

Arsenal.
I'm looking to take out guys like that guy with the grenades yesterday, and all his buddies. We don't need them, its time to get on the stick and take care of these folks once and for all.
The Kid From Brooklyn had the right idea.

it's not as good as it used to when Legion Field was split 50-50. the home-away series has really taken from it.
Bama-ut was cool so was Bama-Lsu.
the Bama-psu series was great fun and the 2 oklahoma games were excellent!

Bamas New Head Coach!!!!!

Coach Pants 12-14-2006 01:20 PM
Chris Mortensen is making the rounds on ESPN radio reporting that Saban isn't happy in Miami and is interested in returning to the college ranks.

Pointg5 12-14-2006 02:11 PM
Local Sports radio guy that covered the SEC made a comment that I agree with: 2 Football Schools that are no longer what they were Alabama and Miami and the jobs are not attractive at all, he ranked Alabama as the 8th most attractive job in the SEC. These two schools got the Heisman from Rutgers and West Virginia, not real impressive...

and that's his alma mater, and home state for both he and his wife
I see this more of a reflection on RR and his agenda
than anything negative about the Bama job itself
Facilities, I have to laugh at this comment, the beat writer for University of Cincinnati Football who covered Georgia and spent time at Alabama, commented that the UC facilities were as good or better than Georgia and Alabama, we're talking about a middle of the road Big East School, this job is not what you think...

Any job where the expectations are out of whack with the reality is gonna be a hard job. The Bama traditionalists expect someone to ride in a white horse and turn this thing around immediately. They aren't a bad program, but getting one to the level that they seem to expect, in whats usually the deepest conference top to bottom is not gonna be easy.
Surprises me that Saban already wants to go back to college. Thought he would stick it out at Miami a while.

Big-O: the guy with the White Horse is out here,lol! Seriously...Saban might be tired of being in middle management as far as things go in the pros! In college, recruiting is a drag...but you're still the Big Fish. Or maybe he's tired of the mentality of Pro athletes? PS...I sent you a PM last week!

Got it!! And I'm working on it!!
As far as Saban goes, he would be the best guy they could get anyway!!!
Hes won a National Championship and now has pro connections that prospects wanna see because they all think they are gonna make it to the pros.
He'd be a major score for Bama, and he could offer them the best chance at getting back to where they wanna be.

what does a sports radio talking head in cincinnati and a cincinnati fish-hack know about Alabama Football? my guess is, close to nothing.

the Bama job is still a great job, it will take some extra elbow grease to get it shined up again. appearently coaches now a days don't want to do any work.

CRR can stay at wvu with his terrible in and out of conference schedule win 9-10 games every year. go undefeated and be LUCK to play for the NC IF at all.

Bama interm coach and DC Joe Kines told the team last saturday " CRR traded a goldmine for a coalmine". in the near future, Kines is probably right.

I'd say expectations are the same at Alabama than at ND
I live a stone's throw away from Indiana, and see far more
Tide stickers than Irish, nobody wants to live in South Bend
they just got Weis because nobody would give him a HC gig in the NFL
