Hey all, I haven't been on here in a long time due to some personal issues and did not have the time. Now I am back again. . I have missed the insight from everyone on this board and am glad I finally have the time to return.



I believe we all know this already, but it is always good to read again.

The most telling part of the article which media pundits never take into consideration when talking about CNS possibly leaving:

"No, I really don't," Saban told Low. "I don't see it ever happening. And I know every year somebody has me going somewhere else. I think a lot of it isn't just about the coaching part. What people don't understand is they forget you're a person. They forget you have a wife and two kids and a grandbaby, and they all live in Birmingham. "They all work here. My wife goes to Birmingham five times a week. My mom lives in Birmingham now after moving from Myrtle Beach. It's not just the job. A lot of people don't get that. My life is here."

I like to hear things from him. Finebaum had every major news outlet report his "wisdom" last week that he would not be surprised if Coach Saban walks away if we win a NC. It is the exact opposite of the what will happen and I was surprised that Finebaum was that misinformed.

I don't think he was really that mis-informed. He simply wanted to get the crazy Bama callers to go off and he got what he was wanting. Finebaum knows how the machine works.

Did coach Saban sell his house on Lake Burton? Sure he has a nice spread on the water in Tuscaloosa. Fate that we got such a perfect fit for out program. He is a mastermind at CEO levels, but he is also a country boy. He's not jet setter big shot that has to have a home in Naples Florida, he liked lake Burton! Perfect match. I thank his dad a lot for making him pump gas all those years, it grounded him. He is the most grounded coach since Coach Bryant, no question. Mal Moore knew. Thank God Rich Rod's wife was made fun of on Finebaum. Here we are now, 3 National Championships later. We are so fortunate to have not only the best coach in the country, but one of the best ever!

I think it did also..That disaster hit his home base in Alabama & he stood tall helping our State recover from it..

It's great having you back & am looking forward to your posts here on TideFans my friend..Roll Tide Roll!!!!!..

I'm pretty sure he still has his his vacation home on Lake Burton & uses it to get away for a coupe weeks..He also takes recruits there in the off-season as well..

You remember Shane from Centerpoint? I used to do website, he was a fun caller. I actually believe Finebaum believed this, and know his nitch, and it's caller based. If you get down to the nuts and bolts, Paul knows very little about the game, I doubt he ever played. And is why he has on "experts" and his show his caller driven. He believed this imo. Every major outlet picked it up. I shook my head. It is the exact opposite of alpha male coaches, they don't walk away at the top of the hill. They keep fighting.
