JessN: Sources say Saban, Bama are close on contract

[tidefanbeezer]

For those who could use a little amusing release, I bring to you the:

2006 Who Will Be The Next Alabama Coach? thread.

You'll see some "usual suspects" in there - and watch as the wind shifts repeatedly.

I'm chuckling at a lot of it.

Hind sight makes this thread comedy gold.

Shouldn't pay Coach Saban 10 million a year for 10 years

This guy...

It's worth paying CNS the ten mill just to keep from having to play against him. Besides, the success he brings to the football program will more than pay for itself.

They are all garbage with respect this story. Most of this "press" is the result of a group of Texas fans who are pushing their agenda while having fun at the expense of anyone who is invested in this in any way. They are laughing at the angst that they have created.

Nobody's laughing on our (Texas) side, friend.

And not one group.

We are every bit as interested in this as you.

I wonder if this is what CNS meant as "noise"?

Uh oh...

Here's a obviously real pic of Saban in the Council of Regents!

LOL

Heh...I was thinking more......

But yours will work.

Yes. He don't like it!

Am I stuck in some kind of fifth dimension or parallel universe or something? Is this The Matrix? Is Earle really Morpheus and Saban is Neo? I guess Miss Terri is Trinity?

Prepare to start an exciting search for a new coach not named Saban.

Well that settles it. He's now coaching for the Siths.

Twitter has exploded with "news" from every angle on this story. I will be glad when it is over.

The only way I could see CNS leaving is with Bob Witt leaving to go to Texas as their president. The two of them are like minded and Dr Witt would not let CNS get away. When softball coach Pat Murphy tried to go to lsu, Dr Witt sent Mal to get him back to Bama even after he had announced he was the new coach at lsu. As long as Dr. Witt is at Bama, I can't see CNS getting away.

Unfortunatly he's with the university system now. So I'm not sure of his involvement for this one

Yeah, that's what I said.

Alec Morris has apparently swooped in and took the job!

A lot of people have been asking and yes it's true... I'm gonna coach Texas

Awesome! :biggrin:

Witt is chancellor of the UA system but trust me he is still involved with the main campus in Tuscaloosa. You might note it was Dr. Witt on the platform for the NC trophy presentation with CNS last year. Judy Bonner may be president but she was placed by Dr. Witt after the Bailey fiasco last year.
