JessN: Sources say Saban, Bama are close on contract

CoastGhost · Dec 8, 2013

I can't believe he has coached himself out of the legacy as a gypsy and a liar at Alabama just to ensure his last move makes it indelible. The Sabans have not been on the fence with their statements, no ambiguous comments. Not saying it isn't possible but he would never again escape the reputation. He is 62 years old and unless the desire to build something is truly embedded in his DNA and he can't resist the lure of one more chance at conquest and glory ... he is not going anywhere ... like he clearly said.

To me what makes me confident is that BOTH he and is wife said they were staying.

I agree with you. If something happened differently, I'd question two people's integrity.

Well I tell you this. If he leaves AFTER both him and his wife said on several occasions this was their last stop then they're going to have to conjure up one helluva reason they changed their minds so quick.

if they go, i think that would be a pretty good indication that they don't really care what anyone outside their house thinks.

So now it's gone from he's not going anywhere, they have agreed in principle etc to there is a real chance all of this is just a smokescreen for him to bolt to Texas?

This thread has become quite troubling.

Maybe I missed it - where in this thread has someone posted a rumor other than the report that CNS has agreed to a contract extension (which there are links to back)?

Thanks in advance.

Earle noted his lack of confidence as to if this thing gets signed, implying that the door on CNS staying here is not entirely closed one way or another.

I get that, but I'd hardly call that a rumor.

Everyone settle down....He is not bigger than Alabama Football.

Oh well, I guess that settles it.

CNS can't go to Texas. Gus malzahn is the new Longhorns coach. UT will be announcing after the BCSCG.

At the very least post #42 is a rumor starter at least on this forum. Remaining is the fact the Saban to Texas thread was stopped days ago...and here we go again. My 2-cents.

Hehe, kinda like saying, "Don't worry about starving to death in the Amazon, you'll be eaten long before that". Alabama will absolutely win titles after Saban leaves, whenever that is, but chances are there will be a drought and nobody wants a drought.

BamaMoon · Dec 8, 2013

If CNS is thinking about leaving it has more to do with what's happening on the field.

I think if he leaves it can be traced back to an untimely death that happened earlier this year. JMHO.

All you need to understand is this: Earl is close to God on TideFans. You are not. He has more leeway. Not only that, we who have been here beyond 4 months appreciate his comments, for better or worse.

Is Coach Saban still out recruiting?

What he said is why I'm CONCERNED! If Jess said it, I'd also be CONCERNED!

Isn't he in NYC? Are there any recruits there other than the UTw AD?

Thank you for helping make my point. I would love for Earl to explain his decline in confidence that Saban and Alabama will reach a contractual agreement. I would love to know. BTW - 4-months on this board equals 47 years of loving the Crimson Tide.

No. He's in Tuscaloosa. The team's banquet is being held right now as we speak.

Now, I feel much better, I think.
