If we would offer saban 10 million with a 3 million assistant salary pool we would get a championship in 4 years. you can shoot me down and it is a crazy amount of money but hes a speacial coach.

Now back in reality I support Butch 100% and think we will do fine, and maby win the east, but goodness. Its not really about them beat ND that was expected. Its the 3 championships in 4 years that makes me think we will never beat bama with him coaching there without bama having a bad game.

$20 million and we could get Saban and Gruden. Come on now. Think big.
Or we can just wait for the Butchslapping to begin. I say go Butch.

Even if we offered him 10 million a year that we cannot afford - you can bet that Bama would match it somehow. Can you imagine being the AD who allowed Nick Saban to leave. Forget about your job, your life would be in mortal peril in the Tide state.

No, we cannot get Saban - what we need is for Butch Jones to BECOME Saban or at least at his level, though I would be pretty pleased if he just gets to Urban Meyer level - hell, I will be downright giddy if he gets to be a "back in the day" Phil Fulmer level. And I think if the recruiting can happen, Butch may yet lead us back into glory and out of the ignominy to which we have fallen.

What a stupid, pointless thread.Who cares? If I had $10,000,000 I'd set you up with some spelling lessons and a monkey that slapped you every time you had a notion to start another thread like this in the future.

Nick Saban would still have been a bargain for Alabama at $10 million a year. He's generated three times that per year in revenue. It's fairly surprising that nobody else has made him a Godfather offer yet. Gonna be interesting when Texas finally cans Mack Brown.

You guys telling the OP how stupid he is need to think about how we're paying Butch Frigging Jones over $3 million/year and we apparently offered Charlie Strong four. If a school is willing to pay that for those chumps then paying the greatest coach in modern history only 2-3 times as much is a no-brainer. Nick Saban is worth 20 times more than Butch Jones. At least.

He'd never make the jump from Bama to UT, since Bama would match anything, but offering him that much money would be futile rather than stupid.

I think it's more about timing, wording and spelling then the general idea of what Saban is worth.

I guess. All I know is that UT football is like a couple of Chicago tourists who thought that $25 was too much for a large pizza at a famous downtown pizzeria, so they went by a quickie mart and spent $15 on two Totino's Party Pizzas instead. You have to pay for quality.

After this past coaching search, my outlook for the future of the football program has hit an all time low. And that's not even a shot at Butch Jones, either.

I don't believe the "Gruden Was A Done Deal But Hart Screwed The Boosters" narrative -- Hart's use of Haslam's plane while flying around offering other coaches would seem to rule that out -- but even apart from that, it's hard to see the search as anything but a disaster.

No doubt. Our rivals have set the standard. So what do we do? Apparently we wait about ten days to get started, then we get rejected by a new coach every day until we find he first guy who says yes. Given the staff Jones has put together, it's really hard to feel good about the future.

If Jones works out? Great. If he doesn't work out? I'm afraid we'll be looking at a program with low expectations and insufficient financial support.

first rule you should ask yourself: does this need to be said? does this need to be said by me? and does this need to be said by me right now?

think before you post friends and no drunken internet

How dare you threaten to ruin our entertainment in the off-season.

I definitely think that if Jones turns out to be an 8-4 type coach, which I think is a pretty good bet, it'll be hard to fire him in four or five years because of the "at least we're playing in bowl games again!" factor. We're close to people thinking that just playing in a bowl game is good enough.
