You're right, the rest of the nation doesn't laugh at your 47 national championships claiming, tree poisoning, idol worshipping of a old drunk coach fanbase. I wouldn't be surprised if Saban doesn't either, you guys just handed a bunch of money to him, so he is putting up with it. There is nothing special about your university or football program to anybody outside the redneck trash that treat it like a religion.

But have fun with your arrogance based fantasy of being great at all things football and revered by everybody in the universe.

What? Dooley's a complete non sequitur. We haven't had the kind of success that might lead a coach to even think about getting restless in over a decade.

But I thought all coaches get restless and want to move on to the next big thing? If so, why did guys stand pat at Boise St, TCU, and Air Force when the Tennessee job came open?

My friend, we are great at all things football; it's not a fantasy. Have you been in a coma since 2007?

Hell never leave MSU. Hell never leave the Dolphins. Hell never leave Bama. I see a pattern forming.

Congrats at your 5 year run. Now go grab your lube and continue fapping to your Saban and Updyke pictures.

I get it, you're in middle school. And here I was expecting something more than genital-related attempts at humor.

Because at the time, the Tennessee job had a probation-level roster, possible NCAA sanctions hanging overhead, and several years of brutal schedules coming up. Why would a coach with serious ambitions risk his career on a mess like that? We had to get a guy with no real future to lose, and we did.

How much do you actually think Jones is going to spend on a coach? Particularly a coach with a losing record?

As much as he wants his brand is HUGE so whoever he thinks the best coach out there for the job is he will go get

If it's only about money, no one is going to outspend Alabama. We'd throw 10 million at him if that's what it took.

You are the second Bama fan that I have heard say this. Why would you think that Bama would throw 10 million at Saban? I know what he has done there for the school, but no one has ever thrown that much at a college coach. I know that Bama has a large reserve. I just don't see UA throwing that much at Saban to keep him. That's just my thought and my opinion. Saban just has a record of leaving no matter the situation.

No one had every spent 4 million on a college coach before we did on Saban. No one had spent 5 mill when we did. Our coffers are full, and Saban is the reason. We could double his salary and no one would think twice, because we're rolling in it.

To your point about him leaving: every single move he ever made (with the exception of Dolphins to Bama) was upward. He was always bettering his situation. And he left the Dolphins because he wasn't cut out for the NFL; as with most coaches, he's good at one and not the other. There is no upward step now. I suppose he could move laterally, but what would be the point?

Did he leave the Dolphins because he wasn't cut out for it, or did he leave the Dolphins because he took over a team that had been constructed around Ricky Williams, but Ricky Williams decided to go spend his life smoking dope in a grass hut instead?

The NFL is an upward step. It is THE upward step. Saban clearly harbors NFL ambitions, since he left just as good a college situation in LSU once already. And then he got there and the team was sort of a trainwreck with players he hadn't picked, and he fled back to the safety of college. Is he self-aware enough to say to himself, "No, I tried it at the highest level, but I wasn't cut out for it"? Or does it annoy him that he didn't make it, maybe blaming the situation he was in and did't control? Does it eat at him that he didn't make it at the highest level of his profession?

I don't know; you don't know; Mrs Saban may not even know. But you're kidding yourself if you just assume he's going to spend the rest of the useful part of his life squatting in Alabama doing the same thing over and over again. You don't get to be Nick Saban in the first place by being satisfied with a comfortable situation.
