They must think Bill Belichick is too old. Surprised Sean Peyton and Jim Harbaugh aren't on the list.

You'll find him down at the bank, rolling around in the vault like Scrooge McDuck.

Only way it could have worked out better for him is if he could have somehow wrangled Texas and USC into a fake bidding war for Saban, before negotiating his big raise to stay at Alabama. Probably doesn't know enough people out in California though.

I may get bashed for this but....

Could you imagine one of Saban's defenses in the Big12?? They could probably pitch a shutout for a whole year if they tried.. Good gracious it just wouldn't be fair...

“We’ve got to get him fixed,” Gonzalez said. “Here’s a guy that in his first five seasons did something that no other second baseman had ever done (Uggla hit 154 home runs in his first five seasons). And this year when he hit (.179) he still hit 20 home runs and walked a bunch. So it’s still there. He’s a guy that Walk and Fletch, we’re going to have to get him straightened out.

“But the first contact has to be by me, work that relationship and get that straightened out.”

Gonzalez will meet with Uggla to hash things out. They haven’t talked since Uggla reacted angrily over being left off the playoff roster in October. Gonzalez thinks the relationship they had since their years together with the Marlins can be repaired.

“He’s a competitor, and I think he’ll be fine,” Gonzalez said. “He just got married last weekend, and he’s on his honeymoon, so I’m going to leave him alone for seven, eight, 10 days. Whether it’s the beginning of the year or after Christmas, we’ll make contact with him. And sit him down and talk to him and try to fix him.”

Uggla needs to quit being a little b*tch. He has sucked something fierce, he put up one of the worst statistical seasons ever by a second baseman. Now he wants to act all offended and butthurt that he wasn't on the postseason roster. News flash, if you want to be on the PS roster don't put yourself in a position to make the case debatable.

And he still had a higher OBP than a guy traded for not one but TWO starting pitchers yesterday.
