re: The interesting think about Saban to WVU rumors....

Yeah, a super high stress job has to be appealing to a man of Saban's age. Someone who does not really need the money has to be chomping at the bit to start another stressful season at Bama. The problem is that the stress level just gets higher even if Saban does win a NC there. At that point it is expected that the coach assumes the Bear Bryant level and that cannot be done at Alabama without cheating. It's a lose/lose for any coach that goes to Alabama and Saban has to realize that. He looks constipated every time he is interviewed. He has aged at least 10 yrs since he left LSU and just does not look like the same person (mentally). He looked a little out of control late in the season and made a few coaching moves that were just out of character. He is not coaching like he's happy.

he actually looked a lot better the other day after his recent press conference. I think he is glad to have this season over and behind him. The BAMA job is very high stress and I think it is probably the biggest challenge he has ever personally faced as a head coach. I guess we are just going to have to wait and see if he can handle the pressure or if he will cave like many have before him. Gene Stallings is the only man yet that has not caved in to the pressure of that job. I hope he will stay and I think he can turn it around if they leave him alone and I think they will because the higher ups know that if he leaves it will bury the program.

I can now see why you are an ICON on this site despite being a true Bammer Scoop, and I humbly submit that if it weren't for the likes of you this would be a poorer site. Even when I disagree with you, your gumption and loyalty tend to win me over and even the scales for the hundred other Bammers talking shite. You're a one-man positive p.r. machine for the Bammer Nation and I always look forward to your rational posts. People like you ensure following college athletics continues to blow away the pro's... good luck to you, especially when St Nick pulls the wool brother!!!
