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

I think it bothers you when ANYONE dares to say that Saban could want to leave Bama. No, I was not one of the guys on here beating the drum for him to come back. I made a few light hearted comments about it being worth taking him back just to see the Bama meltdown and witness the implosion of Alabama football.

I think Saban felt he could go to Alabama and see immediate improvement based on Shula's success and Sabans belief that he could coach up those players. I think he saw a lot of talent and never thought things would be this hard. He started off his career there by being mugged by drunk rednecks at the airport and soon found out how even a coach with "total control" can be micromanaged by booster groups. He openly complained about having to attend golf tournaments and such things that LSU never made him do. I think the situation has gone downhill from that point and the book scandal is only the tip of the iceburg as it relates to violations going on behind the scenes. There has been a lot of smoke concerning grade changing and Red Elephants "helping" the program to get recruits. I think he will be gone to the first opening at a school that has potential and is a clean program. WVU might not be the one but a Penn State opening might. Bama fans are going to have to deal with this stuff every year until Saban leaves. The sad thing (for Bama) is that it will get MUCH worse if Bama has a good year next year.
