Saban is a LIFER that means he will be the coach untile he retires. You guys just don't get it. Alabama is on the way up unlike some other SEC programs.

Just like he was a lifer at MSU, at LSU, with the Dolphins... oh yeah, Alabama is different. The only way he's fired in the next two seasons is if all this hype makes the actual improvement he makes in the team seem negligable, but there's always the chance that someone else will come a-callin' with a bigger payday. If and when that happens, I can't wait to see what Saban does (his history has already given me a pretty good idea what that would be). Sorry, Bama fans, nothing against your program, but your coach is a nomad, football's version of Larry Brown.

True Love overcomes every obstacle and Saban's true love for the game has met its match in Alabama. There are'nt any fans more passionate and supportive of their school.

Alabama has had 8 different coaches in 24yrs. If you do the math thats a new coach every 3 yrs. Keeping with the trend, I give saban at most 3yrs..

According to a study to be published on Friday, two of the world's
leading climatologists have gone on record saying that the extreme heat
in the Southeast is not a result of global warming. The two Swedish
experts have identified the source of the heat as being centralized in
the great state of Alabama. According to their findings, it is a
localized phenomenon that has occurred 9 times in the last 25 years.
Apparently, every time the University of Alabama hires a new football
coach the collective hot air espoused from the "Bama Nation" about
National and Conference championships and premature recruiting
"commitments" actually causes a significant increase in air temperatures
in the Southern US. The study went on to confirm that the natural
progression of the following events will cause the heat wave to subside
rather rapidly after the first of September.

Sorry all,
I couldn't resist this one

How about the pressure from the fans is causing global warming. They already call Saban Satan in national magazines. So I guess they think Alabama is Hell. That must really be upsetting to other teams when they get told go to hell. Seriously, how do other teams view coming into Tuscaloosa?

Well, okay, here goes.

1983-86 Ray Perkins 4 32-15-1 .677 - Left Bama to coach Tampa Bay, later served as Offensive Coordinator for Patriots and Raiders, last served as Arkansas State University in 1992.

Is that chum in the water? I thought so just because it is Crimson and is in the water doesn't mean it is safe. Sounds as if Simon has a nice hook to contend with. See Cliff if you are just patient enough they will take the bait every time.
