    IMO Saban will announce retirement before his last season and he will probably hand pick his predecessor. Coaches (or players) of that magnitude go on farewell tours. 

    Who knows you could be right, but I could see him taking his Natty and his new Ferrari and heading to Jupiter to play golf with Tiger.  Go out on top.  If I had a mansion on Jupiter Island and a bunch of money, spending one more day in Tuscaloosa would suck.

  2. I remember not being able to sleep the entire night after the FSU natty loss. But the next day I thought, damn we have been in 2 title games in 3 years. The future is bright. Hard to believe that after that night we have pretty much sucked for a whole fricking decade.

    Bowden won, he didn't fit.

    Bro, I am not sure if you were around for the Terry era.  He won for the first 1.8 years with players he did not recruit.  People f'n loved him.  But in year 3 it because evident that he only won with players others recruited.  His offense was completely one-dimensional and he could not adapt.  Sound familiar?  If he had continued winning (and not banging boosters kin - allegedly), he would have 'fit' fine.

    I don't think so. "Fit" is extremely important and I don't see Sanders being a fit at Auburn. Look at Terry Bowden: His record of 47-17-1 is remarkable, yet he didn't last and the only real explanation why he didn't last was he didn't fit here.

    Bowden's next to last season at AU his team finished 10-3 and lost the SEC championship game by one point. The next year I was standing next to a guy who "knew things" at Tiger walk early in the season. I was told "If he doesn't win this game (Tennessee) he's gone". I don't think a coach with Bowden's record would have been shown the door if he was a good fit.

    Terry was a good game day coach who could not recruit.  Plus he was (allegedly) banging one of our biggest boosters daughter.  That is why he didn't "fit".

    The issue is ego and not with Deion. Deion is one of those characters where he has enough influence that he cannot easily be controlled. He is going to say what is on his mind and unapologetically. We aren’t ready for someone like that around here. 

    That's unfortunate.  The Turds used to feel the same way until little Nicky showed up.
