GBAU83 212 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Saban ain't leaving Bama to go to the pros. He tried that once and didn't like higher paid, more egotistical pricks than him where he couldn't control/threaten them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 1,984 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 I've added Missouri to the original list of vacancies, now that Pinkel has announced he will retire after this season. It's not clear how advanced his lymphoma is and the type of lymphoma has not been revealed. Treatments and 5 year survival rates for some forms of lymphoma are good, if it has been caught early enough. Best wishes for a positive outcome for coach Pinkel.

cooltigger21 0 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I for one think the Saban to the Colts rumors are total BS. First, he won't have the total control of the program like he has at Bama. He would have to answer to a GM, team president, and/or team owner, and Nick Saban likes to answer to one person and one person only: Nick Saban. Second, he is not going to have the mass idol worship like he does in Tuscaloosa. Like the article a couple of years stated---if Saban steps in a pile of dog doo, there will be a line of folks wanting to clean it off for him, most of whom would have glass jars to put it in to put on the mantle piece. Hell, those idiots would be literally beating the s*** out of each other for their share of it. Third, where else is he going to work that will actually give him a 2 million dollar raise after losing the last 2 ball games in the season (see 2013)? Fourth: Indianapolis. Really? You stop and think fir just a minute about having to put up with that insane fan base day after day. You have people asking you to autograph their infant child. If Texas had been able to keep their stuff straight a couple of years ago he'd be there now. Had the dolphins management been willing to pull the trigger on the deal for Drew Brees then he'd likely still be there. I don't think he wants to go back to the NFL now but it's not a lead pipe cinch that he finishes his career at Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegle777 78 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 True about Texas. They had saban when they hired this last guy. The AD torpedoed the hire. That is from a Texas alum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ber798297 241 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I was thinking the same thing... In both losses, he looked stunned and had that deer in headlights look on his face on the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgr4lfe 220 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I think its silly to think that Saban wouldn't want another shot in the NFL, one to prove he can and two as far as coaching goes, being an NFL HC is the pinnacle of the profession. Not to mention the fact he'd double his salary probably to $8 mil per year. I don't think it would be financial by any stretch, but purely professional as in why not get back to an NFL gig??

Strychnine 1,802 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Les Miles on the hot seat is even more absurd than Mark Richt. It's like if every head coach isn't posting Nick Saban numbers, he's gotta go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like if every head coach isn't posting Nick Saban numbers, he's gotta go. The post reads, "may be back on the hot seat soon,lol." So, you misread the post. If he loses 2 more and a bowl game he'd be 8-5 again and you're crazy if you don't think he'd be on the hot seat at that point. He has OM and atm left, so I don't expect him to drop both and they can win both, but who knows. LSU fans expect championships, nothing less. SEC at the minimum. He has a hotbed to recruit from. The expectations are very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expectations are very high. Les Miles at LSU: 3 SEC Championship Games, 2 SEC Championships. 2 BCS National Championship Games, 1 BCS National Championship (probably would have been two if they didn't have to play a rematch). 110-31 W/L. Seasonal records: 11-2 11-2 12-2 8-5 9-4 11-2 13-1 10-3 10-3 8-5 7-2 at present If LSU has a better coach in their history that has more championships than Les Miles, please tell me who. I say again, it's like if every coach isn't posting Nick Saban numbers, he's gotta go. It's absurd, and certainly not representative of what I hear from LSU fans.

sevenlee36 1,654 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Les doesn't have to be a good coach, he has elite talent. Better coaching would make LSU better though.( They have a ton of NFL talent on offense this year.) Especially offensive coaching improvement could work miracles. I don't think Kevin Steele is that good so the defense will be below the norm for them. I think LSU could be even better than what we've seen, just like Georgia could be.

I hear this stuff all the time...but who is the coach that is going to come in and do a better job? Like 'em or not, Les and Richt are among the elite of successful coaches in college football. I love it when a school decides that 9 or 10 wins is not enough...and goes coach hunting the first time they catch a coach with a bad season or two. If LSU and GA hotheads have their way, the rest of the SEC will be the beneficiaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I'd be happy at Auburn with 9 or 10 wins a year but the ceiling is very high for those schools and Saban gets the most out of his teams. Those coaches do good but it could always be better. Your right there's not always the perfect coach to replace them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
