However, If any of them started classes today, they couldn't enroll here or anywhere until after Spring Yep, so Im not getting excited about this as it pertains to Auburn short term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that’s not true, but as meticulous as Saban is, it wouldn’t surprise me if the coach to replace him has already been decided. I got this from a friend of mine who is a huge bama fan. I hope it’s not true: My son told me his coach who has connections down there, told him before it was announced. He says Ms Terry has been diagnosed with dementia. That’s why. She only has a few really quality years left. Now I’m not sure that’s true but that’s what his coach told him. Who cares? We have to worry about Auburn. We had the 7th ranked class.

The landscape is now much more complicated and he doesn’t have the “control” over players anymore. THIS times a million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleEye67 1,940 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) For all the grief we will give him (nothing wrong with that), it is the end of an era. Cannot deny his amazing accomplishments ... will never be equaled, in my opinion. Personal story: I was with my eldest daughter in early 2007, touring prospective colleges for her to attend after high school. We were at Alabama (year yeah, they had a major she liked), and to save a few $$$, we stayed in one of those football-party condos next to Bryant-Denny that are cheap in the offseason. Of course, it was all decked out in the usual Bammer stuff and coach pics .... at that time, Mike Shula. I remember distinctly several prints/paintings of Shula on the walls, along with the 14-7 Penn State goal-line stand crap, etc. Anyway, we go out to visit, interview ,etc. Suddenly, we start seeing banners, signs, etc .... hanging in various places. "Saban" this and that. Like the old "Got Milk?" ads, a lot said "Got Saban?" . OK, they hired the guy from the Dolphins. Didnt think a lot about it, went on about our biz. When we got back to the room, the cleaning crew had clearly been there. As Saban had apparently been hired about, oh, 4 hours earlier ..... they had come into the room and removed every possible evidence that Mike Shula had ever been the coach. Every wall picture, coaster, PR pic on the counter, painting .... he was GONE. Like Beria in 1953. He never existed. Darndest thing I ever saw. ....and no, my daughter did NOT attend Gump U. Too smart for that. Edited January 10 by EagleEye67 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t demand anyone read my post and respond to it. It’s a message board, this topic is about Saban retiring, and I made a post about what I had heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they do get Lanning who has shown a penchant of making questionable calls in big games, it will be hard to live up to the hype of Saban. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
