DKW 86 7,440 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 CNS to WVU? I`d rather go back to playing Waynesburg and VMI than have that dirtbag representing my alma mater. We just had one of those coaches leave. Saban is a first class A-hole R U out of your mind? Nicky is worse than Rod when it comes to loyalty....pathetic question.

WinCrimson 61 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Good luck to them in finding a coach. I would think it would be difficult, considering that state makes east Tennessee look like Beverly Hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger1992 999 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Do the WVU board's feelings towards RR come strictly from his move to UM, or has he been disliked up there for awhile? I don't follow WVU so I don't have a clue about their situation. Did RR pull any type of Sabtrino moves in his leaving WVU, or are they just pissed in general because he's an alum and they thought after the Bama situation last year that he wouldn't leave? Or are they just pissed because this is the second coach Michigan has taken from them in the past year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballFanatic 4 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 No clue on that one. Im confused by the Loyalty comment when he coached there for 7 years. Sooner or later he was going to take a dip in another pool. Coaches don't retire at a school very often. Unless its their last stop on a trail of coaching jobs.

Now, if I showed you a picture of my house and neighborhood, you would call me a snob. And it's servants quarters compared to Saban's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever heard the saying,"...you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." People think T-Town is a sub-par place because it looks like $h!t-h0le and it smells worse. Nothing worse than a small town with an industrial flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR-MATT 2 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 "Rut-Row Raggy" Link Nick Saban’s Agent Contacts WVUPosted on December 17, 2007 by Charley West Sources close to University President Mike Garrison have informed WBGV that Nick Saban’s agent has contacted WVU regarding our vacant head-coaching position. These sources tell us that Saban is extremely unhappy in Tuscaloosa and has failed to recapture the situation he had in Baton Rouge with LSU. The purpose of the agent’s call was to express initial interest in the position and to have WVU athletics put together a compensation package enough to lure Saban from Alabama. This package would not need to be as much as Saban is currently making at Alabama, but enough to not result in a 50% paycut. So, we’re obviously talking more than the $1.9 million former coach Rich Rodriguez was making. Again, this is all very preliminary, but solid sources have confirmed that Nick Saban’s agent has contacted West Virginia University. *** UPDATE #1 *** This report has been confirmed by the staff at WVSports.com. Unfortunately, it is posted on their premium board so that confirmation can not be reprinted here. Still, it has been confirmed. Stay tuned.

FootballFanatic 4 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 To be honest, I have been to Tuscaloosa before I had any real opinion either way on the ways of Auburn and Alabama football. Tuscaloosa is pretty run down. I had no idea it was a college town. It looked like every other low income back lot town I had driven through on the way somewhere else. Driving into Auburn is pleasant and scenic with a beautiful appearance from the edge of town to the school and from the school out. Tuscaloosa just left me feeling that it was a crappy town. Ill admit I didn't tour the whole city, but what I saw wasn't very nice looking. That was before my Auburn shaded glasses got put on. Now I just can't see why anyone would want to live in Tuscaloosa over Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are parts of Tuscaloosa that aren't as run down as some others (I'll have to take your word for it, I've never seen them). However, I'm sure there are parts of WV that are pretty nice, too. BTW, if you showed me a picture of your house and neighborhood, I'd call you an insecure prick for thinking that I'd be impressed by a picture of a big house ON AN INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD.

Now I just can't see why anyone would want to live in Tuscaloosa over Auburn. Ditto. I went to T-Town while looking at schools - before I had decided on Auburn (and honestly before I knew exactly where Auburn was) and was not impressed at all. It reminds me of Riverdale, Ga.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I haven't seen the list lately but Tuscalooser ussed to be a perrenial Top 10 in the highest crime rate in the country for cities it's size. It's just a big ghetto with a mental institution in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warjacket 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Untrue. How people think T-Town is a sub-par place is beyond me.... They have been to other places to compare to West Vance. Pretty easy to call Ttown sub-par, even in Alabama. Now, I have to admit, Ttown is probably the fourth nicest place in the state. . . . of Mississippi.

I've heard (no link - this was on the radio) that CRR and the PTB at WV didn't get along too well. For some reason, I think it was specifically the AD.

Just wondering, what part off this report is "confirmed"--only that Nick's agent contacted WVU (and isn't that Sexton who basically tosses his clients' names into every vacancy that ever develops?), or the part about Saban being "extremely unhappy" in Tuscaloosa?Also, if true, doesn't Saban realize that if he bails on uat after only one year following what he did to the Dolphins (also, to some degree, walking out on LSU after getting the most lucrative contract in college football following his BCS ring), his name will be mud and no one--not even people as delusional as Bammers--will ever trust him again?

Or are they just pissed because this is the second coach Michigan has taken from them in the past year? I would think it has something to do with the fact that RR was almost basically hired for the UAT job last year and pulled out at the last second when WVU raised the money to give him a new contract to keep him. Then he bolts the next year anyway. This ESPN article about how RR is trying to get out of his WVU buyout clause by suing the university, may explain whey their fans hate him: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3159677 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untrue. actually VERY TRUE How people think T-Town is a sub-par place is beyond me. We've actually been there, unlike 95% of your fan base. I actually have a cousin that attended uat and his family has lived in Northport for over 25 years. His son actually attends uat now. Been there many times. T-town is basically a cesspool, In appearance and smell... Now, if I showed you a picture of my house and neighborhood, you would call me a snob. And it's servants quarters compared to Saban's. well you are a lot of things here, so might as well add snob to the list. However, why would we call you a snob over showing a picture of your single wide with 3 stripped cars out front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
