bigsixfive 328 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 How freakin funny is this? http://wbgv.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/nick-...t-contacts-wvu/ 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. *** UPDATE #2 *** Well, it’s not a stone-cold confirmation, but our friend Mike Casazza can’t verify that the story isn’t true. Pardon the double negative, but it looks like this baby certainly has legs. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUesquire 1 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I do chortle occasionally at the possibility. However, I'm not going to be a hypocrit because I harped on how ludicrous all the reports were of CTT to Nebraska, Arkansas, Texas A&M, LSU, Slippery Rock, Mt. Union.... All reports were from.."A source close to the situation." When and if hole is announced to WVU, I will not only chortle, but I feel a hearty guffaw would be warranted.

AUdad4kicks 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 That would be the funniest thing to happen to college football in this state for all time. Just think, CTT would be able to beat $aban next year going 5-2 against him lifetime at 3 different schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU alum 2 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 very funny, but no way i can imagine it being true. Thanks for the laugh anyways! Well, he was born in WV, and he was an assistant coach at WV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think, CTT would be able to beat $aban next year going 5-2 against him lifetime at 3 different schools. It would be even funnier if he left before the bowl game. This recruiting season would collapse, as would their hopes for a decent coach and record for next year. Well, I guess they could go get Petrino.

First let me state that I don't care who is coaching at uat, we sure have no reason to be "scared" of them, especially $aban. That being said I would give up Christmas presents forever if he would leave for WVU. There aren't enough rooms at Brice's if that were to happen.

Funny stuff. If Sabear were to leave SPUAT, the price of houndstooth products would sky rocket as demand would out stripe supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger12 46 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Saban IS NOT happy at UAT. I don't know why he would think the UWV job would be any better, but then again why did he think moving to T-Town was an improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUman43 5 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 There is no way this is going to happen now, but give it 2-3 years or less depending upon who they hire and how he does. It was good for a laugh anyway and probably shook up some paranoid bammers as well. If it did, they'd have to call out the national guard to protect Sabahr until he could cross the state line......

I've got a buddy in the NG that's a bama fan. I'm not saying he'd do anything, but one of his other buddies might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auwallace 6 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 according to bammar logic - saban is from W. VA. and he coached there, therefore he is a lock to be their headcoach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMoJo 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 THE BAMMMERHAM NEWS By Floyd the Barber Mayberry NC December 17, 2007 Nick Saban has resigned as head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide and has accepted the position of head coach of West Virginia. Saban has repeated and publicly voiced his concern about interference from toothless fans at Alabama along with his paranoia of the numerals 6 and 7. Saban will forego his multi-million contract at Alabama for compensation in 3 productive coal mines in West Virgina. Mal Moore is expected to contact Bobby Bowden in the coming days.
