So why don't we pass the hat around and get in this bidding war for Saban? I am tired of playing second, or third, or fourth, or whateverth to the Alabamas and Texas of the world.
One thing is for certain. We are about to see some staggering coaching $$$
So who gets the Bama job when Saban leaves? That's the real question. Can I go ahead and start the Mark Richt to Alabama rumors?
Smart/Strong. Though my current favorite rumor to make Bama fans mad is Dabo.
I think Richt is a better fit for Texas, but I'll gladly jump on any rumor of Richt going anywhere.
Alabama breaks the bank OR Saban leaves them for Texas. WIN-WIN.
I could see Alabama trying to take the high road after Saban leaves, holding a press conference and saying they are not a business and the university comes first at Alabama, which would be laughable.
The system is broken when Saban is going to be pushing $10 million/year yet people think the players getting 3 years towards an SEC Communications degree is fair compensation for doing the work on the field.
if you're an Alabama booster, you'd probably demand someone who is white.

Chip Brown said today that the deal Texas would put on the table would be no more than 7 million per year.
