    Did anyone catch that??? A freudian slip?? Was it demeaning to him to say he could coach at Bama? :hihi:


    I used to enjoy watching him when he was pissed at media questions. :grin:

    The main difference I see between now and when Saban left LSU is that in this article, he says he's not interested in another job, but it is issued after he met with Huizenga. That meeting showed the interest was there, as did his interview with the Bears the prior year.

    Now, to our knowledge, he has not had a meeting with Bama. But when he says he will not be he coach at Bama, he could change his mind.

    I started not putting higher than a 1% chance Saban would go to Bama, and when Bama paused and the news stopped but the Saban rumors crested, I upped it to 20% chance Saban would go to Bama, and now I'll reduce my odds to 10% chance. But, there's always "coach speak".

    I would put it at a zero percent chance. Always have.

    Just left a tider forum, and they will NOT put this one to rest. It's really sad to watch...NAH! It's hilarious! About 60% of them still have "no doubt" that NS is gonna be their HC.

    Certainly, everyone's 'sources' know better than Saban does about this situation. Don't believe a word of it unless it comes from an unnamed, but reliable source.

    Can't believe anything until you get a mug shot behind a podium at a pc.

    Bama could always hire Lee Corso or maybe Jim Mora.
    He wouldn't have far to move and it doesn't sound like he will be with the Falcons that much longer.
    Nobody wants the Bama coaching position and can you blame them?:nope:
