just wondering with all this madness, is there a press conference scheduled???

I doubt it, looks like this could go on for a few more days
The article says Saban has had his eye on this job for 1 year.
I've also read that NS wants to make the decision before the teams travel day to Orlando which I think is Saturday.
Sorry but I have to point out NS released a statement a while back that he
wasn't interested? Why would he say that? :dis:

Well WAFB stupidly reported there would be a PC within 12-18 hours (as of 6 PM yesterday), which means by 12 noon at the latest.

So I hope they have a PC just to announce that he hasn't made up his mind.

At least someone would have gotten 1 rumor right.

If you'll recall, the Dolphins expressed an interest in Saban back in August.

WBRZ reported at noon today that Skip said a press conference MAY happen later today.

Skip also said it was 50-50 on Saban staying....

I get the feeling Saban is going announce all this AFTER the Bowl game....

Just a hunch...

For what it's worth,

a few notes from the following article...

http://www.acadiananow.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041223/SPORTS/412230335/1006

"He's really struggling with this and trying to weigh it," said Charles Weems, the chairman of the LSU Board of Supervisors' athletic committee who was at Saban's home Wednesday night. "He's got it all out in front of him, everything involved with it."

"Maybe I want this result too much, but my gut tells me he's going to stay," Weems said. "He's been overwhelmed by the outpouring from - I don't even want to say LSU people - but from the people of Louisiana."

Saban has received thousands of e-mails, including those from an organized e-mail process set up by the Tiger Athletic Foundation to keep the five-year coach from Michigan State who inherited an LSU program that had lost in eight of the 11 years before him. The 53-year-old coach took LSU to the Southeastern Conference championship and a Bowl Championship Series bowl in his second year and to the national championship last year.

"This is a deal where we're not on a time constraint," Bertman said. "We're not losing recruits. He has told me he has a decision to make. Nick will have his decision to us before he leaves at Orlando at the latest. Call me back tomorrow."
