I know everyone is stressing out about Saban to the NFL. I wont lie I am stressed to... However ESPN and everyone was reporting Saban to the Falcons, He is interviewing with the Falcons and Bears. Well that proves how accurate their reporting is (Since the falcons hired No Mora excuses Jr...) My point. Saban lets his agent handle everything. Saban is out recruiting right now. I am sure he told his agent get as much as you can but I am staying at LSU. SO his Agent who get paid on Amount of contract, is very possibly using this to get more from LSU for his client. I dont have a problem with it. I love my company and have done the same thing... Personally I think Saban is not going anywhere and his agent is using the Bears Falcons thing to get more money out of LSU (Hence LSU has raised its offer). The Falcons said Look we need a decision. So Sexton said. Yeh thanks for he Help but Saban is not going anywhere.. So they jumped on No Mora Excuses Jr.... I dont maybe thats a pipe dream, but from having ESPN report he is interviewing with the Falcons next week to them hiring a coach 4 hours later tells me A. ESPN are morons B. Saban is not going anywhere but is using this hype to get a monster contract C. The Bears about to get dissapointed. D. I could be wrong he said he wants the Bears job Personally Pay Saban, he has brought more then 3 mill a year in revenue to the state and school. Trust me on this.. Look at LSU clothing sales, Ticket sales and National attention. Geaux TIgers
Who's stressed? Saban will be with us for years to come. He is wanting to sign the new contract as soon as possible so we don't lose any recruits. He wants they to see he will be with them throughout their playing days with LSU.
ESPN stands for the Entertainment and Sports Network. They are not the news. They are show biz. And they are good at what they do. They get your attention and you see their advertisers. They have no pretentions towards objective news and jouranlism. Show biz, amigos.
Here is another thought. Far Fetched? Maybe! Other coaches use or try to use this situation to their recruiting advantage over LSU. Nick tells a recruit I'm not going anywhere soon, I'm happy at LSU. All the talking heads are bumping their gums about Nick to the NFL, Nick stays and the next class remembers the jargon, from this year, therefore no advantage to the other schools.
Saban won't leave this year BUT I do believe Jimbo Fisher will not go anywhere because he is successor to the throne. Fisher gettting a job somewhere else means Saban will be around awhile. Just my opinion.
espn says he is leaving ever year.. two years ago it was the colts he was going to,, last year the lions i believe
Saban is not averse to interviews. Telling people you won't even hear what they have to say would be considered rude and even though I don't think he's going anywhere this year, he'll go eventually. He's just making sure to not burn bridges for when the time comes.
