Saban's is just interviewing, but I don't expect him to leave. If he does Rose Bowl '05 is a pipe dream.

Rose Bowl 05 isn't even a pipe dream. Now Rose Bowl '06, that's a different story.

And JoNaTHonrOy- could you at least edit the TiTLe of this ThREad so that we don't have to look at it while there is still the slightest glimmer of hope?

Is Saban's wife hot? If this is true I might have to give her a call since she will be rich from all that alimony of the rumored 4.1 Million Dollar Contract from the Dolphins. :lol:

We all knew this day would come. If he stays, I will be very happy. If he leaves, I am sure we will find another great coach. I just wish Emmert wouldn't have left. That could be some of the reason why Saban is really testing his worth this time.

I just don't want another hire within like the Mike Archer situation. We know what happened after that.

I was told $5 million by a local newsprint guy in Miami. He's there to leak the story. He said they are $100,000.00 apart, which I think is BS.

I'll wait until Saban says it is true.

I hate to tell you but the Motely Crue thing is supposedly true. I thought I heard something about that the other day. A friend of a friend of a friend of another friend said he spoke to Tommy Lee and confirmed this. :grin:

Yes, they are going to replace Saban when he goes out on tour in their place.

That was my beef with Jon, the way he titled this thread. If it's not fact, don't phrase it as so.

What would you like the man to say that wasn't already said in his press release earlier today?

He stated he interviewed for the job ... that is all he owes anyone at this point.

He'll let us know once he makes a decision...

He hasn't interview actually. He "discussed the coaching situation at the Dolphins". Apples and oranges?

I don't think it would be money. It will be about control. Total and complete control. That is why he has built what he has here so he can demand that on the next level. Maybe Skip can retire...

face it......he's gone......long gone.......see below:

But it's also possible that Saban will spend Friday interviewing for the Browns head coaching vacancy. Even though Miami owner Wayne Huizenga likely is ready to assume the position when the time comes to dole out cash and control to Saban, Saban's agent, Jimmy Sexton, knows a thing or two about leverage. If he can get two teams (or more) hot on Saban's trail, the potential price tag will only go up.Our bottom line for now is that Saban plans to meet with some NFL team on Friday. We'd previously assumed it was the Dolphins. It still might be. But with the Browns likewise absent a head coach and Saban having strong ties to the organization, don't be surprised if the next news release out of Baton Rouge indicates that Saban will be talking to the folks in Cleveland.
Since Saban's contract permits him to interview only with NFL teams before January 1, the only jobs for which he even could interview are jobs that become vacant before the end of the NFL regular season, which wraps up on January 2 -- unless an owner pulls a Jerry Jones/Bill Parcells secret rendezvous. With Vikings owner Red McCombs due to make a decision by New Year's Day on whether he'll pick up the option on his April Fool, it's possible that a team like the Vikes could also secretly enter the fray for Saban.
Of course, that scenario might be giving McCombs way too much credit. Why would he want to spend good money on a coach who actually knows what he's doing?

NFL rules state that at least one minority candidate must interview for each head coaching position that's open. That means that you're almost going to HAVE to interview a minority on a playoff contending team, and you can't interview them right now. If their still in-season, then it's against the rules.

Which basically means that no one can hire at this point...and that all they can do is talk, from the best of my knowledge, taking into account the NFL rules that I know.

I think this is all smoke and mirrors...Saban to the NFL rumors will be a part of our lives, fellas...We've got to worry about what we can control...and we can't control that.

On your first point, Maybe these teams can interview Ty Willingham to meet their quota, dumbest thing i've ever heard or known about.
Qualifications mean nothing according to that so you know for the most part only a formality.
