None of this has anything to do with the thread title. "Saban turned down again, This time by Jeff Brohm". (I take it from your post that you're trying to defend Terry. I don't disagree with the things you commented on here, just that it isn't what I was challenging Terry on, and has nothing to do with this topic)

I was replying to some comments in Terry's post, obviously. Topics wander around here or haven't you noticed?

If you want my opinion on your challenge to Terry, I think you two have beaten the original topic to death already and both of you are making ridiculously unimportant points. If you want my opinion on the thread subject, I don't really give a rat's ass about why a coach declines a job or accepts it at Bama.

I just hope Nick never gets good safeties at Bama, we've all seen how bad his defenses can be without at least a good, smart safety along with a great one.

Kind of like in 2002 when we started the season 6-1 and then Damien James left and we finished off 2-4.

There is a difference, especially with position coaches, when it comes to an offer and discussing schemes.

If you think about it, it's about like an interview in the real world. IF the future employeer offers you the job, but you turn it down, that's a real offer. If you talk to the employeer, and he doesn't offer the job, it isn't a real offer. The first thing anyone would talk about is what you can offer. IF they don't like it, you don't get the offer.

Since Saban did talk to Brohm, it is pretty clear he had interest and was curious as to what the job would entail. If Saban didn't offer him the job, there was a break down at some point.

It's a fact that coaches in today's age of football will put their name "in the hat" in order to solidify their position at their current employeer. Perhaps this was Brohm's move.

I look at this logically. If Saban didn't offer the job officially, there wasn't an offer. It very well may have been a situation where Saban wanted to talk to him about the WR/ RB position coach...which were the only positions left...Brohm said he wanted the OC position, which was already filled.

I don't know the specifics of the conversation...haven't asked or done any research into it.

Offer? No. At some point interest from both parties? Evident.

Offer? Yes!! C'mon Terry it's not really a big deal. Everybody gets turned down sometime along the way. Why does it pain bammers so bad to simply admit they got turned down? I ask you again, do you really believe Fisher and Brohm are both lying? As Hannity says, just yes or no!!!

Fisher said no to Alabama simply because of his future head coaching potential at FSU. It's not like he said no so he could stay at LSU. :dis: It just seems to me that some folks here are grasping for anything they possibly can to make it appear that things are going bad for Saban. It's just simply not the case. He has an awesome staff now lined up, especially after getting Clemson's running backs coach today, who, btw, recruits well in LA.

Sure, if you believe what the media is reporting ..... but, as Terry so aptly pointed out, you can't always believe what's in the media, right?

The Alabama Board of Regents' decision to nix the UAB Head Coach offer cost Fisher an armored car load of semolians ...... and IMO, they were playing politics with Fisher's livelihood. That may represent the new definition of "bush league.,"

How can anybody question Fisher's seeming mistrust with the very same BoR that would be leading his future at the university of Alabama?

AWESOME STAFF? UH OKAY, If you think so, but compare it to Lsu and it sucks!

I thought the Clemson RB coach was getting grief from the fans because of the lack of production of the #1 RB recruit last year. I think his name is Spiller(sp?)

CJ Spiller was the freshman phenom that scorched Georgia Tech in the primetime, tipping-point game of the ACC season.

He's now rumored to be transferring to UF ...... coincidence?
