the west scheduling sets up so much better than the east....most big SEC West games are towards the end of the year, and make for more drama down the stretch...It seems every year that the SEC WEST isn't decided until the last weekend of the season and the East is usually decided by mid-late season..
Saban has indeed been offered head coaching positions in the NFL but graciously turned them down for now. When his son graduates from High School and his daughter graduates from Junior High School is when he will seriously consider an NFL job.
Re: Self-centered egotistical jerks in history You can add Bear Bryant Woody Hayes Chuck Noll Bobby Knight Red Auerbach Don Shula Bobby Bowden Dean Smith Phil Jackson Mike Krzychvsky (spelling) Joe Torre Casey Stengel Joe Gibbs (both Superbowl and Winston Cup titles) to that list
I'm sure Nick is going to lose sleep worrying why you don't hold him in high regard. If he hadn't spent that weekend with an NFL owner would his recruiting class have been even better than Number One?
Nick is the man for this program. I hope he's here for a long time. Don't knee jerk. I know everyone is hurt over the loss, but we can still have one of our best years ever. Don't lose faith Tiger fans. We could be in Austin and having to live with Mack Brown.
Even though I disagree on the pesonal traits of Saban I didnt mean to rile tiger fans up with my comments and I appologize. Just because I dont post doesnt mean Im some "mole" either. I just read the board and watch. I was upset with the performance and voiced it. We all wont ever agree 100% of the time. Game is over though and its on to the next one. The year isnt shot by any means.
