My thoughts were similar, with the exception of that I would add that Saban is right where he should be. Following in Miles' footsteps.opcorn:
I don't recall Saban doing a lot of PR stuff and though I'm not 100% positive on this one I'd still venture to say Saban didn't come all the way down to NOLA without sumpin up his sleeve. May be "running into" a prospect....I could be wrong, on the surface I definitely was so I'll take my medicine and not try to wiggle out with speculation.
which would be classic saban. the endlesss speculation has to do with motive. it appears that clm wants to lift spirits and that somehow, nick's visit has that "carpetbagger" feel to it.
