I doubt it. They'd probably leave him hanging until the last second, so he'd be a last resort back up plan. I doubt Alleva would be that honest and straightforward. He's a politician at heart.
I'm still convinced it was toss dive. Etling looked to the left like Guice was going to be there and then just dropped the ball off in the air. Guice also stopped after he realized he went the wrong direction. It was only fitting the final play was another miscue.
He definitely ran the wrong direction, otherwise why would the fullback block the left edge. No way both the fb and qb were both wrong.
Not the point. Saban always sees room for improvement, the process if you will, and he also wants stronger ties into LA, coach O provides those ties.
I thought the maybe the play was to fake to the fullback going the opposite direction and then come back the other way. I haven't had a chance to see it on replay yet, so I could be totally wrong...
The point is that he shut out LSU with ZERO points. So why would he replace the D-Line coach he has. Your view is too myopic. Saban ain't worried about Ed Orgeron. He has bigger fish to fry.
