Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
I get a strong feeling that they're going to last as long as Saban as at the helm, and he don't look like he's fixin to retire anytime soon...

Retire, no. But the new billionaire ownership of the Browns may offer to make him the richest man in football two times over.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Hmmmm....Saban makes $6million a year in Tuscaloosa. Would $10million be enough to move to Cleveland? What could be do with $10million in C-Land that he couldn't do with $6mil in T-Town?
I don't think he'll leave anytime soon. That's as wishful thinking as Chuckie to KnoxVegas.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
If he were being offered that kind of money to go to another university, I'd be much more worried than I am over ANYTHING related to "Saban to the NFL". But if he were to leave, I'd help him pack and wish him a heartfelt Thank You. What he's done at UA hasn't been done since Bryant, and not just football. There are many reasons he'sbluetick wrote:Retire, no. But the new billionaire ownership of the Browns may offer to make him the richest man in football two times over.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Texas is the only program that could theoretically outbid the REC for Saban's services. I could see Jerry Jones going after Saban too, but there is NO WAY that Saban would agree to become Jones's latest catamite.
Bottom line, I don't see Saban going anywhere anytime soon.

Nick will never go back to the NFL. His style doesn't work in the pros. Never will.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
I disagree with Rat. Saban's style would work at any level given time.

No. He's much better at coaching kids than coaching 53 separate corporations.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Saban's style didn't work very well at Miami. He was one of several great college coaches who tried their hand at the pro's and failed: John Robinson, Steve Spurrier, Barry Switzer and Butch Davis come to mind.Saban's style would work at any level given time.
The only one who I can think of that made the jump successfully was Jimmy Johnson. The jury is still out on Pete Carroll.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Saban was there for just two years. It takes time to change a culture. He took over a team that won 4 games in 2004 and went 9-7 and finished 2nd in the AFC-E. Year two Culpepper tore his knee and the Phins had to use Harrington and later Cleo-fucking-Lemon as QB on the way to 6-10 or 15-17 over his two years. Which isn't nearly as bad as people remember.
Given another couple of years, I have no doubt he would win.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Gotta love any post that uses "catamite"...
"What could be do with $10million in C-Land that he couldn't do with $6mil in T-Town?"
I was going to sass T-Town by saying "Stuff in C-Land" as if Cleveland was obviously a step up from Tuscaloosa. But then I remember that it's Cleveland. Or, as we used to call it, Clevesass...

Tuscaloosa readily lends itself to sassful transmogrification: Sasscaloosa. Tuscasassla. Tuscaloosass....

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
A lot of that had to do with Miami's roster being filled with piss ant whiners with a sense of entitlement. Which describes about half the league teams today. I give the Miami fans hell at work. The more delusional one are convinced if SABAN had chosen Brees instead of Culpepper they'd be winning championships left and right.Professor Tiger wrote:Saban's style didn't work very well at Miami.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Saban can't control NFL players like he can in college. That's 75% of the difference between the 2.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Correct. A college coach can scream at his players and cow 99% of them into submission. But do that to a pro player - especially a really good one - and he'll get all Latrell Sprewell on your Carlesimo ass.
