    Looks to be coming to an end! Bama fans, who would you prefer?

    I think Saban would handle the pressure better, but I think Rodriguez is a better Xs and Os type. Should get interesting in the next few days...

    from all the actual credible reports i've heard i think RR will be named the head coach thursday or friday. i think it's a done deal and has been for a while now.

    You all act like Nick Satan is going to be better than Shula. I hate to tell you, but he isn't. Jimbo Fisher and Bo Pellini made him at LSU.

    I think it's Rich. I think that he's known for a while, they're just ironing out details.

    Well, word is a BoT had a face-to-face with Saban last night and pretty much told em to if he doesnt take it now, Bama will offer RR. Lots of sources say Saban IS interested, but basically couldnt/wouldnt make it official until they are eliminated from the playoffs. So with Rod wanting word in 72 hours from the Tuesday meeting....the Saban stuff has fallen off and now its all RR. Hopefully we'll have a PC tomorrow. They both look good in Crimson.

    From a recruiting standpoint, wouldn't you guys rather have Rich?

    If Rich comes, does that mean that bama will be running the offense that WVU is currently running? That would be funny lol.

    I'd rather have Saban. He'd definitely be the homerun. RR is more like a double. As far as recruiting, Saban would probably get Dabo Swinney back from Clemson, or at least that's what I've heard. Problem right now is that Saban has turned down the job.

    An offer has been made to RR...

    Rick Tricket will probably come with Rodriguez if he gets(takes) the job.Tricket recruited Pat White and Jamarcus Russell!I think he will recruit even better with an Alabama logo on his polo shirt.

    Being from south Florida, I will tell you that Saban isn't going anywhere. His job is secure for at least another 2 years with the Dolphins. Huizenga is happy with him.

    Saban had all he wanted and/or needed at LSU. If he would have wanted to stay a college coach he would have stayed there.

    Don't act like Pat White was a major coup or anything. To call him a surprise would be a huge understatement, WVU just got lucky.

    Doesn't that say even more for recruiting capabilities of Rodriguez and his staff.Tricket was at LSU when Russell was a TOP prospect that lived here in Mobile AL and pulled him out.That being said at the time Alabama had even more issues than now(probation).

    It would be interesting seeing JP Wilson run the spread option

    I don't know if any of you guys listen to ESPN radio, but Colin Cowherd has talked all week about how Alabama fans have an unrealistic and inflated opinion of the prestige of their program. I think he's right. Nick Saban would be a complete MORON to take that job. First, he'd have to take a pay cut, and go back to trying to recruit 17 year old kids, and have to put up with the ridiculous expectations of a fan base who thinks it's still 1978. Hate to burst your bubble, but Alabama is at best the 3rd best program in their own conference. I'm in the same boat as an Indiana U basketball fan, so I know how Bama football fans feel. The bottom line is, Bama last won a national title in 1992, when the current crop of high school juniors being recruited were 2 or 3 years old. The name Bear Bryant means little or nothing to them. It's sad, and it sucks for Bama fans, but it's the truth. Anyone care to back me up on this?

    y do ppl keep saying this? this is a dumb statement. why wouldnt alabama want to try to hire the best coach? Most Bama fans i know understand that we arent where we used to be. You're confusing that with tradition. to say we dont have tradition is another dumb statement.

    Put it this way, Mike Dubose had a 10 win season and a SEC Championship. Mike Shula had a 10 win, Fraudcione had a 10 win. You can be a complete baffoon and win at Alabama. Just like Oklahoma, USC, Notre Dame, Michigan...these programs have all been down at times, but they always rise up because of tradition. Your right about the age of recruits since the last NC, but you'd be suprised how many are aware of the tradition and love it. We have some of the nicest facilities in the country and now we are hiring a proven coach to go with them.

    The SEC is a tough a$s conference..period...RR or no RR, but we will compete for SEC and NC championships year in and year out with a solid hire.

    He expressed interest to Bama, I still believe if we would have waited for his answer until the 12/31 (end of NFL season). He would have accepted. Hes not happy in Miami and I believe he will head back to college after next year when his contract is up.

    If you look back at his record at Michigan St - LSU - Dolphins, hes a good leader and great defensive mind, but his records have never been that great. He had one 1 loss season that he got a NC out of...but other than that, not so impressive (Possibly b/c he never stays very long). I'd rather have RR.
