Re: Saban
[ QUOTE ]
I go back to what I stated earlier and what Capone0's post on recruiting brought out....the SEC has too many teams trying to be competitive. The Pac10 has had SC and UCLA, with a few intermissions of Oregon and Washington in the recent past. Big10 is Ohio State and Michigan. Wisconsin has made a good run and Penn State shows up every now and then. BigXII North is Nebraska...with Colorado showing up now and then BigXII South is Texas and Oklahoma. ACC has been no one until Florida St and then Miami through expansion. V Tech, and to a much lesser extent, G Tech makes noise. Big East is too young to see where it will fall out. Syracuse was a power for decades and West Virginia has had some good teams. Louisville is strong of late. (This is one reason I like Rutgers job...there is a power vacuum in both conference power and NJ recruiting). The SEC simply has more than 2-3 stable teams that believe they can win the title, and for good reason. Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Florida, and Auburn all have had undefeated seasons and/or national titles in my lifetime along with 5 year+ stretches of 9+ wins. There isn't a team that is synomonous with SEC football. There are teams. Bama is caught up in the 70s. Their fans haven't readjusted like the Ole Miss fans adjusted to life after Archie Manning's time. It's funny. It's a disease down in the South. I used to laugh at LSU fans devotion and belief that they were a power program before Saban. They had decent teams and memories of Billy Cannon, but were not a figure nationally for quite some time. The SEC is just too stocked. This is partly the reason I've always thought Penn State's move to the Big10 was a poor decision. Like it or not, it's still Michigan's and Ohio State's conference. Bama does provide the opportunity, but it is a tough field to plow. Saban did it at LSU, so I can see where he thinks he can do it again. The South is stacked with HS talent, but there are only so many programs it can support. [/ QUOTE ] Great post and thanks for the link.

I don't like the way he left but I think no matter what in life you should do what is best for you family and your own personal happiness. also ex. Rich ROD (did what was right-staying in WV was best for his family and WVU)

Re: Saban
He pretty much has to leave now that he's as much as admitted he's been lying to everyone all along. I know they always lie in this situation, but that's always followed by the coach leaving. I just can't imagine him staying, especially now that it's out there that his wife doesn't like Couth Florida.

is there a link to the video of his press conference? [/ QUOTE ] I was just trying to pull up 790theticket.com (the radio station that carries all the Dolphins games), but it seems to be overloaded.
