Saban's agent contacts WVU

Bailing on Alabama already, I see.

Crimson Tide fans should not be surprised. You hired someone who was willing to bail from another team in the first place.

Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Wow. Lmaaaaaaaooo.

Alright, see ... now that's just mean.

No way this happens, no way.

If he does happen to leave how can any recruit believe or trust him to still be there by the time he is a senior, I think he would struggle mightly if in recruiting if he were to leave Alabama.

loool wow saban just cant make up his mind

I would absolutely LOVE to see this happen. It would tank both programs, not that WV deserves it. But I would love to see the looks on all of those Bama boosters' faces if and when Saban left town.

You guys did hear the story about him at a recent booster's meeting right? Some tipsy Bama booster tried to talk to Nick and good ol' Saban flat out said he didn't want to talk to these a-holes and didn't want to be there (at the event). Things don't seem to be working out too well for Nicky these days.

It sounds very unlikely but I was wrong about Saban before.Who knows.The pressure to win the SEC and beat Auburn would be off of him and he would be in his home state where he and his dominating wife could be more comfortable.

Yea and people want to bring him back to miami

You know why I love this?

Because it's true. And there ain't a damn thing Bama can do about it because his entire contract is guaranteed! They can't fire him!

So unless the Bama boosters are fine with coughing up the $28 million they still owe him, they're stuck with him!

This in a nutshell is a big problem in todays football programs. Contracts are relativly meaningless and everyone is suseptable to being out spent. Everyone should be forced to honor the contracts they sign.

It's up to the employer to put language in the contract shielding them from such issues.

You can't stop a guy from quitting. But you can make it damn hard for him to gain employment elsewhere.

Hey, it is what it is. And Saban is who he is. So this is on Alabama. It's their fault for (flagrantly) poaching him and guaranteeing the entire $32 million contract. And it's their fault for not getting a pre-nup prior to marrying a confirmed flake and sometime whore.

They had to have the dog. Now they're getting the fleas.

If there is one lesson that should be learned in modern sports, it is that if a Coach or player will crap on someone's forehead once, they will do it again and again and again.

Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me...

I love this quote!! :yes:

That's funny.I just don't see it happening "yet".

As a very big WVU fan, and a native West Virginian, from Bridgeport, which is quite near Fairmont where Saban is from...

I have some mixed feelings. Obviously I am skittish about Saban. I honestly think this is bunk....but if he did want to come home...I kinda think this would be his last coaching stop. Why? Well...he has kinda burnt his bridge everywhere else. This would be the one and only place...anyone could somehow explain the decision to move.

In the end...I would have to be happy to get Saban.

Yeh but how long would he stay until the next good deal came along or the going got too rough? OT: I'm from Clarksburg.

DO YOU GUYS ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS???

THIS IS A JOKE!!!!!

no big name coach would ever go to WVU. there are like 12 high schools in the entire state. no chance of winning a national title.

Actually.....the answer to that question is an unknown...

But...like I said...if I had to bet, Id think if he made this move...given his WVU ties...hed stay.

I love WVU...but its not Alabama or Michagin. I can see a coach leaving WVU to step up....but if one moved down...where else is there to go? The Bridgeport Indians?

Like I said...I dont put alot of water into this theory...but if he did choose WVU, I think it would be for the long haul.

jesus i cant believe you guys are believing this!

saban is about to get a top-5 recruiting class, and hes making $3mil per year

you actually believe he would go to a team that cant recruit in the top-20, and make $1mil a year?????

Hey do me a favor...:cursing::cursing::cursing:

WVU has played for two national championships....was 1 game away this year. We have won or shared the Big East Championship a number of times.

So stowe your Anti WV rhetoric. It isnt the bohunk little state you make us out to be. West Virginians are VERY proud that team..and the state. Even the ones that have moved away have strong ties there.

Please keep your comments on the post, not the poster.

Go back and do some research about WVU and its state. Seee how much Rich Rod made....also...you might want to check out where Terrell Pryor has been looking. Although, you probably have no idea who Terrell Pryor even is. Or Noel Devine....
