Does Haslam go after Saban?

Just a thought that crossed my mind...

Does Jimmy Haslam throw some money at Saban and take him out of the SEC? I know he left the Dolphins, but from what I understood, they didn't give him the amount of control he wanted.

I don't know, wishful thinking I guess...thoughts?

I guess because he is owner of the Browns now, uahvol wants Haslem to try to steal Saban away from Bama. I don't think it will ever happen.

If he wants to ruin his billion dollar investment to help out his alma mater, then yeah.


....sure.

Why would he?

Followed up by why would Saban want to?

He's not really going to get that degree of (creative/managerial) control (the kind he wants like he has had in college football) in the NFL...really anywhere (not so much due to what he did but just as a result of how the NFL coaching and front office system is more or less set up).




(Props though for realizing the issue he had was having less overall control/power than he did in college)
