Tifwiw but there is some real confidence from people very close to him that he will be a vol.
At seasons beginning this kid had 1000 reasons to be a Vol, and the coaching staff blew it. As long as we can show him "the love" and make him feel like a priority, he will be a VOL. We also have his last visit, which says a LOT. He could have scheduled Bammer as his last, or OSU.. but he gave it to UT. That says something IMO.
The thinking I heard is that as long as the visit is good he will be a Vol. Their thinking was as long as we don't screw it up he will be wearing orange and white. Who knows if they are right but they are very close to the kid.
Get real guys. Saban will be at Bama, just like Kelly decided to stay at Oregon. I get the lure of the NFL, but why? He's went that route once and failed miserably and looked like a dbag when he left Miami. I think he's learned from mistakes, and like his situation right now too much to leave.. that position being his boot up everyone in the SEC's arse.
He didn't fail miserably at Miami. He just picked the wrong QB to lead his team...should have went with Brees instead of Mcnabb. He had actually had a 6 game win streak at one point. He was 9-7 his 1st year at miami and 6-10 his 2nd. It's not easy to win big year in and year out in the NFL--just ask Tom Coughlin who is one of the best coaches in the NFL but has been on the hot seat multiple times in his time at NY. I think he just needed more time to build his team and he would have done well. But I doubt we will ever know how well he could do with more time in the NFL bc I don't see him leaving Alabama until he retires. I really hope I'm wrong tho.

Actually the UA visit was already set up before UT got back in the picture. It will be one of the biggest recruiting weekends for the staff and could have a shiny new trophy to show as well.
What is really telling is that he delayed his decision, set up the UT visit, and really seems legit on giving the new UT staff a chance.
