That would actually be good for us. The Norm Chow lovefest is laughable. Exactly how badly did SC fall off when he left? That's right, they didn't. He's the Paris Hilton of football coaches.
The talent probably had something to do with that too.
Either way, the gist of my point was that we've had a lot of negatives lately regarding our football program. The 'bama hire of Saban was just as bad as our bowl loss.
Counting on Saban to fail will be almost as irrational as expecting Haystacks Fulmer to return UT to championship level football.Why? I don't know why everyone assumes that NS will be a huge success at bammer. He very well could be but he also could very well be a bust. When he has been successful (barring his stint at Miami where he had zero success) he has had total control. I am not convinced he will get that at bammer. His ego and the irrational fans/boosters/BOT could very well blow up.

When he delivers like he did at LSU, and he will sooner than later, he can urinate on the Bear's grave and nobody will say a word to him.hate my man, where did I say I was counting on him to fail. I am neither counting on him to fail or succeed. I am not ready to anoint him champion of anything. This is bammer we are talking about with the likes of Paul Bryant jr. Saban is an ego maniac and a prick. I will not be surprised if he rubs the bammer nation wrong big time. You take his ego and their irrational state and it could very well be pouring gasoline on a fire.

By the time Slick Nick is done in Tuscaloosa, they'll all be sporting rich tans and wearing polo shirts. Winning is the ultimate panacea.That's why they greeted him wearing Houndstooth hats?!
Paul Bryant Jr swings a very large stick in that conspiracy laden hell hole they call Alabama. Saban is a very capable coach but he is an ego maniac and if you take his ego and the likes of PBjr and others... well let's just say that if they don't see eye to eye it will be fun to watch.
Since when did being justifiably confident in one's own abilities come to constitute being egomaniacal?That's why they greeted him wearing Houndstooth hats?!

No, I don't. Both parties desperately need the other. Nobody in the NFL will ever give Saban another thought. Alabama has financially commtitted themselves to the point of being the football equivalent of "all in." They're like a married couple that accumulates substantial wealth together, divorce becomes just too damn costly.
Do you not think there is a potential for a huge blowout?
