How do you know that; that's exactly how we beat him in the game that went to like 13 OT's was stopping them in short yardage situations, and many of those were at the goal line.
I've been to Legion field twice, and Jordan Hare one time. JD is louder than Neyland, and Legion is not loud at all, which is puzzling since Bama fans are such fanatics.
Neyland can be loud! The Cal game last year was as loud as I have ever heard it. It was crazy loud. I am surprised that Bama's stadium is loud. I guess all of the students in the parking lot mixing drinks during the game must make one heck of a lot of noise.
May I remind you that in 3 of the 6 years Saban was at LSU his teams were a complete bust, including his last year there. In 2001 when LSU beat UT in the SEC championship game that was a fluke; Tenn kicked LSU's ass in the regular season and I'm convinced that if the Tigers hadn't lost their top QB/TB before halftime the Vols would have won the 2001 SECC. Saban is a great defensive coach but nothing on offense and I'm not overly impressed by his OC. I still say that 4 years from now Alabama will still be following behind Auburn/LSU in the SEC West division.
I read in today's Birmingham newspaper that Alabama is in the process of expanding Bryant-Denny-Saban Stadium to over 100,000, which no doubt will baloon to top the capacity of Jordan-Hare and probably Neyland. They are flush with millions in donations since the hiring of Saban.
There is no doubt that with the hiring of Saban that they wil be able to keep top draft picks in state (Jamarcus Russell, Sears and the Jason Allens). Spectacular sucess will be coming their way soon at the expense of the other league teams.
Just as the Roman general, Aetius's failure to finish off Attila the Hun at the Battle of Chalons eventually spelled doom to the Roman Empire, the NCAA failure to unlease the death penalaty on the rogue school, Alabama will prove disasterous to the other football programs in the SEC!

I disagree here. However, even if he were an NFL failure, Pete Carroll has done pretty well for himself.
There are a lot of things wrong here.
No kidding. Let me make sure I've got this correct: Saban got lucky in the 01 SECCG BECAUSE his starting QB got injured. Nice take....I reckon.
The guy was 48-16 in 5 seasons, with 2 SEC titles and 1 NC. At a school that enjoyed 7 losing seasons during the previous 10 prior to his arrival. He's just lucky, and I'm not fearful at all. :whistling:

How can you not consider him a failure in the NFL? Look at his record. His players hated him and apparently so did his former assistant coaches from Mich ST as none of them followed him to a major power house school like LSU. I have no fear of him.
