It's been reported that Saban was going to fire Randy Mueller. Not surprising, given some of his statements today and that word had gotten out late in the year that the two weren't exactly on the greatest terms.

Could Mueller have been the final nail that sold Saban on trading for Culpepper instead of gambling on Brees?

An interesting thing to note is that one of the guys on Sirius NFL radio (Randy Cross, I think) reported seeing Culpepper recently, and that he looked about 285 and wasn't moving all that well (granted, he had a scope). It was also reported earlier that Nick wasn't happy that Duante slacked off on his rehab at the beginning of the year.

It could well be that Nick didn't feel Duante was going to come back at 100%, and that may have added to his desire to leave knowing he'd be stuck for a few more years with questions at QB and egg on his face for trading away the 2nd for him. This, in turn, could have contributed to his dissatisfaction with Randy Mueller.

Any thoughts?

If Cpep was up to 285 I have to believe that we would have heard it from a source closer than Randy Cross from Sirius NFL radio.

Lol, even if DC comes back at 100% we are a longshot to win a playoff game, let alone a SB. People need to get real around here if they want to ever start winning again.

We dont need to blow up the whole team, but we also need to start going in a new direction. New coach, new QB, new mentality. We need to change the CULTURE down here. We are still infected by the curse of Wanny, we have no spirit.
We need a new HC to come in and fire this team up. Going to the SB is not a one or even 2 year process. Its all about steady improvement. As long as we keep getting better we are good, but the leaps and bounds is just not a viable way to build a team.

Perhaps, you never know. Cross did say he "looked" about 285. It could have just been his clothing, too.

But at his last press conference before he left, Nick did state that straightening out the QB situation was high on the priority list. It just doesn't seem to me like his words and actions spoke of a man confident his QB was going to be 100% next year.
 
The doctors sold Saban on CPep over Brees, not Mueller.

I'm sure the doctors had a part to play, but seeing as Mueller was the GM and personnel guy, I'm sure he had his input also. The question is how much.
