I agree with ESPN " that no one wants the job " no coach with integrity will take the position at Bama......including Schiano.

HAHAHAHAHA, yeah I'm sure no one wants a job that is paying 4-6 mil a year. :sidelol::sidelol::sidelol: *removed*.

Birmingham News is Reporting Saban and Bama talking

Tide ready to make Saban highest-paid college football coach
TUSCALOOSA — The University of Alabama is prepared to offer Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban approximately $4 million per year to coach the Crimson Tide, likely making him the highest-paid college football coach.

Representatives of Alabama and representatives of Saban have agreed on most major points of a contract, two sources close to the situation said, but it is uncertain whether Saban would accept the job if Alabama extends a formal offer. A source close to Saban said he is considering the job.

Alabama officials hope to hear from Saban’s side early this week regarding
the coach's intention.

Why do you start working on a contract if your client isn't even sure if he wants the job??:confused:

Because agents make a percentage of each new contract that is agreed to. If Saban agrees to a contract that has him moving to Alabama, Sexton is making more money. If this circus leads to Saban signing a new agreement with Miami, Sexton makes more money.

Link?

Or did you see it on TV? That sounds like a written report.

 

[chdoyle]

for a guy like Saban Alabama would have to bring something very concrete to the table even if the odds are he will turn them down for him to even take their call (his agent I mean of course).

If Saban takes the Alabama job it will seriously put into question my faith in the 'human condition' and after that it just doesn't get any worse.

I saw it on some different forums, I will try and get a link.

Saban's reputation will be ruined in all facets of football if he leaves now.
His word will mean absolutely nothing. I very much doubt he goes.

I wouldn't put much stock into it though. The B'Ham news reported that Rodriguez was the next coach and look how that turned out.

Just in case you needed a little help. :wink:

Bama newspaper reporting Saban is talking to Bama and working out a contract...rest of the world reporting otherwise - shocking revelation

 

[Brown42000]

His agent could be saying all of this so he could get more money from the Fins and I still he think he will be back with Miami next year.
