This is what's insane:
People actually being nuts about it.
They are just going to fire him too as soon as Auburn beats Bama a time or 2.

Oh good grief!

Did anyone catch the mass chaos when he got off the plane and he and his family were trying to just get inside?!?!?! It was a redneck rampage. He even got seperated from his wife and kids.... thats just plain disrespectful. Welcome to Tuscaloosa Saban

Lalo

yikes...

who think he'll do a good job?

Edit: a better question... who WANTS him to do a good job?

Scothew

Oh I think he'll do a good job, as long as the boosters let him do his job. Its going to make for one heck of a 2007 SEC season. UA vs LSU and UA vs AU are gonna be veeeery interesting.

I loved the redneck woman in the crowd begging Mrs. Saban for her autograph and saying "Oh Jesus, I'll love you forever!"

Some woman called in to WJOX this morning and said she was so happy they got Saban and that she'd been praying that Alabama would get a good coach. Do you really think Alabama football is near the top of God's priority list?

It's just football folks!

Scothew

AL Football = Religious Cult


And I mean that for Alabama and Auburn fans.

Woah.. how'd you get all the way up to him like that April?

Enyo

The only saving grace of Saban is that he has no connection what so ever to the Bear. Thank god that finally the Tide has a coach that doesn't have ties to him.

Time will tell.

Press conference about to start:

My dreaded thoughts... Tubberville has openly said his dream job is the Dolphins.... great, now the job is open.

if that should happen, lets hope he takes Will Muschamp with him.

Scothew

I just hope he doesnt take Borges.

How will Alabama afford to pay their players after giving Saban so much money?

GO VOLS!!!

Scothew

Heck the campus is now buying up property all along the "strip" at a few million a piece.. rumor is that its going to be parking decks when its all said and done.
