Looks like Nick Satan is looking at the Cleveland Browns job

If he's gonna coach a few more years then retire, it only makes sense for him to rake in as much dough as he can before he retires. Saban has a huge ego as well, and feels that under the right circumstances he could win big in the league. This may be his opportunity. Wouldn't that be great!

Isn't gonna happen, but I would love to see it simply for the entertainment value. The state of Alabama would melt.

I wonder if UT can grab a few Alabama recruits,if Nick Satan leaves?

This was a topic of discussion amongst the bammers last night. 

The prevailing line was "I will take three" (MNCs).  Which I find hilarious since he doesn't actually have three yet.

And also "Kirby Smart will step right up.  Probably why he hasn't taken another job".  At which.....

As if saban isn't the real power behind the D...

Actually, there's a lot of truth to that. If reports are accurate, Smart denied the opportunity to interview at two SEC schools this year. He isn't going anywhere unless it is a really, really good job, and there's a reason for that. (See Will Muschamp.)

Smart could be the next Ray Perkins

Get a shower of bricks through His office window for having three losses

Gruden to Bama

Too bad Junior Samples from Hee Haw isn't alive,He would be perfect for the job!

I am certainly having fun with this

It may well be that Kirby is sticking around to take over from saban, although a bammer fan who is one of the more reasonable one's I know has suggested he would be better off going to a mid major than straight to the SEC, which would seem to be the opposite of what you are suggesting.

That Smart would be a good candidate to take over from saban is not in debate.

That bammer would not miss a beat going from saban to Smart...that I find laughable.

I have no clue whether Mal Moore would even look his way. If I have a brand like the Bama brand and I'm Mal Moore, I'm going to go out and hire a superstar to replace Saban. Of course, the flip side of the coin is what better way to replace someone who made you the most dominant program in CFB than with someone who was groomed by that person? Either way, I guarantee you that the possibility of the Bama job in the next 4-5 years is factoring into Smart's career moves right now.

I have no doubt that it is.  Solich didn't do so hot at Nebraska though, so....speaking of which, Nebraska did win 3/4 from 94-97.   Bama isn't there yet, and I really do hope they don't get there.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I really like Sabens ability. He's a greatcoach who knows how to motivate people. LIsten, the man himself said that you really can't enjoy the wins so much at Bama for obviouse reasons. 15-17 at Miami is better than they have had before he was there and since he's been gone.He had the Phins headed in the right direction. And you're right, ifhe leaves, the Bama nation would implode with venom.

Careful. That will get you labeled a Bama fan. Right Bandit? 

[IvoryTusk]

Will never happen.  Makes for rival blog fodder though, that's for sure

Never say never.

"I will not be the next coach for the Cleveland Browns"

No, it really wouldn't.   It's one thing to say you think he's a good coach.  Even I admit that. 

It's another thing to say you like and admire him.  I don't understand that, because he seems like one of the biggest a-holes I have ever seen, but still, even LIKING the guy doesn't make you a bammer fan.

Ahem...saying that since Tennessee is down you have been living vicariously through their program.  Yeah...might as well be a bammer.   

But I am paraphrasing...I think the exact words were closer to "I enjoy seeing his teams play and I usually root for them".   Maybe not exactly what you said, but close enough!  Or did I get it wrong?

If I wasn't so lazy I would click hundreds of times to the exact words, lol.

I've never said that I usually root for Alabama and certainly have never said that I live vicariously through Bammer. I do enjoy watching Saban's teams play. Regardless of what you think of his personality there are a lot of college coaches who could learn a lot from him.

No, you definitely haven't said you live vicariously through them, just maybe gave that impression.

Saying you enjoy watching his teams play is what I can't relate to.  I want them to never score a point, let alone win.  Thus it pains me to watch them win.

I suppose you are saying you enjoy watching teams that play well.  I can do that, just not with bammer.
