| FTBL What a way for Saban to exit

[musso]

Saban will have ended where he began, by first returning to Atlanta to exact revenge on a team that beat him in the previous meeting, similar to Urban Meyer's two-time championship program in 2009. Then he returns to the Rose Bowl for the semifinal, which was the site of his first Bama natty. Then he plays Texas again for the championship. He surpasses Bryant's natty titles at Bama with 7 (8 including at LSU).

Meanwhile, after a disappointing first outing against Texas in Tuscaloosa, Milroe gets his revenge ... near his hometown of Katy, TX at NRG Stadium in Houston!

I'm just saying, it would be poetic, wouldn't it?????????

Except for Saban ending...he is staying a bit longer...

It would be but I so hope he doesn’t take you up on it! My other hope has been and continues to be that he either grooms a replacement or has one in mind. Even still, I know there’s a good chance there’s going to be a substantial drop off at least for a while … but I no longer think as I did after Coach Bryant that there won’t be another one like him. Bama’s fan base demands excellence and by excellence I mean NC’s. So, there will be another coach somewhere down the line who will lead Bama to multiple titles. I’m just not sure I’ll live to see it. That’s OK … my kids and grandkids will. And that’s what it’s all about … one rabid Bama fan passing on his/her passion for everything Bama to those who come after them. Roll Tide Roll Forever!

CNS will have a major role in naming his replacement.

Never forget, his suggestion for his replacement at LSU when he left for the Dolphins was HDN from Arkansas

Houston Dale Nutt.

Shut yo mouth!

I don't know about that but I do expect Bama to compete for championships.

 

[Tidestalker]

It actually would be pretty sweet, and you couldn't blame him.

However, I'd think he would enjoy the ride with this particular QB and the other returners. Next year could be a lot of fun!

 

[BamaFan334]

I think he'll ride after Sayin leaves. He is the reason he's coming to Tuscaloosa and I think he'll honor his word there.

They hired Miles. Do you think Nutt would have had the same success at LSU as Les? More?

At least as much. Miles road the CNS foundation for 10 years before he finally drove it in the ground.

CNS knows coaches. HN would have done as much with what Saban left as Les Miles.

And given LSU's recruiting base, Nutt would've thrived there.

You know how hard it is to recruit to the middle of nowhere Ar-kansas?

Miles tried to get the Bama job twice. No one thought he was a fit.

I'll argue that Nutt would have been a better fit than Miles. In the same sense as we're seeing Kelly isn't a fit.

Kelly seems to be able to recruit....while he appears to be an arrogant yankee...
His recruiting was thought to be the weak link...

Where do you get that idea from? He's not better than Saban, Miles, or Orgeron. I'd have to look but I'm willing to bet we'd find Auburn with a higher rated recruiting class than LSU. I would bet Notre Dame has a better ranked class than his at LSU. I don't know...don't pay attention to these things like I used to.

The state will always produce enough talent to have a competitive football team. However, that border is more open than another I could mention...
