Did Saban orchestrate the downfall of his biggest threats?

2010 Petrino's hogs nearly beat Bama. Hogs had the game sewn up before Mallett went full retard and threw the game away. Arkansas still finished #2 in the SEC and got the BCS Bowl invite over Bama. The following year Petrino gets fired due to inappropriate relationship.

Freeze's Rebels were the only team to beat Bama in 2015, and if not for 4th and 25 Ole Miss would have won the SEC. Less than 2 years later, Freeze is fired for calling escorts.

Is it just a coincidence the two coaches who posed the biggest threat to Saban were quickly dismissed due to inappropriate sexual activities? Or perhaps Saban orchestrated a sequence of events he knew would lead to their downfall? I wouldn't put it past him.

Saban owned Bobby Petrino. I'm pretty sure Petrino wrecked the bike just so he wouldn't have to get embarrassed by Saban again in 2012.

I mean, Nick Saban doesn't dictate whether they are horny or not. So....idk how you can make the correlation to either coach's transgressions against their respective schools and families.

Les Miles posed a big threat to N$ for many seasons. Miles coached teams nearly always played Bama to the wire. Miles, unfortunately, was more of a threat to himself.

No, it was all Dan Mullen and Mississippi State. Haven't you listened to all these Ole Miss fans the last year or two??

Petrino was neither brought down by, nor a threat to beat, Nick Saban.

Unless "Nick Saban" is the nickname Bobby gave his own penis. In that case he was both brought down by, and a constant threat to beat, Nick Saban.

No. They were just two arrogant, sleazy pervs who happened to coach football in the SEC W.

It is a little known fact....but Saban is the head of the Illuminata. Just ask any Aubie and they will tell you. He is the one who personally selects the virgin calf which is sacrificed at the Red Elephant Club meetings so the elders can bathe in the blood before we pass the bong. Heck, some say he may have been the one that shot Kennedy, if not he at least knows who did.......

Petrino? A big threat? In his four years at Arky, Bama beat them 49-14, 35-7, 24-20, and 38-14...not seeing the threat there...

Freeze yes, Petrino no...

Petrino doesn't play defense. Y'all would have sucked arse in 2012 with that roster regardless of who was the HC. Petrino saw it coming and made the career decision that instead of getting fired based on shitty on field performance that he would have some fun with a young blonde assistant and a motorcycle and go out on his terms while still maintaining his reputation of being able to coach... it was a smart move IMO
