Can Saban go 10-2 at Bama in 2008?

Could happen. The thing is for all the adoration the gumps lay on Saban, if he loses 2-3 games AND the AU game get ready. I can about GUARANTEE he will be on a hot seat and know that he must beat AU in '09. That will not be easy for him. Bottom line is the AU game this year is likely to be VERY important for Saban.



If he lives up to Alabama's expectations, won't they pony up enough to keep him around, therefore preventing a move to State College?

And if he falls short of Alabama's hopes and dreams, won't he be a considerably less sexy candidate for JoePa's replacement?

I'd be surprised to see him go to Penn State. I'd almost expect him to go to a second-tier Big Ten school before Penn State.
