Mal never wanted Rich Rod. Mal made sure Rich Rod was lowballed because, like I said, Saban was always the candidate Mal wanted. Spurrier was never really the option for UA that some think he was.
What does everyone gain by lying about both of those guys being options then?
quote:
About the three hours after the loss to Tennessee, which was two games prior to the State game, I received a text message from someone that I knew would know and trusted that always had info. The text simply read, "Saban is our next coach."
I continued to be reassured throughout the process that it was Saban and only Saban, no matter what the media was saying or being told. Well, sometime later, everything worked out exactly the way I was told it would the week of the Tennessee game. After Saban took over, my source dried up, and the rest is history.
Well damn, isn't that handy

I'm telling you the truth, and there are many other people with similar knowledge and experience. I know you can't stand to be wrong, but you are. Saban was the target, even before talks of Shula being fired and before the media had a clue who the "targets" were or would be.
There had to be smokescreens for UA because Saban was the target and head coach of the Dolphins. Saban didn't want any possibility of leaks because of his relationship with Wayne Huizenga. Saban wanted out of the NFL, and talks with Mal we're happening with Saban's agent, but not directly with Saban, but Mal knew Saban was heavily interested the entire time.
Mal was pressured by PTB to offer Rich Rod, but it was against Mal's will, and Mal did everything he could to stop that deal from happening without outright sabotaging the thing, because he knew Saban was very interested but had to wait patiently for Saban because his team had a small chance at the playoffs and Saban didn't want it to get out at all that he wanted the job. In the end, the thing that almost stopped Saban from following his heart and leaving the NFL for Alabama was his relationship with Huizenga, but in the end Saban and Huizenga parted ways.
