Nicky, you really really have a way of winning friends and influencing people!

"Meanwhile Alabama seems to be losing steam pretty rapidly. Word from the Bama staff is they don't think they're even really still in it for Randle, Richardson and Fluker are taking visits elsewhere (including to LSU next weekend, apparently) and Saban is desperate to find a linebackers coach to replace Kevin Steele, who is now Clemson's defensive coordinator - he's offering to double Bradley Dale Peveto's salary at Northwestern State and getting nowhere in trying to hire him.

Two lost coaches isn't an exodus, but it's not over yet. I expect a couple more out the door in Tuscaloosa. And the word is they are absolutely panicked about their quarterback situation for 2009; Greg McElroy doesn't have an SEC arm, Star Jackson simply isn't a quarterback at this level and A.J. McCarron is built like Kate Moss. Could Saban have peaked there? Could the Jimmy Sexton Shoparound Show be far off beyond the horizon?

It is surprising how many coaches have already left Alabama since Saban started there.

This thread should really be on the SEC board.

I doubt it is all true, but if only 1/2 of it is, then I'm liking my prediction of 11-1 and SECCG appearance in '09 as even more solid. In fact, it's approaching "lock" status.

Don't forget; it never will end!



Go check the rant to see what Thompson said on the radio station. It might actually correlate to what many LSU fans have been saying sll along.

I am not a Saban hater, I think he is a great coach and I like him personally but it is very well known among the coaching ranks that it is hell working for him. He is a great teacher but also a task master. he works 20 hours a day and expects everyone else to do the same. So most coaches will come in work a few years leran all they can and then leave. If you can take NICK for a couple of years your stock goes up anyway.

This is probably his biggest downside. He may end up teaching your rivals coaches how to beat you. bama knew that goling in. It is jut how it is with Nick

That's why I put the LAWLZ icon in my post, cutie.

I really doubt it's true, but it did fool a few Bama fans on Tidesports

I find it amazing that a LSU fan blog site has inside information that Fluker is going to visit LSU, when just this week DJ announced he is done with visits. Man, these people need to just let it go.
