I will start this by saying I do not know if he is leaving or not. I am really 50/50. I really can’t help but to notice how similar the 2 of their lives are.

CUM
1. A few years ago he took over at Fl and won a couple of championships.
2. He fell in love with his qb a little more than he should have.
3. He had a great team that won all of their games until the last one and that kept him out of another championship game.
4. He knew it would be a lot easier to win outside of the SEC.
5. When It was time for his beloved qb to leave he bolted.

CNS
1. A few years ago he took over at Al and won 3 championships.
2. He fell in love with his qb a little more than he should have. It really looked like he was crying last night when Aj got his award.
3. He had a great team that won all of their games until the last one and that kept him out of another championship game.
4. He knows it would be a lot easier to win outside of the SEC.
5. Now it is time for his beloved qb to leave, he has a chance to bolt.

I really hope he stays but I just thought this was a lot of things in common. RT

Meyer and Saban are nothing alike.

When Saban quits like a bitch over a phantom health issue, I'll eat my hat.

I agree. Saban and Frodo Baggins are also eerily similar.

Frodo
1. He's of below average stature.
2. He was recruited to a quest by Gandalf that he was hesitant to undertake.
3. He had a faithful companion to help him (Sam).
4. He had unbelievable focus in his quest.
5. He triumphed.

Saban
1. He's of below average stature.
2. He was recruited to a quest by Mal Moore that he was hesitant to undertake.
3. He has a faithful companion to help him (Kirby).
4. He has unbelievable focus in his quest.
5. He's triumphed 3 times thus far.


What can we take from these similarities that just too much to be coincidence? Saban is a hobbit.

Lets look at this a different way to compare.

Meyer arrives:

Saban leaving LSU
Miles comes to LSU-no one knows what to expect
Spurrier shows up at USC-no one expected him to turn the program around like he did
Fulmer on the decline at UT the next season
AU coming off a great year but they have those about every 5
UA we had Shula enough said
UGA always the bridesmaid never the bride
The SEC finished with 4 teams ranked, which were the only teams with over 7 wins.

Saban arrives in 2007
UF coming off a NC
LSU BCS bowl NC the next year
UGA again the bridesmaid
6 teams nationally ranked with 8 having 8 or more wins.

The difference Saban came to the SEC and UA for the challenge and doubt he would leave because of how competitive it is, which I believe he has helped to create. Urban came to the SEC and UF because at the time it was easy picking. Once he saw he would actually have to out coach other teams he left and saw OSU in the same position that UF was when he arrived. My guess is if the Big10 gets to be to competitive CUM will leave OSU.

This is one of the main reasons I think CNS has no interest in Texas

One is a machine. The other is a little bitch that fakes heart problems.
