According to @laurenleefox13, Nick Saban didn't give Jim McElwain a "glowing" review to Fred Smith. That helped move Memphis off the Bama OC



Why would he do this? Did he say..."you're not fricking up my championship, McElwain."

@laurenleefox13 Lauren Lee The main reason Memphis moved away from McElwain was contentious negotiations with Sexton. Fred Smith's call to Saban sealed the deal.

In that case, I'd move on to another team ASAP if I was McElwain.

I'm sure this is 100% verifiable info, and will be scrutinized appropriately by the posters of the SEC Rant.

If he didn't give him a good review, basically saying he's not all that good, then why would Saban want to keep him around? Unless the plan is to keep him for another month and then fire him.

I heard the reason that it didn't work was the "buyout" clause in McElwain's contract. Everything else was set for go except for that including salary, assistants, etc.

if this were even remotely true nick would be jumping at the chance to get rid of him. i happen to agree with nick's unverified comments though...
