Saban was concerned of some character flaws


Yes. Saban has a clear history of passing on talent with character flaws.

Not true at all.. Bowden wanted the Bama job VERY badly... He stated so many times himself... That administration was full of morons and hired Bill Curry. He was a decent coach but, needless to say, was not even in the same hemisphere as Bobby Bowden... That move still stings even to this day...


It's very true. He felt insulted by the process and went the frick home.

No, actually they're talking about Toldeo, not Toledo.

He felt insulted that they wanted him to interview. he was the number 1 guy and they wanted him, but they wanted to interview him. He felt he was above that and said no thanks (even though he himself has admitted he wanted the job...we used him in a video for a client once a few years ago and I asked him about it. He said "all they had to do was say 'the job is yours if you want it bobby' and I'd have been there the next day")
