A chronology of comments about Nick Saban taking the head coaching job at Alabama:
Nov. 27:
Saban: "When I was in college it was always about coming to the pros. This is the challenge I wanted. I had a good college job. Why would I have left that if I was going to be interested in other college jobs?
"I took this as a challenge. We certainly haven't seen this through and gotten where we want to go and finished the job here, so why would I be interested in something else?"
Dec. 5:
Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga (after giving Saban a vote of confidence): "I am completely sold on Nick Saban. I would admit we made a mistake if we did make a mistake, but I firmly believe in Nick Saban."
Dec. 7:
Saban: "I'm flattered that they may have been interested in me, but it never really progressed, because we just never let it progress."
Dec. 21:
Saban: "I guess I have to say it. I'm not going to be the Alabama coach. ... I don't control what people say. I don't control what people put on dot-com or anything else. So I'm just telling you there's no significance, in my opinion, about this, about me, about any interest that I have in anything other than being the coach here."
Dec. 27:
Saban: "I'm just making a rule to never comment on something like that again because every time you comment on it, it just makes for another story. So I'm not going to comment on it five years from now, and I'm not going to comment on it next week."
Jan. 4:
Saban: "What I realized in the last two years is that we love college coaching because of the ability that it gives you to affect people, young people. ... If I knew that my heart was someplace else in what I wanted to do, I don't think it would be fair to the [Dolphins] organization if I stayed."

Time to let it go. You will feel better in the long run.

I don't feel bad, how about you?

Radom time to suddenly care about this.
Posted on 8/20/12 at 10:11 am to okpoman
Good heavens. Everybody knows this and it's years old. Do us a favor and show it to the kids he's recruiting.

Just a "gentle" reminder, while everyone is falling all over themselves to anoint Little Nicky as the best thing since sliced bread.

I feel great. Rather be a Tiger even after 21-0 than a Gump.

Why not, and why not on the Rant? That is exactly what it is.

Made me laugh, I moved recently and unearthed my Nick Saban, Mike the Tiger and Skip Bertman bobble heads from Bank One! Who the hell are they now, Chase? That damn bank has changed names 100 times over the years.

I'm happy that some things will always be constant in my life:
Sun rising and setting
Denzel Washington being a badass in every movie
LSU fans being obsessed with Nick Saban.
I take comfort in the little things.

there is an SEC rant for things about Alabama
Nick Saban is not the coach at LSU, and your post has nothing to do with LSU, so it shouldnt be on this board
also, you need to let this the hell go, its really pathetic to keep bringing up something that has been beaten to death as much as this subject has
