As Bama fans... Which of you here would have gladly agreed to saying "Sayonara" to Saban if he won us a national title in year #3 (pre-hire, obviously)

Which of y'all would rather KEEP him than win a national title THIS year?

I for one honestly believe I would rather lose this game than Saban... that is, if the hypothetical situation were to arise and God tell me i had to make a choice between one or the other.

Oh, me? I'm good, trust me. I just thought of these scenarios while doing the paperwork and was all excited because I finally had a decent idea for a thread hit me.

By the way, in no way am I implying he'll leave us if he won. I am not concerned about that at all.

I think Nick realizes that any legacy he may leave this late in his life will have to be done at Bama.

You have to take the national title. Fans just don't have a clue how difficult it is to win one. No living coach has won more than three national championships. The odds are pretty high against Saban winning more than two at Alabama. When an opportunity like this presents itself, you have to seize it no matter what.

maybe you're right. maybe i have the auburn mentality right now. but i think i'd trade ONE national title for YEARS of whipping everyone's asses and still plenty of opportunity to win more NC games in the future.

I was wondering if you were boiling shrooms or on acid.

And then there are some rantards that would give back LSU's '07 crystal if it meant Miles would have gone to Michigan.

This is amusing. When Saban was at LSU, Gumps said he was a recruiting cheat (see Jamarcus Russell, Chevis Jackson, et al), a philanderer, a damn Yankee, etc., etc.

Now, they ponder the answer they would give if God Almighty gave them a choice between a NC and keeping him.

You have to be amused and laugh.

(Before the "obssession" talk starts, remember it was the Gumps who are obssessed with Dennis Franchione, (Does the name "Fran Phony" ring a bell, Gumps?),whose only unpardonable sin was that he had the nerve to leave Tideland and go to Texas (where he's from*) and coach there.



* I am also from Texas. Any Gump who says Bama** is better than Texas is, well, a Gump.


** The respective states AND universities.

Actually the odds of winning ONE national title are against y'all. No coach has ever done it for two teams.

Oh yeah, you guys really gave it to Nebraska huh?

That Texas running game is UNSTOPPABLE. It's not like they are one dimensional on offense or anything.

ACLGUMP,

I said the respective STATES and UNIVERSITIES (not the running games, defenses, etc.)

But, I hope the underdog, Texas, spanks Bama's arse like Utah did last year in the Sugar Bowl. Way to represent the SEC against Utah, Gumps!
