Very likely, though I do think Durkin has an outside shot at landing the job.

I'm pretty sure Sark was never the Bama Head Coach.
2020 is off.

Wasn’t that when Saban had COVID?

Shows how terrible Auburn has been the past five years.

Sorry about that. My mind is a terrible thing to waste. I do believe you are correct.

Saban tested positive for covid on Wednesday of Iron Bowl week and had to watch the game from home in quarantine.

quote:

Thanks to an interview by ESPN's Chris Low, we now know more to the story.

"Yes, I was cheering and clapping and jumping around a bit, but a couple of times it scared me and I froze when I heard a booming, screaming deep voice from upstairs," Nick Saban's wife Terry said to ESPN. "At first, I thought, 'What the heck was that?' Then I realized Nick was coaching ... coaching the TV.

"Old habits die hard, and I wondered if he threw his coffee cup since he didn't have a headset."
