In all fairness, this was very close to being true. Every coach in the country just about turned you guys down, and it was a direct result of the crazy assed fans in Alabama. You guys are absolutely a great program, but a lot of coaches were afraid of the monster down there.
You'd have to admit that coaching search was a disaster, and getting Saban was a Hail Mary on 4 and long.
