No he didn't. I remember January 2-4, 2007 like it was yesterday. Saban met with Mal Moore on New Years' Day 2007. The next day, January 2, all the talk was that Saban was going to take the job. But then it was announced out of Miami that Saban was going to take the night to think it over and report to WH the next day with his decision. That morning, January 3, Saban met with WH and told him that he was taking the Alabama job. Around lunch time on that same day, Nick Saban landed in Tuscaloosa. The rest is history.
He did not leave in the middle of the night. Once Alabama started talking to him everyone was aware of the process.

I stand corrected. I thought he left during the night.
