Is this true? I feel that most Alabama posters here have been pretty level headed about the possibility of him leaving. Would Alabama fans really be that mad at a guy who won them 3 nattys?

Buddy of mine said "if he leaves, frick em"
I said but 3 NC tho. "I don't care. He would be wrong for lying."
Lulz. Momma always said you lose em like you found em.

Some would be for sure.
Put me in the camp that would be grateful for what he accomplished at The Capstone.

Probably, but you won't get them to say that here.
All your gonna get is, "no, we wish him well. Thanks for the memories." bs.
Precisely why I don’t like the fricker. Not for leaving LSU, but how he lied at Miami, got offered more money, then fricked them.
All we heard was "yall just mad he left LSU rabble rabble rabble"
Gonna be funny if he puts the shoe on their foot

Of course they would.
Anyone would.
Look at Cleveland after Lebron left. And he didn't even win them a championship.

Some will and some won't. There are all kinds in our fanbase so it's impossible to know.

I'm sure some would feel spurned, I'm sure some wouldn't. Don't think you can just paint in broad strokes as ESPN often tries to do. Personally I wouldn't feel "spurned" or any bad-will to him. He's going to leave Alabama eventually for one reason or another. He's worked his arse off for Alabama for the last seven years, and brought three national championships. I don't think even the most homerific Alabama fans would've guessed he'd have that much success. The program is in 1000x better shape now than when he got to Tuscaloosa, I'll wish him the best whenever he decides to go, whether it's Texas or retirement.

Most probably won't feel "spurned"
Now if he decided after 2 seasons Texas just wasn't a good fit and took a job at, oh I don't know, say Auburn . . . then yeah, it would make LSU fans reaction in 07 look like child's play.

Most here acknowledge it would be hypocritical and would handle it well.
Most IRL would not handle it very well.

They would be torn up inside
Of course on here they will force themselves to act calm and collected so they can say...look how much better we are than LSU fans at this Saban thing

would Bama fans be pissed off longer than the streak some LSU fans still have going?

Anyone with half of an inkling of common-sense had to realize that he would leave at some point. Of course there will be fans who are mad but in the end it is what it is...Aight?

I honestly wouldn't care if he left at this point. I wasn't alive for Bear, but I heard stories and saw Gene, more or less. then got to live through the Dark Ages. The years he gave us, sometimes that is all you can ask for.

I don't believe that Coach Saban is leaving, but if and when he does I'll be forever grateful for the job he's done while he was here. Coaching is a job, and I have no illusions - unlike a lot of fans. He'll always be a hero to me.
