There's a different situation now.
Not really. LSU had just won a national title with Saban. That situation was better for hiring a coach.

Here's the thing: We have continued to invest in our program in the Saban mode. Therefore, we can attract a quality coach.
Texas thought the same thing and got stuck with Strong.
Nebraska thought the same thing and got stuck with Riley.
Alabama has Saban because of lucky timing, not because they are awesome. Timing means a lot, and your fanbase wants to jump in the middle of the most competitive hiring offseason in years.
It's madness.

No, I meant different from 1999.

And I have a feeling they're going to really, really regret it. There are a lot of people on the outside who think Miles needs at least another season. You risk tearing down any goodwill you've built up by getting rid of him in this fashion.
