Speaking of top dollar...how much money are we gonna have to spend on buyouts the next time we change coaches? Imagine being able to put in, oh, I don't know, how about an extra $28,500,000 into coaches' salaries because you're not paying a buyout?

Then, when you actually win, those PTB that you were yapping about stay the hell out of the way.

Throw in the fact that anyone with a pulse can win 10 games at Alabama. Mike Shula won 10. Bill Curry won 10. How many did that dumbass Doug Barfield win at Auburn. Hell, even he could have won 10 at Bama.

It had nothing to due with Saban wanting out of Miami and the NFL.

I guess with the exception of Barfield, anyone at Auburn can win 10 games also. And three can actually go undefeated.

Well....At the end of 2006 going into 2007 there were several 'major' NCAA jobs open and available for Saban. He could have gone back to Michigan State, Arizona State, Indiana or even Miami. Why didn't he? Was it all about the money? If so, why didn't he leave for Texas when they made that unreal offer a few years back.
I'm not sure why you're hating on Bama and Saban. Really you should be thankful for Alabama's success as it has caused AU to elevate their 'game' so to speak. Before Saban. AU was content to pull a 7-5 or 8-4 season; if that season included a victory over Bama. Things are pretty much the same but now that victory over Bama usually puts AU in a position to play for something more than a minor bowl game.
