I mean, that's why he said that he did. He said that they wanted to be closer to family.
he also said he'd quit coaching and sell insurance if he didn't get the Ole Miss HC job
I don't believe most of what coaches say. They're all politicians and all full of shite. Let's pretend he and Saban had a falling out. You think he's going to say "yeah Coach Saban told be to look elsewhere and Ole Miss was the best job I could find." That doesn't exactly inspire people at your new job. Y'all over in Oxford really need to stop falling for the "family man" angles your head coaches keep feeding you.

LSU fans are even experts on Pete’s family dynamics now. Truly a brilliant fan base. Lmao.
Going from Alabama to Ole Miss just to be 1.5 hours closer to your wife's family is certainly a....choice.

The Delta is the Western side of the state. It's a cultural region in the state, not the Mississippi River delta. Look at a map and find the Yazoo river - between that and the Mississippi river is the Delta.

Have you ever driven from Tuscaloosa to the Mississippi state line? It's like going through Mogadishu.

They're from the Delta, basically a Third World country.

Yes, but they only have to go through half of Mogadishu now.

I'm well aware of where it is.

He won 1 national championship with Pete and 6 without. I guess I’m just not understanding your case. Help me out here.

Then is it where Oxford is located that you're confused about?

There's a rumor going around in some circles that LSU may have gone after the wrong coach. Think about it.

Jackson, MS has entered the discussion.

Look, I don’t know why anyone would be pulling against the guy but there is no reason you need to be this retarded.

Yes. Saban retired because he knew it was actually Pete behind his success. That is why Lane was torn about LSU once he found out Pete would not follow.
finally, an OM poster with a sense of humor.

I was talking with my BIL, an Ole Miss alum, over the weekend. He insisted that Saban really wanted to keep Pete and offered him a raise when Pete made it known he was leaving for Oxford.
Is this true?
I know a lot of Alabama fans weren't happy with his performance and I just always assumed that he had been told to find another job.
Saban was not happy with Golding toward the end of his tenure and that was evident through some of the subtle things Saban said in post game pressers. There's no doubt from from an academic standpoint, Golding KNOWS defense and apparently is a "genius" on the white board when drawing up X's and O's.
The problem we ran into with him, is in the crucial times we needed a stop or he needed to make an adjustment, it seemed to never work. As long as the original defensive game plan worked out of the gate, he was as good as advertised. But if it didn't, it was a mess and that's what Alabama fans got tired of, was his inability to adjust in game to what the other team was doing if the other team was having success against his original defensive plan.

I don't think Nick Saban knows how to smile.
