It's kind of like Alabama falling into Saban. Donovan is an elite coach at the college level.

Sometimes, situations come up that requires you to stay put…read into it how you want.

Sounds like a lot of situations coming up that coincidentally affect the search.

3 kids is an issue.

Allegedly, he told when feeler went out that the timing was not good. Plus, Byrne is not nudging on the $18 million.

He’s apparently going through a divorce (Bama fans can probably confirm/deny) and risks losing time with his kids if he moves. Or at least that’s the hub bub.

Only place I’ve seen that discussed is on UK boards.

He’s got a daughter who is a sophomore at Bama, and two younger daughters in grade school though. That’s probably the biggest obstacle for UK, other than the buyout. Tough to pull kids away from their friends, and one of them being a full blown sorority bammer makes it even more of a challenge.

Well that’s similar to what was going on for Drew as well. Has two I think in K-12 and one at Baylor. Makes sense.

I figured I’d ask about the divorce rumor as it was brought up by a media person on Rivals.

Certainly possible, but not something I’ve seen on Bama boards. I know she was dealing with an aggressive form of cancer a few years ago.

Gotcha. On a funny note, a friend’s boss has a kid at Bama in classes with Oats daughter and she wasn’t in class today so a bunch of people are freaking out thinking it was because they were coming to Lexington.

Your high school english teacher would be embarrassed by the lack of your recognition of contextual clues.

Sure. I didn't say it was because Oats was coming to Kentucky. I said some of her classmates were freaking out because THEY thought it meant they were in Lexington.
