Well, it rubs me a little wrong to hear all the "mights" about Nick Saban.
I don't remember much of this surrounding Coach Bryant. People here and there around the country and in the SEC seemed to understand that the coach in the houndstooth hat was as natural a fit at his alma mater as a, well, a bluetick hound.
And I would like to think that Coach Saban has found his home here, for a number of reasons: 1. If you want to win national championships, if you just like that sort of thing, where else would you have a better chance to do it? 2. If you hail from a southern state with a down-home atmosphere, where else are you going to get that same atmosphere better than in THIS state? 3. If you are a human being who likes to be appreciated for winning football games, where else are you going to get that better than here in this state? 4. Heck, where are you going to be appreciated for just being Nick Saban more than right here as the Alabama football coach?
I read Tigerrant, and some LSU folks like to fantasize there about his coming back to LSU, and at least one of them has the idea that "Saban will finish up his career at Penn State when Paterno retires."
I suppose that all we can do is just let people have their fantasies, but I would add this, that while you are fantasizing, we may win quite a few more championships here before he leaves.
