Can anyone in the know confirm or deny the accusation of the BOT meddling? Nevertheless, I like the Saban-Fisher scenario.

The clue phone rang and rang and rang, yet Ben Cook refused to answer. Guess what that makes his article?

If Bama hires Houston Nutt it would be suicide. But his name for some reason keeps popping up. I hope to god he's not a serious candidate.

That thing reads like the rantings of Oliver Stone at his conspiracy-theorist best. I was just waiting for some mention of the grassy knoll or the Trilateral Commission.

If this goes on much longer we will have the telephone tapes from Nixon's White House referring to some guy in Miami who wants to coach in Alabama:biggrin2:

From the Conspiracy Theory:

Fisher is thought to be the next Bob Stoops waiting to happen

Wouldn't Fisher be the next Mark Richt? Offensive coordinators. Stoops was a defensive coordinator. Or is his analogy so loose that any assistant coaching position will do?

You know what they say, "truth is stranger than fiction". For anyone that does not think the BOT is invloved, think again.

I think the only reason it keeps popping up, is Sexton. Personally, I'd rather have Kines, than nutt, by a long shot!

The ultimate blunder would be hiring Houston Nutt. There would be chairs pulled up from their bolting at Bryant-Denny if Houston Nutt was announced as head coach.

Please, please, please leave Nutt at Arkansas. I don't want to see him on our sideline... ever.

I'll parade down University Blvd in my Big Al thong if Houston Nutt is hired. Never happen.

You have a Big Al thong??

I defintely think the BOT thinks there may be Jimbo in Bama's future - I did haven't read the article but I think's it's obvious that was their motive.

 

[rizolltizide]

My biggest question...if the BOT is so involved and they think Fisher is the best hire, why wouldn't they go ahead and hire him?

Tell me where you got that.

I need my girlfriend to find it.

The BOT is the biggest problem the football program has.

Get this straight! The BOT has both the right and responsibility to "meddle"/get involved in a coaching search. Take the UAB case. We have heard reports that UAB is losing a ton of money on football. If that is the case, then why don't the "Fat Cats" mentioned in the article come forth and cover the losses? The BOT has the fiduciary responsibility to stop the bleeding. Those losses have to be covered somehow and, most likely, it will be from money allocated for academic departments.
With an athletic budget approaching (if not already there) $100,000,000 a year, the BOT BETTER be involved. You don't want it any other way.

I like the thought of Saban then Fisher but theres two problems. One we don't have Saban or any headcoach for that matter. Two how do we know he would come to coach under Saban if he did come? Did he not turn down an offer to go to the Dolphins.Fisher will be a headcoach somewhere soon and i don't see him waiting 4-5 years.

I for one would be ecstatic if Houston Nutt was hired. I think he's a great motivator, his teams seem ready to play every game, he's got cajones (hiring the high school OC), he had a player finish second in the Heisman balloting this year, a trip or two to Atlanta, and you can't argue with his record against Bama and Auburn....whats not to like??
