I didnt say this is saban's fault.. I said "how much blame does he deserve?"... He did leave us at a bad time, hiring-wise...
No coach ever left a more talented team behind. No coach left better facilities behind. This ain't Nick's problem.
I see now so what you are saying HAD SABAN LEFT EARLIER THAN HE DID perhaps we could have got Urban or Charlie.
not left earlier.. ANNOUNCED earlier that he would leave... He knew the whole season that if the right offer came along he would leave, but all along he said he wasnt going anywhere... this severely hamstrung us in the job search process..
None, though an earlier announcement could have gotten us Spurrier. But if if were a skiff, we'd all go sailing. We should be eternally grateful he was our coach, and brought the program to a level I wasn't completely sure we'd ever see.
None Saban helped the program far more then he ever hurt it. would have been nice to have Meyer though. Spurrier proved how good he is lately... see NFL
weis signed something like 6 year 12 mill. meyers contract is crazy. has 100 incentives and ranges anywhere from 1 to 2 mill if he lasts to 2012. both coaches about 2 mill per year each i think.
