Well, now Saban's friend is saying "new coach". We've got several factions relative to replacement:

Davis - Skip
Petrino - ex players and money guys
Del Rio - real interested (from New Orleans)
Slocum - Okeefe (what a joke!!!)

I hope we have an double press conference saying goodbye and hello on tomorrow on Wednesday.

BTW - Nick Saban was my hero - seriously. I am so crushed by this episode. Especially hearing that this whole thing has been in the works for many months. If something were to somehow happen and the deal falls through, the only way it would be okay for Nick to stay is for him to come real clean and tell the whole truth. But, it appears it's a done deal and he did a lot for us. However, he could have been honest and left differently. He is not the same hero just for that reason. He was not completely honest.

I'm crushed.

I'm four-square for Jack Del Rio, but the guy has it going well in Jax, so what's the incentive?

I think he'd make an excellent college coach. Dude is SO emotional and intense. Kids would eat it right up.

Sorry, an ex player and his power group - Petrino.

Mark my words, Del Rio is interested in the job should it become available. How public or private his interest will become, I can't say for sure. I know for a fact that he is interested in the job...

I would love to see Jack Del Rio come here. I watched the entire Inside Training Camp series on the NFL Network where they followed him and the Jags around during training camp, and I've been a Del Rio fan ever since. He is a good guy. I don't think we'd skip a beat if he came along.

Just curious why the Del Rio talk. Is he on the outs with Jacksonville? Is he free to leave or bound by contract?
