    Where an investment is made has nothing to do with where a guy is planning on working. It's a non-factor in all of this.

    Well, it is relevant if you ask this question: will "Nick Saban Mercedes Benz" get snubbed by Alabamians if he leaves for Austin?

    I don't understand why he would do that. He hates the public and that job would put him in front of John Q. Public.

    A question only pertinent if it applied. It doesn't.

    I've got to add...if someone is making a decision on their next auto based on the name of the dealership? Good gawd...off the deep end!

    In a case such as this I beg to differ. Imagine a Lane Kiffen owned dealership in Tennessee. Okay, that's an extreme example cause he hasn't accomplished anything. If Saban were to leave Bama for Texas though (and I don't see this happening) Bama folk would certainly drive by in their pick up trucks and blast the windows out with their double barrel shotguns but they wouldn't buy from his dealership.

    Ah c'mon, stop being hard headed. We hyhpothesize here often with "what if" scenarios." This ain't no different.



    You can't be serious. Look at celebrity endorsements as they relate to sports. It's a form or propaganda used to sell a lot of things. It works.


    Sincere congrats on the win too. Bama's all that, and then some.

    Well, like I said, they couldnt afford one anyway.

    Oh and what would make him leave? Lets say the 20 mil cs claims is correct, the chance to make that back in 2 years is a good incentive.

    Is his name going to be on the dealership? Seems odd for a non operator.
