Are you kidding me? His AGENT is trying to tell Saban NOT to take a $4.1 mil a YEAR deal?

Stop for a second and consider how absolutely asinine that sounds. Think hard.

I have to agree 100%, Sexton would be the #1 person pushing him towards the bigger money since thats how he makes his.

Sexton just did Spurrier's deal - nothing better than a HUGE deal than another HUGE deal a month later...

It's Christmas time at the Sexton Ranch...

From my friend Jeremy:

here's the latest that we've heard here at P & G.....

the dolphins offered him 4.1 million a year and he is all but sure signing the deal.....

supposedly his inside circle of friends and family is trying to convince him to stay...ie, his wife, kids, jimmy sexton....

i really think that all the rumors about him and his wife being on the outs is true and he may want to get the hell out of town, but ya never know....

i'll let everyone know if i hear more here at the office, but these aren't rumors, this info is coming from the higher ups on the board of supervisors and TAF....so it's probably a done deal that he's gone.....but let's keep the faith...

i also heard something about a press conference at 2:30 but i don't see that happening....we'll see

Especially when Sexton gets another client, Bobby Petrino hired here shortly after getting Nick his $4.1M in Miami.

why would TAF and "higher ups" give inside potentially harmful info to your friend "jeremy" to then be leaked to you and put on an internet forum? Not very smart if it is the case.

Just saw three talking heads on ESPN discussing the Saban/Miami situation, all three said Saban would do great in Miami but why would he leave LSU. Let's hope he sees the same thing.
