Re: Saban meeting with Alabama today. WH will not negotiate his Dolphins contract

Jimbo and Muschamp on the way to meet Nick.

evidently you, Will Muschamp, and the University of Alabama failed to read the fine print in Will Muschamp's employment agreement.

Just got the word. Jimbo and Muschamp on the way to meet Nick. Bama has offered enough money to hire the best stall possible.

You offer no sources and your credibility is zero.

if our fanbase feels somewhat scorned I suppose its understandable but this is going to be a soap opera of epic proportions if he takes over the capstone.

its almost like reading a good mystery novel and wanting to skip ahead to the end. this irks of poor taste given the luxuries WH afforded him in this deal and that loyalty to him is completely discarded. thats the part that reeks to high heaven.

that is my point--there is no honor left in sports anymore. If Bama was not offering the world on a platter to Nicky poo he would stick it out like a man in Miami and finish was he tried to start--the Dolphins have talent on D and is they could get their running back to stop smokin' the stuff........

Actually he is in the red, red. He needs to work his way up to zero credibility.

Hey Caddy good to see you, I went to the Cotton Bowl. It was fun watching an SEC Win..
Great game.

yes this guy is clueless, Saban IS going to Bama but he is not on a plane. Saban is in Davie meeting with Wayne as we speak (as reported on Miami Radio), probably to tell him he is leaving but this guy is a Bama fan making things up.

Yeah, Jimbo just said 'To hell with the Sugar Bowl.' But apparently Sexton has this fella on speed-dial, red. Lets him know whenever something goes down so he can spread it all over message boards.

im going to read too much into it but watching nick saban on the NFL sidelines is not the nick saban we saw. he looks defeated and uninspired.

Turning your back on the owner who offered you the top gig in the NFL as far as luxuries/total control/location etc 2 years into a 5 year deal is bad business in my opinion. surely he must do whats best for his family but hes set for life already and could return to college at the end of 5 years and salaries will be that high anyhow. I would think just speaking as a man, not a coach or anything, that he would have a bit more integrity to himself. At least I would. that I am certain. The NFL was his dream job so giving up on your so-called dream so soon in an ideal situation makes me question this even more. he's just all over the map.

I've noticed the exact same thing. He almost looks like he doesn't care.

BTW, I think that support for the Aubies in the Iron Bowl just doubled.

Re: Saban to be offered 40-50 million contract...

red55 said: ↑

I can't remember either, but it was 7 figures not 8 figures. You boys have raised the "huge" level. :wink:

That was in his original contract, but not in his final contract. They replaced it with the annuity. Both contracts had a handful of incentive bonuses if Saban won the Division, SEC or BCS titles and merit bonuses if his graduation rates were in the SEC top six and doubled if it was in the top two.

But the Nick experience taught him that even giving a coach everything he wanted in a contract wouldn't keep him from breaking it. So Les Miles is saddled with a $500,000 buyout ($1.5 million if he goes to Michigan).

This is why I think he will turn down the Bama job.
He could've had everything he wanted here at LSU.
Unless he doesn't like or is unhappy with the NFL?
Surely he knew what he was getting himself into after coaching in the NFL before?

Even if he goes to Bama I have also stated that just because he signs doesn't mean he will honor the length of the contract either.
