    ...

    Saban will not make the same mistake with Jimbo. Like Saban said, sometimes the best job is done when you don't have the experienced players.
     
  3. Thats a good ending, sounds like Bruce jumped the gun on getting rid of those guys.

    It was Bum Phillips who said "There are only two kinds of coaches. Those who have been fired and those who are waiting to get fired."

    I Read that in the advertiser this morning. I also didn't know Belichick was younger than Saban.

    Bum might not have been the greatest coach around but he was definately quotable. When asked if he was afraid Earl Campbell would get tired from carrying the ball 30 or so times a game Bum said, "No, the football is not that heavy."

    Bum was classic!

    I swear to this day he didn't know a lick about football from just looking at him.

    ahh the best was when someone snagged his hat while he was heading to locker room and he flipped them off, on camera. was great.

    still stupid how networks have to BLURRRR a person's finger yet people can say what they want and appear half naked on regular tv.
