Title: Nick Saban
Post by: bones129 on November 30, 2013, 11:57:04 PM
After today, Nick should retire from coaching when he's done with 'Bama's bowl game. He will not win another natty. ESPN should hire him to replace Mark May.

He has a real rough time with good qbs.  Luckily for him, these are quite rare in the SEC.

Wise words, Master :Yoda:

For those gnashing teeth over the Big XII title possibilities evaporating - Saban has a track record of struggling in year 1; and he is occasionally susceptible to the upset (witness Auburn's improbable field goal return for a game-winning TD the other day). To me, that means (if our coaching staff can get it together  :crossfingers: ) in '14 or '15 (before Our Guy graduates) we have a chance to win or co-win the Big XII even with Saban in Austin.

If he comes, the CTR will be glorious forever more.  :ksu:

Post by: AbeFroman on December 05, 2013, 11:23:19 AM
It's a win-win

Either he dominates at Texas, the Big 12 is then regarded by the media as equal if not better than the SEC, windfall results in higher pre-season rankings for other Big 12 teams, which then lets Big 12 teams populate the rankings even if they lose a couple (SEC effect)

He doesn't dominate at Texas and every time we beat him the media gets all up on our nuts because we beat the all and powerful Saban.

Read this, and although Austin is far and away a better place than Berkeley, there are some similarities between the communities and institutions:

gE aside it's not really that crazy, at least the game. He's expended tremendous energy this year imo to get Bama into the CFP and it's quickly showing that while bama is the standard, they aren't the only ones anymore (though 99% of any schools would want that) . 2020 was his last natty, and 2021 was the last time they even made the title game. I think he's bowing out at the right time, before he is unable to keep it going.

Saban blaming the NIL and the state of recruiting seems pretty hypocritical to me. When he took the LSU job, and the Bama job, there is no way he did so without full participation in the underbelly of SEC recruiting practices. 

I’d bet he is afraid Alabama’s inability to maintain a clear lead when the differentiator is no longer “willingness to cheat” and instead “ability to pay.”  Competing in a free market instead of a black market requires different resources in order to stay ahead.

Certainly he’s very likely to also be upset with a system where the personnel are less like indentured servants or enlisted troops, and instead posses the same freedom of movement as he enjoys and all other Americans enjoy.  Those liberties of staff members can be very difficult for men of his generation to accept.

Alabama had 25,000 students when he got there, and 80% of them were instate students.  Now Alabama has 40,000 students and 60% of them are out-of-state students. The biggest student recruiting weekends are football weekends. 

Just in core tuition dollars (before fees and other charges) that's $22,000 more per student per academic year for every out-of-state.

No doubt that it was a huge economic benefit for the University.  Probably a horrible decision for many of those kids to pay that much for an Alabama degree when almost all of them could have gotten just as good of an education for a fraction of the cost if they had stayed in-state.

Offer Kirby Smart $20 million and force him to say no. Then, Georgia will need to give him something close to that, which means they'll be using that $10 million on Kirby when they could have used it elsewhere.

Then, offer another proven guy $10-12 million and take whoever you want because the vast majority of these coaches have outsized egos that won't let them think they can't achieve something close to what Saban did given the resources Bama has.

I was just getting ready to say that I think Norvell will take the job considering NCAA just announced probation for Florida State yesterday. However, FSU just announced an 8 year extension for Norvell. That means he, Sark, and Lanning all got new contracts in the 48 hours that Saban has been gone. This leaves DeBoer and Tommy Rees.

I find it really hard to believe that they'll hire Tommy Rees less than a year from him essentially being run out of Notre Dame as the offensive coordinator. Certainly they can find someone with a better resume to take the job.

Amazing...

I worked in the athletic department at an Ivy League school in the early 2000s and I can say with 100 percent certainty that there were less than 5 pitchers in the entire league who could hit 95 mph with a single pitch during the course of the entire season (let alone consistently) and there were probably only a handful who could hit 90 mph on the regular. That dork asserting that he was consistently getting base hits off pitchers throwing 95 mph is beyond laughable.

i think he gets a fixer-upper type show on the Magnolia Network
“Savin’ with Saban” -join LHC Nick Saban as he works to rehabilitate blighted homes in the Tuscaloosa area.  Each week the legendary former head coach will rehabilitate a home slotted for demo and save a family from being destroyed.

An intriguing side plot would be watching saban’s character arc as he gradually comes to realize that 100% of his clientele don’t have millions of dollars to spend. Like maybe to drive this point home in the first episode a famished Nick Saban suggests they order a pizza and then when he says to the crew guy “how much do I owe ya for the pie?” The guy jokingly says “20 thou(sand American dollars)” and nicks just like “ok” bc he has absolutely no clue what stuff costs and 20 large is pocket change to him

Saban buys some land in bama and tries to make money hobby farming it with some good ole boys doing all the contract work.

Ms Terry opens a restaurant on the property that is a big hit and Nick has to go there most nights to socialize and hob knob with the guests but he absolutely hates it.

"I told you Terry, I have to check on the new process barn for the goats tonight. Jethro says it should be finished and ready for them to move in"

"But niccckkk, Jefferson Cumworthy and Hudson Prumphey will be there tonight with all their friends. And do you remember lil Kayleeiiih, ole Henderson's daughter, well it's her 18th birthday tonight and she wants to see you"

"Alright Ms Terry, keep them entertained until 7:30 and I'll be there"

WHAT’S SABAN CRAVIN’?

In this series an eclectic mix of aspiring chefs compete each week to prepare the perfect dish for Nick Saban. At the beginning of the episode Nick Saban will give some kind of cryptic statement to the group. Then over the course of the episode each contestant will have the opportunity to go on a 1-on-1 “date” with him where they can ask him any kind of stuff as long as it’s not food or drink related. At the end of the episode each contestant presents their dish to Nick Saban. If by chance a contestant guesses what Nick Saban is cravin’ that week, they automatically advance to the next round (even if the food was awful) and for the non-automatic qualifiers Nick Saban will eliminate the person whose food sucked the worst, and maybe some bonus prize for whoever makes the best dish that week.

Winner gets, I dunno? Executive chef gig at like Cracker Barrel or whatever

Post by: Kid In the Hall on January 19, 2024, 12:12:18 PM
The downfall can obviously happen to any program...

Not counting interims, there were 7 Bama coaches between Bryant and Saban and you could easily argue that they whiffed on 5 of those 7. I'd argue Bill Curry and Gene Stallings were hits and the rest where whiffs (I had forgotten about how Bama tried to screw over Curry, which is why he left after 3 years to take the Kentucky job - oopsie - and then Stallings came in). That's a pretty poor percentage considering their resources.

Similarly, Florida has had six coaches since Spurrier left and you could easily say they whiffed on five of the six with Meyer being the exception (Napier probably has one more year left before he's fired).

This hiring coaches stuff is a lot harder than the perception (even when you're rolling in $$$$$) and there's way more duds than dudes.

As a KU fan, believe me that I've experienced all the downside of the coaching carousel. The years between Mangino and LL were brutal. KSU kinda has lucked out with CK following Snyder. KU has also lucked out with its run of basketball coaches during my entire lifetime. It's going to be weird when KU reverts to mediocrity, but it seems inevitable.

That’s very good and might be true.

Nick has all kinds of side gigs including partner in a series of Benz dealerships.

An aside. There was a story about a young man who worked at a restaurant in Tuscaloosa who walked to work every day. Then one day the managers called him out to tell him someone noticed him walking to work in his uniform almost every day and they had (anonymously) bought him a car. A nice late model Maxima.

If you look at a map and kind of know where Nick’s French Chateau style house is on Lake Tuscaloosa and you plotted the fastest route to the Alabama Football offices, past that restaurant. You can see how it might have been Nick.
