I think Saban is a purist and he can help fix it if they let him.

What we’ve learned is that ‘College Football’ cannot govern itself.

Developing a model is one thing, but taking on Corporate America a.k.a. TVGuys, and the political influence they have in Congress will be a high hurdle……. and let’s not forget those pesky State Politicians and those self serving Conference Commissioners.

It’s a very different world that Ole Nick and this Billionaire Oil Guy are are about to step into…….. where reasoning and right sit in the back seat while POWER a.k.a. MONEY gets to choose.

I suspect the outcome will be just another Margaret Mitchell novel……..

True, but not a world in which Saban hasn't stepped in before.

Saban knows how to build a team…….. so far he’s recruited a multi-billionaire and the top politician in the nation.

We’ll see……. :wink:

My guess is that the Conference Commissioners just got smoked out and have been whispering in Saint Nick’s ear. Appears to me that they just got TRUMPED.

It’s really important that the right people lead this…… and the Conference Commissioners ain’t on the list. We already know how it’s been managed and the results of their doings.

I'm still shocked about my experience with sitting next to Tubberville on a flight from Vegas to Atlanta.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

I’m certain a candid conversation with a man of his experience and background would not only raise an eyebrow, but also drop a jaw. One of those perception versus reality moments.

:shock:
