    Saban hired Kiffin and Sarkesian because he knew they would owe him big time. He could kick them around at practice and sidelines and they would have to take it. Watch how he will kick around Sarkisian. It won’t be pretty. Saban will leave for the pros this year.

    Saban gave him his walking papers. Missed the team bus and was late to a press conference. He told a reporter while house hunting in FLA. that working for Saban feels like dog years. Lol. 3yrs@ Bama feels lime 21

    I believe in 2nd chances but within reason. You don’t let a drunk driver off with a finger wag. You don’t let a fired drunk of a head coach OC the NCAA championship game as a 2nd chance. That 2nd chance would be more like being the locker room guy. There are a million or so coaches more deserving. Saban sucks in my book.

    #7 What’s the urgency to leave Alabama a week before the National Championship game? Was he that miserable working for Saban? It’s not like Florida Atlantic couldn’t wait a week. Good riddance you flake!
    From T. Peterson: I believe this was Saban’s decision, not Lane’s.
