TSN: Saban taking a hard look at WVU

[Ogre]

Watch the shit hit the fan soon:

Nothing official, but here's the latest rumor from Morgantown - and it's a good one: Alabama head coach Nick Saban is taking a hard look at leaving Alabama after only one season to return home to West Virginia for the head coaching job at WVU.

Word is that Nick wants out of Tuscaloosa and the SEC - the Alabama situation is growing more political with each passing day and pressure is mounting for a quick turnaround, particularly on the heels of a disappointing first season for Saban as the Tide lost four straight to finish the year 6-6 (not a surprise, considering how much 'Bama's paying Nick). Nick Saban said before Sunday's 32nd PetroSun Independence Bowl game that it would be a "defining game" for his team - and it was as 'Bama defeated Colorado to finish the season with a 7-6 winning record.

Saban's Alabama contract, signed in June, contains no buyout clause to deter Nick from taking another job. He made $3.5 million in 2007, with the contract gradually increasing to $4.2 million annually for the final three years of the deal, which expires Jan. 31, 2015.

If Alabama fires Saban for reasons beyond violating terms of the contract, he would be paid the remainder of his salary. If he takes another job, he forfeits the remainder of that salary

... Also hearing there is growing discontent among WVU boosters and fans with the way the WVU administration (President Mike Garrison, Athletic Director Ed Pastilong) has handled the coaching situation and the search for Rich Rodriguez's replacement.

Does Christmas come late this year?

Wow.  Can you imagine the meltdown? 

(me talking to Bama fans)  "Well it's official now.  Your program isn't even on keel with the Big East.  How about you move on over to the Patriot League?"

I haven't said anything in hopes that I don't jinx anything, but WVU should have named a coach by now if they weren't waiting on someone.  We haven't even heard anyone in this State throw out that possibility because they are scared Sabban would shove a hot poker up their ass, but I have honestly in my own twisted mind thought about this for a week or so now.
I want to be on the tarmac in tuscalooser to see that plane leave if it does happen.

Could you IMAGINE the scene if Auburn fans showed up to the airport in Tuscaloosa to send him off....
