You have to remember why he left LSU though.
Not for a challenge. Not to try the NFL. But because the team went 9-3 and lost a bowl game and the fans started bitching loudly. He didnt like it. Figured they couldn't be satisfied.
He hasn't gone through that at UA yet. When he does it will be 10x worse. Lose three or four and that will do it. Lose to us and that will do it. They will turn on him. They already have turned to the "this is bama, we win just cause" attitude. Heard one on the talk radio Friday say "saban didn't make bama, bama made saban. Don't never forget that".
1980 - 2008 didn't happen.
