SABAN TO TEXAS?

MEDIA HAS NO SHAME...

OR DO FANS HAVE NO SENSE?

 

   

   Nick Saban is going to Texas?  Right, and I'm going to crowned the King of England this weekend. Try to make it if you can, the Queen is serving free Guinness and single malt to commemorate the event. Jimmy Sexton leaking "information" about his client?  If Nick Saban wins a third national championship at Alabama this season we should just give him the keys to the Federal Reserve Bank and a huge shopping basket and give him a day to fill and refill it with hundred dollar bills. Nick Saban is not going to Texas and push Mack Brown out of a job. Nick Saban is not going to Texas even if grand old man of Longhorn football retires or is fired. No disrespect to all my Texas buddies but why trade in a Maserati for a VW rabbit? If Nick Saban actually has 'special problems' at Alabama what would he have at Texas. He'd have the he same problems with people who actually have real money. Not YellowFellow money but money that can buy your entire state and have lots left over. About the only problems I've seen Coach Nick have is drunk female fans at the Tuscaloosa. The only special problem Nick will have if he wins that third national championship is what does he do with all that new money and where does he take the program next season?

 

   

Sexton casts a considerable shadow in the NCAA

   Sexton is just out there making money for his client and himself. Write this down - if Coach wins number three he'll be the first college coach to earn over 10 million dollars a year - ever year for he next decade or until Lake Burton siren song calls him home. I'm rolling around on the floor laughing at national media people who try to sell this story. The only person happier than these media clowns is Les Miles. Miles reportedly has a contract that requires him to be the highest paid coach in the NCAA. If that happens then Miles may not be the best coach in the NCAA but he might be the smartest in contract negotiations.

 

     It never fails that these stories appear the week of a huge game. As Captain Picard  on Startrek might say, "make it so number one". And Jimmy Sexton goes out to spreads the Gospel of disinformation. Let me say that he does it as well as anyone can. Give credit to Saban to making sure the focus remains on the field and not on HDTV. I think the process has a lot more facets than on the football field. I think that Coach and Sexton have a process making money. Lots and lots of money. Nothing wrong with that. Nick Saban is the best financial investment the Capstone has made in a long time. He is grossly underpaid. He's worth ten times what's on the check he gets every week.  I can't imagine the amount of sef induced pressue Saban causes. My best hunch is none at all. He may feel more pressure during a television interview at halftime than he does inflicting the process on the rest of the football world. Saban is the Einstein of football. He is a freak of nature. He does exactly what my golf coach tells me to do. Think about the next shot. Learn from the last shot but you can't change that one about the last one you hit.  He's happy when his players argue about what play to call when a game is well in hand. Why? He said it told him the players are still in the game thinkng about what comes next and not what has already happened.

 

     I hope no Alabama fans think he is leaving. After all that's not the next game. That violates the process. Roll Tide.
