"Report: Saban, 'Bama in talks for an extension"

[bamaphil]

Finebaum and ESPN are playing the Bama and Texas fan bases for ratings.  Nothing to see here, move along.  

Finebaum doesn't play that game and he rips guys who do. I have been listening to him a long time & he is very careful with his "inside" info.


 

Finebaum works for the evil empire now.  He doesn't make all his own decisions anymore.

I can assure you Finebaum is his own man. Just listen to him.

Battle has no strong statement about Saban staying.

Would he be considered an inside source?

Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron says he doesn't believe coach Nick Saban will leave for Texas.

''To me, he's not leaving. That's my personal opinion,'' McCarron said Wednesday. ''I can't speak on Coach Saban. I stay out of his business. But if I had a pick, I'd say he's not leaving.''

CNS is out recruiting for Alabama. Keep in mind there is a limited amount of time allowed to recruit before the dead period begins. The dead period starts on 12/16. I do not expect any news on CNS contract being signed or agreed to until at least then. His focus will turn to bowl practice at that time. If he is human Christmas with his family will consume some of his time. His contract may not be addressed until after the bowl game.

Recruiting dead periods:
Dec 16 - Dec 19
Dec 23 - Jan 3
Jan 13 - Jan 16
Feb 3 -  Feb 6

True, but let's not bury our heads in the sand (a metaphor  ). 
Coach Saban's representative is listening to the UT offer before negotiating his UA contract.  The offer will be interesting; hope we hear what it is!

You can bet Jimmy Sexton is working his tail off trying to get CNS the best contract possible.

Yep.  That's his job.

I wonder what Saban says to any recruit who asks if he's leaving.

I wonder what Saban says to any recruit who asks if he's leaving.

Several of the recruits he has visited this week have told reporters he told them he is staying.

That's the best news yet.

Cameron Robinson is a 5 star Off Tackle from West Monroe, LA who committed to Bama a few weeks ago.

When people hit me with that "Your coach is going to Texas" I just look at them laugh & say "No, you just want him to go to Texas"

[ricky023]

Amen you men hang in there. Your right Cameron they want him to go to Texas but when he is coaching in Spring they will have somewhere else they are toying with. When you have a fabulous coach you have Great lies to follow. I saw them on FOX 6 this morning at noon Mickey said he was going to Texas. lol RTR!

I agree that Sexton is using rumors to garner the best contract for his client.

But,  I have been wondering about the realationship bettween CNS and Battle. Is there a negative undercurrent there? Do the two get along well? If there are issues,  I think the BOT would cut Battle loose before allowing a problem to fester between Saban and Battle.

Lots of speculation.

There is so much crap fed to us during the offseason.  Writers and sports announcers do anything to keep our attention.  I'm not buying the hype; Coach Saban is just a man being offered a job.

I'll let this crap pass by and await the games.  I barely can stomach the speculation and panic.  My suggestion is that you just try to enjoy Alabama football.  Let the lawyers do the worrying.
