My opinion is that I would throw that ball all day long, with a match up of O.J., Cooper, or Norwood, (last year), on a 5'9" defender. Golson made a great play and that is what wins games at crunch time. I won't write off a great player like O.J. after a bad hair day. There were too many other things in the game, all easily correctable, that would have helped win the game.
They will get it right.
See you in the play offs.
And here we are!!!

Right! I'm glad Mal knew it would be a home run, and I'm glad he was right. So far, it looks like a grand slam, in the bottom of the 9th, in the 7th game of the World Series.
When Mal made the hire, I remember the local radio talk show host here, preaching to the Bama fans, saying: "You're not gonna like what you get." Well, 8 years later, we like what we got, thank you very much.

I was responding to Prothro's comment that the agent wanted the buyout. They accepted it, but they sure as hell didn't want it. I pay $2.45 per gallon for gasoline, but I don't want to. I do it because that is the price I "must" pay. I guess I define "wanted" differently than you. No problem. ROLL TIDE!
I also hope we never have to find out about CNS' contract.

Colorado State actually made $1,500,000 on the Coach Mac hire. They paid him $5.5 mil over the 4 years, and got $7 mil in buyout money. All of that $1.5 mil profit comes out of Coach Mac's pocket, since he is paying them $2,000,000 over time. Coach Mac rescued their program from the dumpster, and they thank him by charging him $2,000,000 to leave. These numbers don't take into consideration the money Bama paid them to come to Tuscaloosa and play, the extra tickets and concessions they sold at home games, the extra royalties on gear, the extra donations they must have received when they improved their record, etc., etc.
Good points. CSU came out like a Bandit. But Coach Mac's agent probably negotiated, and wanted, the $7 million buyout. And a deal's a deal. I understand that a deal is a deal. No problem. But, why would Coach Mac's agent want the buyout? He would negotiate for the guaranteed contract, but the buyout would be asked for by the school. The penalty buyout is what Coach Mac had to give up to get his guaranteed contract. Taking a long term guaranteed contract, offset by a large penalty buyout is almost like betting that you will fail. You will only benefit from the long term contract guarantee, if you aren't doing well, and the school wants to get rid of you. If you are successful, some other school is going to want to hire you and that buyout will be a stumbling block. At the top of the chain, CNS has a large guaranteed contract, with no penalties for leaving early. That is the way his original contract was written, and my guess is that it is still that way. He can coach at some other school, or go to the lake and watch ducks squat in the yard, anytime he wants to. His paycheck will stop, but he won't have to pay a buyout. And if Bama decides they no longer want his service, they will just send him the remainder of his pay checks until the end of his contract. OHS NO, what did we get ourselves into?? Bottom line, I am glad that UF worked it out and got CJM. One of my favorite coaches.

Wow. How times have changed in 8 years. Remember what a stink the media made when Bama paid Saban a kings ransom of approx 4 million in 2007? Now you get 4.5 million for winning 9 games and going to a bowl. It's a good thing he was not at Nebraska with those 9 wins. 9 wins just gets the Huskers pissed off.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall during that encounter. Yep. Me too. I'll bet the look on Saban's face was the same as if they offered him a tissue that they had just used to blow their nose.

Last year the KICK SIX won it. This year the AU red zone offense lost it by needing to KICK FIVE field goals. I thought it was funny that AU brought the football used on last year's kick six play. They offered it back to Bama, since it was our ball. Saban told them they could keep it. My guess is that he told them "where" they could keep it.
