"People, history, legacy -- and Saban -- helped lure Lance Thompson back"

Dropping into Huntsville in the midst of a month-long, 11,000-mile recruiting odyssey, Alabama assistant football coach Lance Thompson already had an audience full of converts.

By evening's end, he had sufficiently enthused the pro-Alabama faction of the Huntsville Quarterback Club and even managed to sufficiently entertain the anti-Tide side.

The gregarious Thompson, who coaches outside linebackers for the Tide, is in his third term at Alabama, and his third time working with Nick Saban. (He was on Mike Dubose's Alabama staff for two years, and with Saban for two at LSU.)

He left Alabama to coach at Tennessee -- "I lost my mind, lost my way," he laughed ...

The rumor I heard at the time was that he left because he was having an affair with a co-ed and his wife told him had to leave T-Town or she would divorce him.  Maybe the co-ed graduated.

I have absolutely no idea if any of this is even remotely true.  I hope he doesn't like to ride motorcycles though.

Rumors?  PLEEEEEEEEEASE.

There are some widely reported facts in the rumor:

1.  His wife filed for divorce just before he left for UT.
2.  Saban made a counter offer, but he still went to work for Kiffen.  (Why would any man with choices do that?)
3.  They later reconciled once he got to UT.

The rumor part (as far as I know it was just rumor) was the infidelity.

All I'm saying is I hope he doesn't ride her around on his motorcycle if he strays.

Yep, the reports were everywhere that he could not keep his pants zipped up and he had to get out of Dodge, quick.
