Saban to WVU?!

With Rich Rodriguez leaving West Virginia to become, at long last, the new coach at Michigan, the question now becomes who will be West Virginia's new coach, and it appears that a possible candidate is... that's right, kids...

Nick Saban.

Sources close to University President Mike Garrison have informed WBGV that Nick Saban's agent has contacted WVU regarding our vacant head-coaching position.

These sources tell us that Saban is extremely unhappy in Tuscaloosa and has failed to recapture the situation he had in Baton Rouge with LSU. The purpose of the agent's call was to express initial interest in the position and to have WVU athletics put together a compensation package enough to lure Saban from Alabama.

LOL!! Just when you thought Bobby Petrino might take over the title of "most blatantly disloyal sleazeball coach east of the Mississippi Dennis Erickson," King Saban reasserts his claim to the throne...

I can't stand Saban, but I can understand the "extremely unhappy" in Tuscaloosa thing... most miserable two years of my life.

[Mad Max, Esquire]

Let me guess. Alabama is calling Bobby Petrino right now?

[Sandy Underpants]

Why does Saban have any clout at all? He led LSU to a national championship no one recognizes, turned the Miami Dolphins into the worst club in the NFL and continued Alabama's stroll through mediocrity?

[Sandy Underpants]

...that wasn't a question.

Although no Tiger fans have yet risen to the bait, I feel honor-bound to disagree with you, Sandy, on the "national championship no one recognizes" swipe. As I always say, LSU's national title in 2003 is just as legitimate as USC's, and vice versa. The Tigers and Trojans were both national champs that year. And I'd say the same thing if the roles were reversed (LSU as AP champ, USC as BCS/coaches). We might both feel that USC would have beaten LSU in a head-to-head showdown, but that's subjective and hypothetical; as the system actually played itself out, both of them won national championships that should indisputably be "recognized" by everyone.

Nick Saban should change his name to Dick, since that's what people call him anyway.

What in the world are you talking about "a championship that nobody recognizes"? The BCS system was implemented so that there will be 1 undisputed champ. LSU is the undisputed 2003 college football national champion. Since the introduction of the BCS the AP poll's pick as national champion is not legitimate. If you do not win the BCS title game you are not the national champion. That is it period, paragraph, end of story. Quit denigrating the efforts of the 2003 BCS National Champions with all this USC garbage.
