NICK SABAN’S AGENT CONTACTED WEST VIRGINIA?
No fucking way: West By God Virginia is suggesting that WVSports.com (Rivals’ WVU board) is reporting that Nick Saban’s agent contacted West Virginia about the opening left by Rich Rodriguez’s departure.
4 million dollars buys you dick these days.
EDIT/UPDATE/ETC. WBGV reported this first, no WVSports, who confirmed the story, most likely from the same source. As with any of these stories, be ever skeptical, but with Petrino’s rain of back-daggers on Tuesday, perhaps Nick Saban and agent felt the need to flex their skills just to show the new kid in town who the real tiger-style master is.

Lest ye forget….if there isnt a Manning at QB, we dont count Ole Miss for that year, and from my view, your they are all outta Mannings for at least 20 yrs…
The Rebels improved their on-field record against Alabama to just 8-41-2. Ole Miss received a forfeit win over Alabama in 1993. But four of Mississippi’s on-field wins over Alabama have come with a Manning at quarterback and the family, including Peyton Manning while at Tennessee, is 7-3 as starters against
the Crimson Tide….but if Eli decided to come back, I’d take my chances against him again….

I refuse to acknowledge the existence of Vanderbilt or Ole Miss as SEC schools til they beat Alabama in the current 5 yr span……
2003:
Ole Miss 43
Bama 28

WV Gov. Jeff Manchin on Saban staying put and the baseless internet rumors.

Well, one thing is for sure…The SEC is strong, and all I see if coaches dying to get in, and the ones that get fired go to another SEC school where a spot was made open for them….This year, I think the coaching lineup is as strong as it has ever been in the SEC….if LSU can pull this off, that means the conference can add one more “Coach with a MNC” on his resume….
bringing the total to 5 out of 10 coaches that have won National Championships…..thats pretty competitive,plus Mark Richt will more than likely get one if he can get past Auburn and Fla next yr…

You know what’s cool? When you know something is accurate and you get to see folks going on about how it ain’t and what not. Awesome. Everyone should try it sometime.

You people do realize this isn’t true, right
Somehow I don’t think so. Were talking about ignorant Auburn and Mountaineer assholes who have nothing better to do but worry about the future of the TIDE.

Damn, you guys have gotten to where you’ll post anything. This one didn’t pass the laugh-out-loud test.

he has looked fairly haggard and exasperated in all the recent photos he’s been in…..I’m sure he could use the break, but would WVU fans be any different than Bama fans if he were to jump? My guess is no.

He has no buyout. He can just pull of the underpinning, put the wheels back on and drive away in his house like any other bammer.
