They Never Cease to Amaze

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. The girls and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with all of Kerrie's family and are dreading getting up in the morning. I'll have pictures up of the weekend in a day or so. I actually wasn't going to post anything until I got the pictures ready but this article got my attention and left me shaking my head.

Agent Denies Saban Rumors - Alabama Head Coach Job

It seems no matter how often Alabama looks to fire their coach, they always seem to believe every top-tier coach will be clamoring to come to Tuscaloosa. When Fran left a few years back it was Butch Davis, Frank Beamer, Steve Spurrier, and the like. Fast forward a few years and here we go again. In the last week, I have heard Saban and Steve Spurrier (again). Did I mention that Shula hasn't even been fired yet?

Although I am a diehard LSU fan, I am originally from Tuscaloosa and would really like for them to be successful (except, obviously for one weekend a year). But until they get off the non-stop coaching carousel, they are never going to attract a top-tier coach (or top-notch recruits for that matter - a little hard for a coach to recruit if he can't even say for sure that he will be attending the University next season).

Unfortunately, the high-horse (and delusional) attitudes of the University will continue to believe that Alabama is currently a national powerhouse and continue to believe the assumption that top coaches should be honored to have the privilege to coach at Alabama. Until they realize that the reverse is true, I don't see anything changing in the near future. Nothing changing, that is, except for the head coach.
