now who does LSU go after? Mack Brown?...Butch Davis?....Houston Nutt? tongue.gif

I dont see how anybody could turn down that kind of money.

Why would LSU go after Houston Nutt with the big bucks considering his ho hum SEC record?????????????????

Besides ole Houston is all lined up for the AD job in the now not to distant future...which in turn will line all the fans up for more of the same for the next 30 to 40 years! graemlins/smack.gif graemlins/smack.gif graemlins/smack.gif

I meant I dont see how Saban could turn down the kind of money Miami offered him.

I dont think LSU will come knockin' on Houstons door but if we all chip in a little bit to help pay him maybe somebody else that wanted a 500 record in the SEC might. :rolleyes:

You guys think Saban will do good in the NFL?

I think he has a pretty good shot at it but Miami is a team in need of a lot.....a whole lot.

[Rattle-m-up™]

i was just jokin on the nutt thing...really who do you think LSU will go after...i personally think that they will go at Butch Davis pretty hard.....

Hard to say deerhunter, but I read someplace one time that historically most college coaches don't do to good when they move up to the pro's.

[deerhunter]

Spurrier sure did'nt fare to well.

Butch Davis sux to.

Didn't Marriucci(sp?) take the niners to the Super bowl though?

but don't forget that Saban was an assistant coach in the NFL before coming to College

[deerhunter]

Yeah, I think that will help him some what.
