Saban rumors continue...

It was pretty cool.

About 20 minutes of the Monday NIght Football commentary was all about The University of Alabama.

People bitch and moan that we're "forgotten" and that we have "lost our place on the national scene" yet here we are, in the midst of an NFL game with significant playoff implications, and Alabama is on everyone's tongue.

Even Don Shula was talking about us!

Not that he had nice things to say (who could blame him though).

Here is what I saw in the Palm Beach Post today:

Saban admits he misses college

MIAMI GARDENS — Despite saying last week "I will not be the Alabama coach," Nick Saban's possible courting by the Crimson Tide was a big topic on the Monday Night Football telecast.

Sideline reporter Michelle Tafoya reported that "sources" said Saban was still at the top of Alabama's wish list. And while Saban feels tremendous loyalty to Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga, Saban told the MNF crew he misses the teaching that goes on at the college level.

Saban also refused to say he will not listen to any offer Alabama might make at the conclusion of the season.

Former Dolphins coach Don Shula, whose son, Mike, was fired last month by the Crimson Tide, said his feelings about Alabama were "bad" and said he hopes Saban stays.

"Nick is working for the Dolphins and he's committed to this job," Shula said. "I think that coaches always want to keep the door open, but I believe Nick was hired to do a job and he has a lot of respect for Wayne and the organization.

"I think they have a good team here and he'll live up to his contract here and not worry about Alabama."

The rumors wont die.

There sure is a LOT of smoke for there to be no fire...

January 1 we will start to see what is really going on here.

ON a less positive note, the Jets win last night all by shut the Tennessee Titans out of the playoffs.

I don't think they are "mathematically" eliminated yet, but its only a matter of time now. They need too much help, and to beat the New England Patriots Sunday.

Hell of a run though boys, start the season 0-5 and get to 8-7...I'm impressed.

VY is the future of that team.

Is NS the future of Alabama?

Stay Tuned...
