Mal Moore stated he would only hire a "proven Winner" for head coach.

Nick Saban has a record of 91-42-1 and 1 shared national championship. 2 SEC championships.

Okay, well he is definitely a proven winner.

There is no doubt his college coaching reflects it.

Most people do great things on their way up in a career. Saban is not a spring chicken, not old, but he isn't on his way up in his career. He was just under .500 % in his two seasons as a pro coach.

A "proven loser" in the professional league.

How so if your such a great coach?

I mean the players are all professional football players right? Then if these players are the best of the best, and Saban is a super coach why wasnt he a "proven pro ball winner"?
He must be asking himself, "What the Hell Happened?" Well, I would.

Okay, move on.

He had no idea if he would retain his job in Miami, so he not only lied to protect his interest, he lied, and lied, and lied. Again, and again, and again. Well... Do I exaggerate?

This shows you how brilliant he is, he knew Alabama could not find a proven winner willing to risk his career at Alabama, so he led them on. Kept them hanging. Well, when the pro season was over, and the money offer peaked at 32 million, wham bam thank you ma'am. He was in tuscaloosa.

The bama fans gave him the Bear Bryant treatment, along with their own desperate trust that he will stay there and win. He is a proven winner after all. Well, that pro thing was just a pro thing!

Saban assembles the best staff that money can buy. ( funny how they don't do the same for UAB) Another story.

Now all Saban has to do is win! Win every game!

Well, that's what he said right?

He wanted to win every game. I know, I know, you cant hold him to it. But wait, is he or isn't he a liar?

okay, he isn't. So all he has to do is win every game, except an occasional stumble. But if you stumble, no National championship!

He only has 4 years to win one! Just 4 years! Nick saban has to win every SEC game, plus all non conference games, and beat the Auburn Tigers.

Any loss to Nick Saban spells doom for the tide and their trust in super coach Nick Saban.

Wouldn't Finebaum be licking his thin lips over that?

And to think they have a serious grasp for national championship hopes since Super coach Nick Saban is aboard. Wow, and all this with a team that finished off this past season 6-7.

Well, Saban has got to be a better coach than Shula. I think he will win more than Shula's last season, but if he is going win games like what they are expecting than he better not win less than 10 games a season.
