Yeah..I saw that thread too. Good one and it was breaking news then. This one here is just an update.
I'll add Petrino to that list with pleasure ;) but didn't Saban turn Bama down quite harshly? Check this out: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/football/16191249.htm [Miami Herald]
He did yeah but I don't think he was in their top 3....
To get him now would mean that he would have to quit the NFL, which wasn't going to happen....
Spurrier was a pipe dream. I think everyone but Alabama fan saw it.
Petrino sees that the easier way to the BCS is through Louisville in the Big East, but the way to a National championship is probably through Alabama first.
Rich Rodriguez is a WVU guy and always has been. I was frankly surprised that he had accepted the deal in principle.
