You surely are correct on that!! Masterful play calling and execution.
Now, I see that Alabama supposedly is offering Saban mega-millions to come and coach the Tide. Seems to me Bama's AD ought to be on a plane to Boise to offer Chris Peterson a couple of million (Peterson's current contract is $500,000). While this is his first year as head coach, he's been running this offense for six years so he certainly has a track record.
Most creative play calling I've seen in years.
Any team hiring Saban is getting a money whore. He has no loyalty AT ALL. Just ask Michigan State. And LSU. And probably the Dolphins. If he goes to Bama and succeeds, he will be gone within 3 years to the highest bidding NFL team.
He was fired in November...apparently not PAC-10 HC material as he didn't win "enough" games. Seems the boosters didn't like him because he was shy and aloof and didn't do the backslapping that was expected of him.
I think there's a whole lot more to coaching than just X's and O's, unfortunately. Hopefully, Dennis Erickson knows the score (pardon the pun).
