    I keep seeing Saban lumped in with Petrino

    now I know that Saban was a lying scumbag but there are major differences:

    - Saban knew what he was getting into, he had to be coerced into taking the job

    - Saban tried to make it work

    - Saban had an amicable relationship with his players and had the ability to succeed

    Petrino was way out of his element and the Falcons actually got lucky to be rid of him so quickly

    You are right that they are lucky to be rid of him before he could do more damage. I heard that Petrino has signed no less than THREE different contracts in the last 13 months. KEEP FAR AWAY FROM HIM. I also found that Razorback cheer they were doing at the press conference quite disturbing.

    good word for it, he looked so stupid and uncomfortable

    maybe even he couldn't quite believe what had gone down

    I hope like hell that Singletary gets the job, he and the Falcons would be great for each other

    Not to mention that Saban actually stayed longer than 12 games.

    I think he is going to make a heck of a coach. Talk about an intense guy. I was hoping for him to be our coach before we chose Cam..

    He and Saban are liars. Saban did atleast stay until after the season, but, then snuck out on the team. Their both jerks for how they did things. From some of the press down here, there's some AL people who are already catching on to his junk.

    Saban kept us competitive, but he realized he wasn't going to succeed in the pros and left. I respect that more than him staying for 2007 and falling into an early season hole before a winning streak thats too late.

    Petrino, though, is much worse. Leaving them out to dry in the middle of the season, in the middle of the week.

    Saban built a Top 5 defense using scrap heap players, flat out the man can coach.

    People forget he cut most of Wannys' draft mistakes and still fielded a very competitive team.

    yup that is the folly of lumping him in with Petrino

    if Saban could have acted more like a human being, cooled his jets, tempered his ego and given Meuller more PP latitude, he could have been our Cowher

    once Lane Kiffin quits, it might be decades before a college coach is given the reins
