Bama just made a huge splash on the college football landscape to make a triumphant return to big time elite program status. This is one of the biggest hires in years and what makes it even bigger is that they focused on Saban to the point that if they failed to pull him in than they would have lost a lot of face and taken many steps back in the SEC.Look for Bama to dramatically inprove just next year. They have enough talent, and with his ability, to win 9 games next year. Expect even bigger in 3 years. After that he'll probably go back to the pros to make some more money.
Go ahead and get ready for the photoshops of Saban wearing a houndstooth hat and leaning against a goal post. Bama fans are about to get crazy. In fact theyare already fanatical. But then who can blame them. They just hired a proven winner of a head coach who has a national championship ring from serving as the teams head coach not D-Line/Put Up The Team Coach.
This could also lead to some trouble for the Mississippi schools to keep recruits in state. They already lost a lot of kids to LSU when Saban coached there. Look for them to turn east as Saban takes adavantage of his Southern connections he made there.
The fun thing to come out of all of this will be the frustration it gives the coonies down in Baton Rouge. They've never really accepted Les Miles and always saw him as a step below Saban but they best they could get while Saban was at the pro level. Now Saban is their western conference rival and they'll get to look forward to facing him every year. This will undoubtably lead to a much shorter leash for him. He'll be the only coach to sit on the hot seat next year even after going to a BCS bowl game.
