Nothing to do with Saban but funny nonetheless.

[nick saban] how do you convince a kid that you actually care about them and their future? [/nick saban]

[normal person with human feelings and emotions] well, Nick, the best thing is to genuinely care about the person and their future, not just act like it [/normal person with human feelings and emotions]

[nick saban] fuck that! what if I need to dump him from the roster in a year or two because he is not developing like I want or I find a player I like better on the recruiting trail? just send out 100- no! make it 105 letters, that's what a person who cares would do, right? [/nick saban]

Stud QB Swoopes has now committed to Texas, but the quote from his HS coach is worth noting here.

- Nick Saban recently connected with Swoopes for a telephone call. After missing on top targets in the 2012 class, Alabama has a big appetite for elite quarterbacks this year, so it's no surprise Saban is making a push for Swoopes. According to Wylie, he did most of the talking. "He (Swoopes) got about four words in, two of which were 'Yes, sir,'" Wylie said.

No way. I love the way the kid doesn't take himself too seriously.
"Well, I'm a ginger with an ugly mug - better make the most out of it!"

He was at the MSG watching the Knicks play later last week.

Nick Saban now the highest paid coach in NCAA
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama coach Nick Saban said he received overtures for other jobs after claiming the second national title in three years. Instead of bolting, he has received a raise and contract extension worth $5.62 million a year that he said represents his intention to finish his career in Tuscaloosa.

"From my standpoint, the acceptance of this extension represents our commitment ... to the University of Alabama for the rest of our career," Saban said. "We made that decision after the season when other people were interested."

The university's board of trustees approved a two-year extension for Saban on Monday that will run through Jan. 31, 2020. He'll receive $5.32 million in 2012 with a $50,000 raise next year and $100,000 annually after that.

Under the deal, he'll make $5.97 million in 2019.

I have often lambasted the NCAA for exploiting its amateur athletes, but I guess I was a bit out of line. Students get tuition, books, room and board, etc.

Coach Saban earns a mere 275 times the total of these student expenses at Alabama. Certainly his contribution to their success is at least 275 times as great as that of a Mark Ingram or Trent Richardson.
