Seems just a little odd that Jimmy Sexton (or somebody close to him) would give out information regarding Alabama inquiring about Nick Saban, but the other morning on Lapides's show, Sexton wouldn't even discuss the posibility of Spurrier coming to T-town.
Remember, Sexton is both Saban's and Spurrier's agent. So let's just say that one coach (Spurrier) has the last game of the regular season this week. Let's say that coach is interested in the job but doesn't want the distractions during rivalry week, so his agent finds a way to switch the rumors in the media.
Saban has absolutely no desire to come back to college football right now. Maybe 3 or 4 games ago, before they started winning again, but not right now when they still mathematically have a shot at the playoffs.
Spurrier, however, is supposedly a done deal. Part of an agent's job is to keep his mouth closed until the deal's done.
So you tell me. Why would they leak information on Saban right now? :-)

Dude, give it up. Steve Spurrier to Alabama has no chance whatsoever of happening. NONE. # posted by Anonymous : 5:59 PM
Okay, Steve, thanks for killing the rumor for us...NOT! Unless you're Steve himself, or Jimmy Sexton, I don't believe he would like you to speak on his behalf, especially when you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Just read on here and you'll figure out the fact that Spurrier has never said he's not coming here. # posted by Anonymous : 6:51 PM
He flatly denied going to Miami, a clear "No", his answer with tlaent loaded, and then some, money laoded, and then some, defense loaded and then some, Alabama etc.
"Well Mike Shula is still their Head Coach..." He didn't say no, he jsut implied that if Shula wans't the head coach and no one was at the job, He'd take it, we all know he meant that. His good firend Bill Oliver hinted at all fo this...
He coming to Bama barner, all thanks to you....You know it, just like the barn got rid of that joke Curry the Joke has been done under by our main rival, Spurrier almost beat you and vastly OUT GAINED YOU with crap talent, imagine him with Jim Brown like Jimmy Johns bowling over people for 150 ayrds, and the very mobiel good armed, very accurate JPW at the helm with his guts and determination, and 4 future NFL Wrs...two monster ins quick Jerry Rice like with more strength DJ Hall, and the super fast and powerful KB who ahs great hands also,(Oakley and Stover are awesome too, Stover is pwoerful andphysical and both are quick and fast, great handse tc. Oakley is the fastest guy on the team) All behins Andre Smith Caldwell, Ross, Stadler, no game killing one man losing machine Capps who manages to be so bad the other team always gets jsut enough via defensive TDs on turnovers caused by him, ad sacks, hurries, knockdowns, runs stuffe devery dang down almost to stop us, thanks Shula). Tatum was a solid replacement ove rhim and eh coudl run blcok the Cardwell Caldwell combination that Shulaball was holding out on us cost ud 3-4 games at least, the JJ thing over KD gave us every loss, Shula's non-use/missuse of talent was atrocious this year as have been every year. He not only didn't put the best player son the field, he put the worst, his offens eis predictable in pass/run ratio on every down and then the specific plays escpecially in the red zone wer ebeyond predictbale, they were 99% assured, and opposing defense reacted accordingly and stuffe dthe slow TC running tto the left with his Jumbo package dive, we never coudl run tot eh right because Capps was their getting blown past be everyone, meanwhile the servicable and good run blcoker Tatum was sititng along with Cardwell.
FIRE SHULA HIRE SPURRIER!!!!!!!
FEAR THE VISOR! BARN YOU CAUSED IT!!!!
NEXT YOU ARE DEAD, It's gonna be worse than 2001 in Jerdun-Hair, 52-0 at least....600 yards total offense, Spurrier is going to uneash upon you a wrath you have never seen...
