Saban made them an elite program..and they still aren't "premium". The NFL will ALWAYS be there. If he wins at Bama for 3-4 years, the NFL will come back.<BR/>However, Saban probably won't go from Bama to any other college job. For better or worse, Bama is considered one of those premier programs (Ohio State, USC, Notre Dame, Michigan and maybe 1 or 2) are the others. So there isn't much room for Saban to improve upon as far as prestige and money goes. <BR/><BR/>Huizenga isn't exactly a model owner, so I wouldn't want to work for him either.rafaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286062038193331350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1167841725506182462007-01-03T11:28:00.000-05:002007-01-03T11:28:00.000-05:00here: Welcome to the AM Jumphere: <A HREF="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/index" REL="nofollow">Welcome to the AM Jump</A>marcomarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17507640418000407851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1167841518185102102007-01-03T11:25:00.001-05:002007-01-03T11:25:00.001-05:00Dan,Is DJ Gallo ripping off your strikethru style ...Dan,<BR/><BR/>Is DJ Gallo ripping off your strikethru style an insult or a tribute?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Can't do em here it seems:<BR/><I>Your HTML cannot be accepted: Tag is not allowed: strike</I>marcomarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17507640418000407851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1167841509351924442007-01-03T11:25:00.000-05:002007-01-03T11:25:00.000-05:00Why is he a traitor?
