Rumor on SECRant today that LSU is in talks with him if Kelly fails to make the playoff this season matches what Im hearing around my LSU friends.
I mean....it's been all over the internet for a couple of days. Auburn was the first rumor. LMAO!!!!!!
He 100% ain't going to auburn and I'd bet a big chunk he won't go to LSU. What a shithole town for him and Mrs Terry. No way.
He would go to LSU in a heartbeat. He admitted in an interview he messed up leaving LSU
About as much of a chance as him coaching you on your next year of board predictions.
Unless he is just miserable not being a coach, I don’t understand it.
Messed up leaving for the NFL. Not for Bama. 6 natties, 4 Heismans.Quote:

And I like Lebby.
Honestly, a place like MSU would be a good retirement hobby for him. We don't have stupid high expectations. He could and would easily win as much as Jackie did in his prime here. Would attract immediate attention to MSU and we would become more of a factor in recruiting and in the portal. He would give MSU a shot in the arm that is desperately needs in football.Quote:

Hell, coming off 2-10 and the roster still in a bit of a reloading mode, if Saban was our coach this year people would expect a national championship. Hell, he's not our coach and we'll still have people pissed off to hell and back when Georgia and Texas beat us this year.Quote:

I see him coaching high school if anything.
Oh really?Quote:

"On Monday, former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy said he's hearing the seven-time national champion will return to coaching.
McElroy shared his report about the 73-year-old during Monday morning's "McElroy & Cubelic in the Morning" show."
It's one of two things:Quote:

Which is not unnormal, I think any coach that doesn't coach anymore always gets the itch to coach around this time every year. Because for however many years they've coached, this was always the time that things started getting ramped up. For Saban, and most SEC coaches, they would've gotten back from their vacation homes on Lake Norman late last week and they start to gear up for the grind.
2. Saban thinks that the NIL stuff is in a much better place and it's not as wild west as it was when he stepped down.
Not smart fansQuote:

IF LSU did fire BK (very unlikely) hopefully Salmon is on the phone with him the same day.
100% absolutely TRUE.Quote:

Mike Detillier said this morning he does not see that ever happening. And Mike has his finger on the pulse of the football world about as well as anyone, especially in Louisiana.
Absolutely. Saban won't take a job if the NIL isn't set up for him to be a national championship contender, so in the 1/10,000 chance that he comes to coach us, that means we've done what it takes to get him interested, just like we did what it took to get O'Connor interested.Quote:

Also IMG is not eligible for post season play because it does not adhere to Florida rules for player eligibility, thus no post season for the outlaws. This is IMG and would Saban put his reputation into this football environment?Quote:
