It's like nothing has changed since his first year at MSU, yet he can just continue this same spiel from place to place making more and more money at each stop. I wonder where it will all end. Probably not at Bama. He is a good coach and he's smart so he probably knows there is talent to win right away to parlay into his next stop.
Exactly.

And FTR, Saban may be a good college coach (you would have to consider his NFL tenure a failure), but his track record leaves me a little at why he is so sought-after and demands this kind of money/attention.

I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. You're always going to find a sleeping giant eager to return to the glory days, and S(lut)aban will always be there as the ultimate ambulance chaser.
