Saban's shot

Nick Saban put the ridiculous rumors about his return to coaching colllege football to rest today. The rumors had Saban linked to the Alabama job.

"When I was in college it was always about coming to the pros,'' Saban told reporters today. "This is the challenge I wanted. I had a good college job. Why would I have left that if I was going to be interested in other college jobs?

"I took this as a challenge. We certainly haven’t seen this through and gotten where we want to go and finished the job here, so why would I be interested in something else?"

Why indeed? And by the way, LSU fans should be flattered over Saban's feelings toward the school and the program he built into a power.
