Alabama AD confident Saban won’t bolt for NFL

Alabama coach Nick Saban owes Baylor RB Lache Seastrunk a thank you
Lache Seastrunk once called Nick Saban to apologize. Now it’s Saban’s turn. He should call Seastrunk to say thank you. Seastrunk was one of the stars Saturday night in Baylor’s 52-24 upset of No. 1 Kansas State, which helped put Alabama’s BCS championship destiny back in its own hands. The sophomore running back playing his first season of college ball carried a career-high 19 times for a career-best 185 yards, including a career-long 80-yard touchdown sprint in the third quarter that pretty much put K-State to sleep.
Is a game like Alabama-Texas A&M won on the practice field or in the film room?
Alabama is coming off a game in which it played an opponent with a similar physical style. The top-ranked Crimson Tide scored a last-minute touchdown and won 21-17 at LSU.

Birthday celebration on Halloween? It’s one of the Nick Saban radio show highlights
Like his football team, Alabama coach Nick Saban got his weekly radio show off to a good start and then finished strong Thursday night. Certainly that’s the way he hopes things go at 7 p.m. CDT Saturday when his top-ranked Crimson Tide visits No. 5 LSU in the biggest game of the year, to date.
Tide will roll as long as Nick Saban reigns
They came here with this idea that they believed. Even hung a sign to proclaim it on the revered statue of Bear Bryant that stands in front of this glorious palace of college football. Mississippi State believes, all right. Believes more than ever – like we all should – that Alabama is so good and so completely in a class by itself, the only thing that ends the Tide’s chokehold on the sport is the departure of the man who started it all.
