Watch It Now, Here He Comes....

WJOX is reporting that it's a done deal.  35 minutes 'til we know for sure.

Update [2007-1-3 11:8:5 by Todd]:

The Tuscaloosa News is reporting that Saban is our man:

TUSCALOOSA | Nick Saban is on his way to Tuscaloosa.

Saban is en route to a private airport to fly to Tuscaloosa on Wednesday morning, where he is expected to formally accept the job to become the Crimson Tide's 27th head football coach, ending a month-long wait by Tide fans and nationwide media frenzy to see who would replace Mike Shula.

Saban will fly to Tuscaloosa today with University of Alabama athletics director Mal Moore via private jet, and would be formally introduced at a news conference either later today or Thursday.

A formal announcement from the Miami Dolphins and owner H. Wayne Huizenga is expected this morning. Huizenga agreed to give Saban a 10 a.m. ET deadline to meet with him about staying with the Dolphins or heading to the Tide.

So are:

ESPN

Sun Sentinel

Miami Herald

Still no official word from Alabama, Miami, or Saban himself. Come on, news conference...


He doesn't look a thing like Jesus...

Well if JOX said it...
Then we really should wait until 9 AM to celebrate.  After Rodriguez... we don't have anyone until they are standing in front of the podium

But I can say I'm about to jump out of my skin waiting... I am so ready to celebrate.  Anyone know a good hotel for the SEC Championship next year?

Was it for this my life I sought?

Survey on the Sun-Sentinel Page
The choices for "Who should the Dolphins hire as their next coach?" are just too funny.  Vote for your favorite former Alabama coach & then see who's leading the poll!

It has to be

Somebody needs to Photoshop . . .
all the LSU stuff out of that picture of Saban.  I can't stomach all that purple and gold.

My mad photoshop skillzz...
...are definetely not able to pay the billzz, so how about I just change the picture for you?

Awesome.
Actually, I should have done a rendering of Saban as our coach using MS Paint.  It would have been glorious.

Huizenga
is giving his press conference right now.

This is one of the best days ever.

I'm in Tuscaloosa right now...
...and there are news trucks everywhere and what few people are here (class hasn't started back yet) are excited as hell.

It's nice to not have a sense of dread about a hire. It's been a while.

ROLL TIDE!

Roll Tide!
