To be fair, the ten Sabans would probably argue with each other a lot.

Do you know what ten Sabans would be worth on the open market? Think of the street value!

Update:

Pat Dye has just been arrested for ecstasy possession.

I think Dye is suggesting that Chizik is worth more than $100.00, or ten of these bills:

Personally, I'd value Chizik at about $46.77, but that's how the market works: different consumers willing to pay different prices, eventually the price reaches equilibrium . . . or something like that (I'm not an economist).

How dare you deface Alexander Hamilton and the $10 bill by replacing Hamilton's countenance with Saban's? Good stuff on Chizik haha

I would rather have "Schrute Bucks", but that's just me.

Did he get some of that poison from Toomer's Corner too?

Whatever Pat Dye is smoking.....we all want some.

Auburn wouldn't have the funds to get their next great player if they had to pay 10 Sabans.

BrewstersMillions on 27 Sep 2012 - 10:59am #

HA! Even in Mythical "we can make multiple versions of the same thing" world the SEC oversigns. Why need 10? Do the other 9 have medical hardships?

4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off

That was damn funny. Much appreciated.

When told OSU set school record for 50+ games this year, UFM said "That's good. We're gonna break that next year."

Saban may be a lot of things, but at the top of the list is WINNER (except that whole Dolphins thing, but you know what I mean). What Pat Dye is saying is that Auburn would rather have a guy who hasn't done didley squat outside of winning a championship with a player that should not have been eligible, than TEN of a guy who is the best coach in college football.

I know several Auburn fans who think booting Chizik out tomorrow would be the best thing for the program. They believe, as do I, that the championship was a combo of Newton and Malzahn and had very little to do with Chizik.

It is very hard to listen to that long, slow southern drawl. Seemed like that interview was thirty minutes long.

OSUBias on 27 Sep 2012 - 2:10pm #

Maybe he knows that with 10 Sabans come 10 Kristen Sabans. Gadzooks. Scary thought.

Gadzooks! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

sounds like one of those crazy votes of confidence a coach gets pretty soon before he's canned. can you imagine, national champs and two years later, gone. although the NC was tuberville's defensive guys, obviously along with sham newton

"He went on to say Alabama probably will win the national championship this season and called Florida State the team outside the SEC that is closest to the caliber of an SEC team."

I didn't watch the interview, so maybe the article writer is taking his quote out of context, but if not, then what we have here is SEC homerism at its finest. If he'd said that FSU was the closest non-SEC team to the caliber of Alabama and LSU or possibly even South Carolina and Georgia, then okay, but otherwise, get real. Overall, it's clearly the best conference, but let's not get delusional. "SEC! SEC! SEC!"
