I just read this myself. I don\'t see them dumping Haz with a chance to make the playoffs. As slim as that chance is. Especially after all the talk about how expensive it would be to fire and rehire a new staff.

THis might be true, maybe, if the Saints lay an egg against the TURDS this Sunday but otherwise no way.

I think there is no way we get Saban anyway. With all this beggin for money from the state and then turn around and pay 6 plus million to Haslett for leaving, and pay another staff. I don\'t think so. I also read on the same site that Jack Del Rio was a candidate for LSU if Saban leaves. That has to be crap. Sure, anything can happen. Plus the Saints constantly do what is unexpected, but I still think it is BS as well.

i would rather see him stay at LSU than even go to the saints.....

college football just has more passion that pros, i would rather watch LSU over the saints

Did anyone note that if Benson takes Saban off LSU\'s hands, the great state of Louisiana saves $1.5 million annually? Saban\'s replacement will probably earn less than $1M, so it\'s a sweet deal for Granma Gov to press on Uncle Tom.

:casstet: Oh well, apparently three teams in the southwestern California area just aren\'t enough for Tags and the NFL, gotta get another in the vicinity. This would put FOUR teams in ONE state, with roughly 450 miles separating the furthest two (San Diego to Oakland).

Not to mention the well-known fact that LA traditionally won\'t support a team even if they have one.

I can only hope that Benson is playing possum here in hopes it will have some sway in the negotiations with the state. Maybe he thinks a coaching search would give the state reason to point out holes in his arguments (as has been asserted). Maybe he means to show solidarity in acting cluelessly committed to his coach and team.

Yeah, and maybe I\'m talking out of my a**. This sucks...
