They have a lot of good players. We&#8217;ve had a lot of competitive games with them, and I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll be no different in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>STAY UP-TO-DATE:<\/strong> Subscribe to our Sports newsletter now!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Saban will earn more than $ 9 million this year, and it takes him roughly two hours to earn the $ 5,000 he was offered to step down from Alabama.  Not exactly attractive, but the LSU fan&#8217;s pitch gets an A for effort as he bypassed security measures to approach Saban while the coach was eating lunch, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Saban has a 12-4 record against LSU, where he coached from 2000-04, since arriving at Alabama in 2007. That includes 10 wins in the last 11 contests between the two rivals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><em>Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter @chasegoodbread<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"gnt_em_gl_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2022\/01\/11\/USAT\/890d7416-6553-47a0-b37b-f097a2d1c490-USATSI_17486007.jpg?resize=660%2C372&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2022\/01\/11\/USAT\/890d7416-6553-47a0-b37b-f097a2d1c490-USATSI_17486007.jpg?crop=7166,4031,x872,y417&amp;width=1320&amp;height=744&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp 2x\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who knows what it might take to make Alabama football coach Nick Saban retire, but this much is certain: $ 5,000 won&#8217;t do it.
