Was listening to the Dan Le Batard show on the way home this afternoon and they had Bowden on as a guest. Was a very good interview and when the podcast is up I recommend taking a listen.
Anyway, BB talked about the pressures of CFB and how he didn't realize how much pressure there was until he was out of the game. Was talking about how the more you win, the more you're expected to win, etc. Also talked about interviewing for the Bama job in 86 and would have left had they offered it to him. They asked if Saban would leave and he said, he may be tired of the pressure at Bama, where it gets more difficult every year to please the fans and even though there would be just as much pressure at UT for example, it would be lighter at the beginning.
Well, it just got me wondering if Tom's career would have fizzled like Bobby's did. Also, found it interesting the fan expectations and what not. I think it's a good point to reiterate, that NU isn't any different than the pressure cookers elsewhere.
