How often does Saban suspend players for reasons unknown to the public? Never once heard Bama suspend a player for violating team rules. I do not follow Bama football but it seems as though I should hear something in the news. In my opinion their is no way you don't have atleast one bad apple out of the group every year.

Happens about as often as the average college program.

Drake was suspended last season for a game for team rules violations. Others as well over the years. Saban just doesn't publicize it, so unless someone asks why such and such player didn't play, he keeps it in house. If someone asks, he tells.

saban isn't suspending the players that are in trouble, he has made a statement suspending the cops that busted them and has sent them to brpd as punishment. he also got the kids card that was stolen kicked out of school

Saban kicked our starting safety off the team in 2010 (Robbie Green).

Also, he has suspended and then kicked off Sentimore (now starting at UT) and Rod Woodson (don't know about him) for setting fireworks off in the dorm and failing drug tests.

He does it, he's suspended star wide receivers before for a full game.

Problem is, when he's losing to ULM at halftime, he magically reinstates said player at halftime.

I can tell you after going to a football camp when he was still at LSU when I was in high school I wouldn't frick around if he were my coach. He called us pussies for drinking water in 110 degree heat and went postal. He's intense as frick

Obviously we haven't had to lift many suspensions the last few years

I am pretty sure Robbie Green was the guy caught by the NCAA for PEDs. I don't think Saban had much of a choice on that one, no?

He actually suspended most of LSU's starting defense for that drive. He controls both programs.

Nothing wrong in saying bama has and always will have a better easier schedule. Just the way Bana rolls.
