Hell no, we've got a team full of badasses that are just chomping at the bit to get their chance to take someone's head off on the football field.

IMHO, this is all Saban - he and Pinkel are old team-mates from way back in college. It's more of a gesture to Pinkel and the player on behalf of and old friend that just whipped your arse.
