I'd like to think that Saban would've kept him under control. Its obvious that we probably never had a real chance at getting him because Jameis wants the spotlight and Saban is not the kind of coach who would just freely hand it over to him.

IMO, Winston has made Jimbo look like a clown. I've lost a lot of respect for Fisher due to this mess. Can any of you imagine a suspended player for Saban actually dressing out?

Sims story is awesome. Great guy who waited his turn and absolutely worked hard to earn it when nobody gave him a shot.

I always looked at Jimbo as the best of the Saban disciples (obviously pretty easy with the likes of Muschamp and Dooley in that club). And I always assumed he ran a similar tight ship, how he deals with Winston's antics will go a long way with how I view Fisher.

he would rather lose a game with a team full of young men who do things the right way than with an individual or team full of "prima donnas"... Jimbo, not so much...



Wait, wait, wait. Fisher banned him for a whole game. Sure that might seem lenient for shaming the whole program but Jimbo took out his Heisman QB for a top 25 team conference match up... that went to overtime. Say what you want, but if that's not placing the program.... slightly... over a player, then what is?

I'm with you. Jimbo seems to come across every time like he's defending Winston. I think all if this has really hurt the perception of Jimbo.

I see embarrassment and stress on his face as he addresses the Winston issues.
