re: Interesting tidbit from the Chris Lowe all-access Saban article re: Mo Smith

Thing about playing for Saban is its not for everybody. He demands like no other, expects effort like no other and constantly grinds on you to improve.

He is not your friend, He is not your buddy and it is not a democracy. It is a fascist state where he has absolute power and u are expected to be all out every play. If u don't he will be in your shite like right now. The trade off is winning. Players have to decide if they can take the Saban grind. Most can. Some can't. He's not the first to leave and won't be the last. We've had players leave every single year. I'd rather them go because we know we have a team that is all out and Saban can trust.
He is/will be a great player, just not a Saban type. That's cool, I probably wouldn't want to play for his arse either
