On Nick Saban:

quote:

"You can find faults with anybody if they don't win them all," Steve Spurrier said in an interview this past June. "How many SECs has [Nick Saban] won there in eight years? He's won two. He's won three nationals, but he's only won two SECs in eight years.

"Now, if you had the No. 1 recruiting class every year and so forth," Spurrier continued, "I don't know if he has maxed out potentially as well as he could.”

Why is OBC so focused on Nick?

You should probably head back to Tiger Rant now. You can get there by way of Germany

It's going to be sad if he stays too long and turns into Bobby Bowden.

I really wish he'd win it this year and hang'em up before that happens.

Going to miss his barbs.

Welcome home Steve!

Good for him.

Don't know why everybody's so scared to talk about Saban or it's taboo to criticize Saban.

This is the U.S., not Russia.

This should be what you quoted... the new stuff.

"I think [Saban and Alabama have] done extremely well. There's no question about that. I just made a statement that I think they've had five number one recruiting classes out of the last six years, which has got to make him the greatest recruiter in the history of college football.

Arguably, they've got the greatest collection of football players ever assembled for a college team. If the recruiting services are correct, and they're pretty much correct.

So they're the favorites. They're the favorites. There's no question about that. As long as they can recruit like that, they're always going to be the favorites.

I guess fortunately sometimes the team that plays the best is the team that wins instead of maybe who all has the best players.

I just mention that because it is amazing. When I was at Florida, we had two number one classes, 1991, Danny Wuerffel, all those guys, we had a bunch of players come in. The next year the guys said, Coach, you got too many players on Florida, I'm not going to get on the field.

But at Alabama they just keep signing them year after year after year. It's amazing. I give him credit for it. They do it the right way. He runs a good program. It's just amazing to me how they've been able to stack and keep loading up players every year.

That's what I was just trying to mention. They're going to be the favorites. They got to be the favorites.

Now LSU is pretty good, too. Everybody else recruits very well also. But to be number one that much, that's just sort of amazing to me."

Accusations of cheating? I think so.

I don't see his point. What's he trying to say, the SEC is tough? We know that.

Saban's coaching deserves much criticism, this seems fueled by jealousy,

So pointing out that his criticism of Saban borders on deranged = Russia?

Head Games

Obviously Spurrier thinks he has a team that might meet-up against Bama in Atlanta. It's that simple.

Spurrier is the consummate player of head games. You should play golf with him some time, it's endless and relentless. It's who he is, don't take it personally. It works for him most of the time. He did it to Bowden at FSU, everyone at UGA (owns the entire fanbase), does it to Dabo to such an extent that he baited Dabo into one of the worse rants a college football head coach has ever been baited into ... and he's just trying to do it to Saban this year hoping that they face-off in Atlanta.

Spurrier jealous of Saban? It seems that way to you? Seriously?

I care too little about Clemson (like most of the nation) so I missed that. Link?
