How do you even calculate that shite? I'm pretty sure I'd be under 30% against most people on here but if I can do some math up front to know who I can pick on, that would be cool.

There is a player who is profiled in "To Be A Tiger" by Les Miles who talks about his dislike of Nick Saban. I don't have time to read this entire thread and hope I'm not being Germans. Anyone have the book and know who this is?

Saban deserves all the credit for getting Bama to the BCS title game. However in the game his team played as if they were as tight as a frog's arse which pretty much characterizes Saban in big games. Bama won the game but it was not due to coaching.

He was loved by most, and disliked by some (fans). Players supposedly respected him greatly but did not really like him. Assistant coaches couldnt stand working for him for more than a season or two and then they were gone.

He wants it his way and is not open to suggestions. I think he is the best college coach in the game, and certainly top 5 of all-time.

This is how I see it :

His former players, having won CHAMPIONSHIPS, and having been as well-prepared as any players in the country, were GRATEFUL to have played for him.

On a personal level, MANY of his best and high profile players thought he was an egotistical douchebag who only cared about winning.

Personally, I would rather WIN , so I would take a Saban-type- intensity -coach were I a player.

Now, as for those who worked FOR him, he was almost intolerable while at LSU. He was a screamer, and he settled scores in devastating ways to people way down the food chain.

In hockey parlance, they say the locker room "stops listening" to a coach. In other words,a super-intense coach has his run where he demands everyones attention and everything seems to work, but when things turn sour, and "the process" or "the schtik" appears flawed, the players turn just as quickly. They just stop listening.

This has been, in my very humble opinion, Saban's pattern. He just WEARS PEOPLE OUT. He GETS OLD. People are HAPPY when he leaves. There is a reason he only lasts five years.

Who knows if he bucks this trend at Bama or heads off to Penn State in two years....

Ok I tracked down the article. Actually, the newspaper tracked down three former LSU players and one said they would root for Alabama. Here's what Skyler Green said.

"I think I'll go with my old coach. I love LSU, but I also love coach Saban," Green said.

"I'm going to pull for both, and whoever wins, it's up in the air. I would love to see coach Saban win, but at the same time I want my team to make it to the national championship."

Still, I'm pretty sure Skyler Green wasn't the only former LSU Tiger to feel that way.


The only reason Skyler Green felt that way is because Saban called him "my man" during the press conference after the Georgia game in 2003.

I seriously doubt other LSU players would root against LSU because of The Great and Powerful Saban.

Well i know some of the higher ups had dinner with him in Monroe during the Miles to Michigan fiasco.
He would have most likely came back had Miles not held his press conference the following Tuesday.

Players either got with Saban's program or they didn't. The players who didn't were spurned....put in the permanent doghouse.

So yeah...on any given Saban team, you're gonna have some disgruntled players who can just never do the right thing in Saban's eyes.

But those guys never play. They don't matter.
