Yes, Hitler and the Nazis were on top for a few years, but we all know how that ended up.

1) Seems that Saban answered in a way that suffeciently rustled your jimmies so mission accomplished as far as i'm concerned.

2) Bama held a team vote to decide the discipline and this is what was chosen. It is what it is.

3) Saban siad he was not pleased with their actions and thst they need to work on correcting their behavior.

He sounded prepared. His answer was a good one and well thought out. You may not agree, but it was prepared.

2) Is it really a good idea to have 2 guys counseling juveniles when those 2 guys were arrested just 2 months ago for possession of a stolen gun and drugs?


But they weren't charged with anything. They worked hard and overcame their environment to earn a scholarship at a premier program and became champions. Pretty inspiring for any juvenile.

3) Why was there any punishment at all, even if it's only internal punishment, when you don't think they did anything wrong? 


They put themselves in a bad situation that could have hurt their future, even though they aren't being charged with anything. Corrective action for better behavior is necessary.

I'm pretty sure he prepared and that was his answer. You might not like it, but I don't think he was taken aback by the question or wishes he would have answered differently.

Pretty sure Saban said they did wrong, so not sure what you mean

Trust me, Saban was prepared for the question. His opening statements on the main floor set the stage for it but no one asked. Everything he says is calculated, that message was probably for his current players and recruits. After all was said and done Isaiah Wilson tweeted "I love Saban. He defended his player whole heartedly..." Mission accomplished, thank you Paul. You're welcome Nick.

LSU fans on tRant acting like their program and coach is a patreon of moral value need to come back down from the clouds and smell the fricking roses. Cam didn't get in trouble, he is gonna play this year end of a subject. Why are people on here so worried about how another team disciplines their players

I think Saban was giving his scripted explanation, but Finebaum cut him off, got him off-script, and he melted. He probably felt that his character and his program were under attack and just lost his temper. I agree, he should have been better prepared.

I can't attest to how good they are at counseling, but they can now speak from experience when saying what not to do.

I think they did something wrong. They shouldn't have had marijuana at all. So they were being stupid and had a near disaster. That warrants punishment.

LSU has the most conspiracy theories by far.

And then you had dictators like Stalin, Mao, and Franco who remained in power until they died of natural causes.

Saban is a coward like Les Miles when he held that team vote


You do know that in addition to "internal discipline" Les suspended Jeremy Hill for the opening game against TCU. He sent that decision to the team leaders for their input and "vote", which was upheld and Hill missed a marquee opening season game in Jerry world on national T.V.

But don't let facts get in the way of your diversion tactics... carry on.

Correct because he didn't kick off probably who would have been the best NT Alabama has had in his tenure last year even though charges were dropped.
