Ex-Bama DB Ronnie Harrison Responds To Nick Saban's Comments About Players Leaving Early

While third round money might not be shite to lil Nicky, it is to most people. And it’s certsimly better than no round money if the kid gets hurt.

Its the kids life. Let him do what he wants. Perhaps he needed to upgrade from a charger to a Benz. Nick owns a Benz dealership, he ought to be happy about that.

Is Lil Nicky's implication that he took a pay cut by leaving Tuscalousy? That's kind of the only way he has a point.

Boy that 8 in a row has really chapped a bunch of coon asses.

Sabans right and Ronnies mad about it.

"always make it about the players and their goals" -Nick Saban "When they get in trouble, we remind them how their decisions are making an negative impact towards achieving their goals" _Nick Saban

First, he's having to take a pay cut to go to the pros, but he has the endorsement opportunities which can help offset things. Second, he likely won't make his 2nd contract because a lot of Bama players break down after they get off the HGH/steroids.

It’s a complicated situation. Many of these kids are in situations of extreme poverty. Even a third round pick can forever change the quality of life for him and his family. Some things are more important than football. On the other hand, Little Nicky is right too. The NCAA should offer insurance to guarantee kids like this that security but allow them to improve their stock and finish their commitment.

Saban isn’t always right . What happens when the guy comes back and blows out his knee ?. Then goes undrafted ?

Another words: I can buy my own charger

The guys that listen to Saban tend to get way richer than the ones who don't. Guys should user their heads and not their emotions to make decisions like this.

What's great is how Nick Saban has always stayed around for less money.

Third round money may not be a lot to a millionaire head coach, but to the kid getting drafted, it’s life changing money. Not everyone is as well off as Nick Saban.

Not everybody likes Dodge Chargers

Ask Marcus Lattimore how staying worked out

Sabans right on this one. The pandemic that is college athletes leaving early to go pro needs to stop. Its frustrating to keep losing talent year in, year out to the pros. Wonder what we can do to stop this? I would like athletes to have the option to either 1) go pro out of high school or 2) be required once in college to stay a minimum of 4 years or graduation, what ever comes first. (would help entice athletes to get a degree)

Perhaps Saban and Alabama need to make the Alabama compensation package more attractive to the young man than what a 3rd round draft pick can get from the NFL. Come on Nick, if they gonna stay...you got to pay.

Bama’s just going to have to start matching NFL money. What they’re currently paying players is just not attractive enough to make them want to stay.

Some kids don't have the luxury of being able to wait and play their hand out. Saban has a point but that's only considering best case scenario and not acknowledging the risk. One thing is for sure, the motivation for his comments come from his own interests/depth chart concerns and not for the player's. "You should have to win your conference to be in the CFB playoff" -Nick Saban "I think this team deserves the opportunity to get in the playoff by what they've been able to accomplish" -Nick Saban

Saban’s analysis here is oversimplified. Yes, Harrison will make 3rd round money for a few years, but if he’s that good (and Savanna thinks he is), then he’s a year closer to his big money contract. Yes, it is a gamble, but so is staying in school for more rookie contract money. But of course, Sagan won’t tell that side of the story.
