Nick Saban Gets Called Out For Being 'Afraid' Of Serious Competition

"Decaying Alabama Program"?? Gimme all the decaying Alabama you got.

This is what happens when someone attempts to make clicks. Come up with the most idiotic takes and push it out there. Saban has always pushed for a top team outside of playing in the SEC. What a terrible take.

And ya just had to piss him off! Now he’s gonna find another way to get all top recruits and start wrecking people… except for BK.

to be fair, it wasn't just Alabama: LINK

Just like with any business, Alabama has received favorable calls in most SEC games when they were at risk of losing. If you offer me enough money, as a data scientist, I can do the data and analysis ML for that considering there's enough free data on the internet.

But as a couple decade long watcher without missing many SEC games or extended highlights, it's in the SEC's interest to send the most likely playoff team, or especially the next BCS era team, to the next stage. This is why I'm in favor of an 8 team playoff, so you at least guarantee 2 SEC teams who will clean house and the calls become more fair which is what you're seeing now. He's getting older, but the SEC and the SEC refs know there will be an SEC team involved in the playoffs.

good lord, Saban's had the most dominant team in college football history, plays in the toughest division of the toughest conference, and typically plays a legit OOC opponent every year.

Typical trash analysts...what's new in sports.

Goes to show you just how stupid most posters here are - about as bad as the poli board

Click on this fully expecting this to be Danny Kanell that said that

Who is Mike Bratton?

Saban just went to Congress to cry about NIL - dude is scared.

Saban and Bama have played virtually every major school in OOC or playoff games and faired quite well the last 15 years. Saying Saban/Bama are scared to play teams is just fricking dumb.

A nobody being interviewed by a nobody.
