This is why I respect O. Saban said he doesn’t get into politics, but he endorsed the guy in WV and he was the one leading the march. Either he’s picked a side or he’s doing whatever it takes to get a recruit and keep players happy. If he picked a side, that’s fine, but don’t hide from it.
Coach O on the other hand supported his players rights to protest, but he’s also spoken highly of our president. They may not like where he stands, but at least he’s upfront about his position. I’d rather my coach tell me the truth instead of blowing smoke up my arse just to keep me happy. This def goes along with him treating players like his kids bc my dad never told me stuff at that age just to make me happy. He was very consistent when it came to telling me where he stood as opposed to what I wanted to hear.
