Seems he didn't appreciate coaches comments about him leaving early. Hope he enjoys third round money for the next two years.
I thought Saban's comments were completely logical. Ronnie threw away millions. He'll probably be selling used cars one day.

I think Saban dissed Ronnie first. I don't know why Saban thinks taking a shot at a former player I'd a good idea? Makes him look petty

Incredibly! What bothers me most is the disrespect. Teacher,Coach,Mentor,Elder does not matter. It's all about me.

Aaron Suttles said Ronnie Harrison tried to fist fight 5 or 6 media members after we lost to Clemson in 2016. He is a HOT HEAD, I never watched a game where he didnt almost get in a fight.

We missed that attitude at times last year.

I was right behind the bench at the USC game a couple of years ago and Reuben Foster had to hold him back after he lost his shite over USC's trash talking.

I enjoyed his time and effort Alabama, and I hope he turns into an All-pro in the nfl,
but I also think that it was petty and very immature to take offense and resort to Twitter fingers towards Saban harmlessly using him as an example on making a decision to enter the draft early.
There is ZERO benefit in being a bitch towards your old coach, who happens to be the best to ever do it on a college level. It makes him look foolish. Maybe he will mature. I hope he does.

I don't disagree, but I ain't gonna throw him out over it is all. At the end of the day nothing really changes and this is a non-issue.

Well, that's not true. You hope that someone else would learn from Ronnie's mistake.
Nobody hates Ronnie over this. He made the choice he wanted to. Some of our posters think it's offensive to question a player's questionable decision. Some of us think it's okay to point it out, especially to players evaluating a similar choice.
"Having a player's back" as another poster put it, is pretty dumb on every level, honestly, because it involves Saban either lying directly to the media who raised the question, or him lying to the next player and family who faces that important decision.

I personally think Saban is right and RH is wrong. RH would have been best served to ignore it, but too late now.
But I've seen people kind of take a bit of an aggressive stance about him and such and that's just a bit far for me is all.

There is no right in this situation. Ronnie took the sure-thing, pay-me-now option versus the riskier wait and put in more work for a larger reward option. Neither of them should have referenced the other.
People just need to realize what he is taking home after taxes is not the life altering money that first round money would be. His signing bonus of roughly $800k turns into roughly $594k after Uncle Sam takes his cut. He's lucky; he signed in FL with no state income tax. He also gets a $473k salary; roughly $300k after taxes. Some states will take a piece when he plays games in their state. Nice money and if he doesn't go on spending sprees will last a while. He salary over the next 3 years $617k, $708K and $779k...if he doesn't get injured or cut...still some risk involved there. But allin around $2.5M AT IF he gets it all.
Now first round money...Minkah is the easy comparison (drafted 1st rnd #11)...$10M signing bonus, $480k salary...first year $7.7M AT compared to $944k AT. One of those you can live on with swag...and the other...not so much. The 4 year numbers $12M vs $2.5M after tax. Oh, and these number are very conservative...agents fees are going to come off the top of those. And Minkah's contract is fully guaranteed.
The bottom of the 2nd round got guaranteed money double what Ronnie received. Guaranteed $ for #32 $7.6M for #64 $1.9M
I'm glad Ronnie is living his dream; more power to him, few get to do so.
