He has the perspective of being a “Saban player” not an “Alabama” player”

He put his health on the line for a full ride scholarship and exposure to NFL Scouts. He has a right to be criticized and folks have the right to criticize him. Me personally, I don’t get offended by it. Usually I agree with the criticism of the program, but he’s getting paid good money to say his opinion, he should be able to handle criticism

Mark has never jumped off Alabamas bandwagon ?? What the hell are you talking about ?. He is the ONLY one that I see on all these podcasts and shows that always shows and talks about his love of Bama football. And if you look at sidelines of Bamas games he is the one former great you will see the most. Sometimes you cant just always be a dam homer on these sport shows. He has to show some professionalism and true analytical capabilities

Aj, Trent, and Chris Stewart having some fun laughing at Damien on The Dynasty podcast.

Probably an accurate assessment. He doesn't see the program he played for as existing anymore. At least McElroy is still usually a homer on the radio. And of course Ingram is King Gump and will never pay for a meal or drink in Tuscaloosa for the rest of his life.

I agree about Harris.. but not Mark.. even AJ wouldn't go there

I’m going to do some digging when I get a chance, bc I’m almost certain he was a Kentucky fan, and there’s a quote during his recruiting about wanting to go to UK but then talks about the opportunity to play from CNS being too good to pass up.
I may have the school wrong, but for some reason UK is the school that came to mind.

Yeah I think he and Mac Jones were both committed to UK

Thought it was UK. I guess it was stuck in my mind from back when I followed recruiting religiously.
Going to see if I can find that quote somewhere where he talks about going to Bama bc if CNS despite being a UK guy

He came to Alabama because of his friendship with Blake Barnett.

Sounds about right.
Superiority thought process bc he was a “Saban player” and the current/future players will never measure up in his mind

Agreed. I can appreciate him for what he did for the University and I can tell him to get fukt because of his post-grad opinion. My fealty is to the University, but somehow I enjoy Reggie Ragland and Kareem Jackson on X much more than Harris. They criticize too but somehow they don't come across as traitorous like Harris.

Damien and Mark Ingram should not be welcome back at our facilities any time soon. UA needs to take a hard line against former players who throw the university under the bus for applause from their TV colleagues.
Why? You can love the university and the program and not think the current staff is championship caliber. Both of those things can be true. The fact that people think you should have some blind allegiance to the university no matter who the coach or staff is wild.
This staff has deserved the criticisms that have come over the last few years. I do think they have us in a good position but would like to see us have some sustained performance at high level without shooting ourselves in the foot at times.

I think a lot of fans agreed with him. I am beginning to question our judgement. It is complicated but I now think DeBoer has a shot at being a long time Alabama coach if he desires. He still needs to adjust some of his prospectives, and I think he just may do that effectively.

Am I the only one that doesn't see the big deal with the stuff Damien Harris says? I might even argue that he is strategically delivering some anti-rat poison to the team. Like there really isn't any kind of big negative effect in it, but there is possibly a positive effect.

100% true. But what I was referring to is people saying we should ban them for life because they criticized the team or Alabama, that's what I meant by fascist behavior. Now obviously there's situations where you would ban someone. But basic, random criticism isn't one of them.
