I have. I just don't let shite like that change how I do anything. If I'm a regular guy and I'm like that, then I know Saban or any of the players on his team that matters don't think like like that.


Then you know that it can motivate players. Listening to people say things, you allow yourself to reflect on what is happening. Constructive criticism is valuable. While I doubt Coach Saban completely listens to everybody and everything, we know he listens

Even the GOAT takes to time to evaluate.

Lies. We all recognize Nick Saban as the living legend that he is. He took us to a SEC title and playoff run in a rebuilding year. The man is a God.


Lol, I knew all those threads bashing Saban and telling him to GTFO would be easily brushed aside as "nothing that ever happened!!1!".

It was pathetic and there were many idiots crying because he signed a letter.

I have no doubt some of the Alabama fan base (very few) did just that, but then we also did it to Coach Bryant.

Alabama's expectations are high, but then so are the rewards.

It wasn't very few. These guys melted all over the rant and the Alabama forum.

I knew people would comeback and bring all that up shortly. It was pathetic

Gumps' dissatisfaction with Nick Saban
If you don't want him anymore, please send him back to Baton Rouge.


Posting shite like this is how you rack up 1,000 posts per month in your short existence. You're gonna burn out, pal.

Y'all must have sucked. The teams expectations and the fans expectation are the SAME. If the expectations aren't to win a Championship, then why the hell play at all?

Why would you want Saban when you have BK?

The team would expect to win regardless of what the fans expect, thus, fan expectations do not matter.

I expect LSU to go 8-4 next year, their actual record will not be affected by my expectations at all.

The statement that Alabama football is "good" because of high fan expectations is just moronic and the sign of a major homer.

Kind of "hard" to shell out hard earned money on a team "expected" to lose. Fan expectation is what puts people in the seats of a 100,000 seat stadium. And when stadiums are "full" of fans expecting their team to win, you don't think players "feed" of of that?

I think you're misunderstanding my point.

Obviously a stadium full of fans give the team "energy," obviously a team expected to lose isn't going to constantly sell out.

My point is that the high expectations of Alabama fans specifically isn't one of the things that causes Alabama to be better than everyone else.

Each fanbase of each elite college football programs has high expectations, LSU fans are constantly ridiculed on this site because they expect to win a title every year, doesn't mean they do.

I don't understand you people. You bitch about everything when you don't win it all including the person who brought Alabama along.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

During my time at the University of Alabama I talked to many an athlete playing for Alabama. They strived to be the best they could be because the fans expect them to be the best they could be. They also did it for their teammates, coaches and their families. If you think they were not listening, and reacting to what was being said, then you are mistaken.

Glad to know we are dissatisfied or is this just anger at the new coach you hired?'
