Very few LSU players “liked” Saban. This isn’t too shocking tbh. When you win you can tolerate it.

My take on this is that when a coach has a super talented player who stars having issues, the coach has 3 choices:

1. Just let the player have his way so he won't leave.
2. Come down hard on the player to essentially run him off.
3. Find a way to thread the needle between 1. and 2., in other words make it clear to the player who is in charge but do it in a way the player understands/respects.

Saban apparently handled this just right.

If you giggle at Saban you must guffaw at Harsin.
