re: I just saw Nick Saban

Did you see Sonny Dykes on TV begging? No.
Did you see Ryan Day on TV begging? No.
Did you see Josh Heupel on TV begging? No.

Saban's begging and groveling were pathetic. The man has no pride or ethics.

Honest to goodness, I don't understand why this is such a hard thing for you people. Nick Saban is the greatest coach in the history of college football. That carries privileges with it. None of the coaches you listed were on the national broadcast because none of those coaches were asked to be.

Put it this way. If I were a Tennessee fan (or TCU or Ohio State) and I found out that my coach declined an opportunity to indirectly speak to the playoff committee while they were deliberating whether or not my team got in the thing, then I would not be very pleased with him.

What did you expect Saban to do? Fox Rep: "Would you like to come on and be interviewed during halftime of the Big Ten championship?" Saban: "No thanks. That's unethical, and rival fans might think I'm begging."
