Why do you guys think players only care about making you the fan happy?


The kid was promised by Saban he would be there and Saban retires before the kid even gets a full season with him.

The new guy comes and brings his personal favorite who he obviously wants to be the guy... and you think Sayin and his parents should just gamble their kids/investment future on hoping the favorite kid won't be picked over their unfavored?

If I’m Air Nolan I’m splitting during the spring window. All the things you said apply for him as well plus he has to deal with BoB.

I’d be gone the second the spring transfer portal opened.

Meh. Saban hasn't promised he would be there to any recruit in two years.

I have zero problem with Sayin or any other player who came specifically to play for Saban transferring out. Even if he goes to OSU. He'll be the starter for 3 years if he beats out Air Noland.

This take may have been valid before the new portal rules, but now it’s not much of a gamble. Sayin could stay and compete for the job, which is arguably easier to secure with a new HC. Under Saban, Sayin knew Milroe would most likely start again next year… we all did. With a new HC, he had a completely fresh competition. Worst case, he doesn’t play this year, which he expected anyway… then transfers next year. Best case, he’s QB1 at UA.

And while Saban’s allure is massive, I understand it more for the defensive guys than the offensive guys…

My point being: the current portal rules all but mitigate the “gamble” of him staying at UA

You're pretty fricking stupid if you believe Saban promised any recruit in the last year or two that he wouldn't retire during their 4 years.
