I know that LSU fans, in real life and online forums, from the very first day he was hired said that he was going to quit one day, and he did. They were right on that and I have to give them credit. I guess they knew him better than Alabama fans after all.

I went to Mardi-Gras in 2011 and a person decked out in LSU gear came up to me and said Saban wasn't loyal and would quit on Alabama one day. He was right.

I know several Tennessee fans who have always said, since the day Saban was hired, that he wouldn't last. They were right.

My father in law is a big Georgia fan, lives in Kennesaw, and he has always told me that Saban had no loyalty and would quit one day because he was just a mercenary. He was right too.

How did all fans of all other teams get it so right and all Alabama fans were wrong about him?

Are you trying to say that only Alabama fans were right?…

I haven’t really thought about bama much tbh. They haven’t been relevant for a while.

Weird cope.

He’s on a boat right now banging his wife and not giving a damn about Bama or what happened. How does that make you feel?

Why does everyone keep saying this, alter? Like I'm alternating or something? I don't get it.

I’m really enjoying the insights from this new Bama poster. Their posts show a refreshing mix of refinement, wit, and intelligence.

Check my post history bro I also said he would win multiple nattys with you and would stay for 5 years or so, maybe longer if you leave him alone.

I also told you Gumps Mrs Terry wasn’t happy in TTown at one point and some people privately she was bored and you guys dropped the ball on that. To your credit, u took care of that and left Nick alone.

The man did a very, very good job at LSU and Alabama and chose to go out on his own terms at both. How many coaches get to do that?

He retired at age 72 when he really had nothing left to prove and saw changes happening that were making his job a lot less fun. How is that disloyal?

Sounds more like you're ungrateful for everything he did for Alabama.

LSU and Alabama made program altering hires by bringing him in. No regrets there.

He left both LSU and Bama late. Both had very little choice in who there next coach was considering the situation.

Claiming they would be fine without him and with DeBoer trumps being right once. But nice try at a moral victory for the weekend.

Wow, thanks a lot Wolfhound45. I've always respected everyone. White, black, Puerto Rican or even an LSU fan, it doesn't matter to me.

So what if you may have a permanent fishy odor due to the overwhelming amount of seafood and bell peppers you consume like normal people consume bread.

That doesn't matter to me; you do you. I don't care what color you are or how you smell if you are a reasonable person.

You, my new friend, seem like a reasonable person.
