Alabama has a problem as a university culture of having to worship its coach. Saban has to be larger than life to justify the worship. He must have made LSU and MSU and Miami and everywhere to justify the gross amount of adulation and blind loyalty they heap on him. The fans of Shaud Williams nation need him to be a folk hero, otherwise he's Mike Dubose. Would you want to worship Mike Dubose?
are you even talking about?? Alabama doesn't have "a problem as a university culture of having to worship its coach". Some of the fans probably do but so do Green Bay Packers fans who worship players and coaches for that matter. Some New Orleans Saints fans think Drew Brees should've been cannonized (sp?) by the Catholic Church the year he won the Super Bowl. Talk about a freakish lack of perspective. The improper perspective of some Alabama fans isn't unique at all. It certainly isn't a "university image problem". Alabama's academic reputation as a school has never been better than it is now. Consistently rated among the Top 50 public universities in the country and routinely the 4th or 5th best SEC school academically behind Vandy, Florida, and UGA right there with Auburn.

Which isn't what I said at all. Your WTF is likely because you did not get the point. I suggest you take the term "university image problem" and read it as "culture of having to worship its coach" in order to get the meaning. Again, Saban has to be the best who ever lived so that the praise that is unconditionally lavished upon him is justified. Where you got academics from is a feat of mental gymnastics the envy of all the world.
