Maybe so.. but it doesn't make those actions less childish or immature.
This far out, retrospect on this situation should be 20/20.. but it clearly isn't. I think the problem is immature and/or young fans that are being far too controlled by their emotions.
Had he left LSU directly for Bama OR had he deliberately sabotaged y'all's program on the way out somehow... then maybe I'd be inclined to feel those feelings are well founded.
Idk, just blows my mind this is still being rationalized by so many.
It blows my mind that Alabama fans, a group that claims to be as passionate as any in the country, just can't understand how LSU fans would be upset at how the whole thing went down.
He didn't even get fired by the Dolphins, dude QUIT his NFL "challenge" to come back and compete directly with us.

Point is Saban held LSU hostage until Christmas Eve when all reports doing october of that same year had him flirting with the NFL. And it just was a matter of the right offer. But he knew he was gone wayyyy before December 24. By the way that is the same year Lou Holtz stepped down at USCe and recommended Spurrier.
Now just think at the time this happenned if Spurrier had a choice between LSU and USCe. Heck Saban even recommended Houston Dale Nutt as his successor.

I think we HAVE proven to be as passionate as any fan-base. Look at how we pack out spring practice. We don't claim to be passionate. We do what fans can do to show our support... buy tickets, GO to games, yell... buy the billions of shirts.
It's asinine how much judgement gets poured on any coach for a change of course. It is life meeting business. The people that don't get that are chock full of their own myopic mental constructions.
This is the real world. Hard to argue that it was a bad choice.
Anyone that says they'd do differently than he did needs to seriously consider examining themselves for honesty. It really is irrational to think poorly of a man doing what's best for his life and his children and grandchildren's futures.
Get a grip!
