"CFB is just a business...he has to look after himself". Odd, that was not the perspective when one of your former HC's bailed on you. I have pictures of his bobble head toy hanging from a noose in downtown T town. That coach was hated & vilified when he did just what Saban, and many other coaches, have done to "look out for #1".

To be fair, a coach leaving by yelling 'bye' out the window of a moving airplane is a different thing. One of the most classless moves in modern coaching.

Other fans commonly misunderstand the reasons for the anger. Few Alabama fans blamed him for leaving, given the sanctions that the school was facing. He'd said "hold the rope" to all sorts of players convincing them to stay, and then he left without telling them to their face.

THAT is why Alabama fans were so upset. The players were tearing down his picture and crumpling it up.
