And you guys barely noticed Saban's departure as the 2005, 2006, and 2007 seasons so obviously indicate.
that's really not the point.
Again I know you don't care because it's not your team and that's cool. All I ask for is to not be a complete hypocrite when you've had the same thing happen to you. Yeah I know you're going to do everything you can to differentiate the two because one happened to Alabama and the other didn't but don't think you can pass that bullshite off on me son.

That really is the point. Fran leaving Alabama for Texas A&M is not the issue. Not too many people would have stayed given the situation we were in with the NCAA sanctions as bad as they were. I don't blame him for leaving.
HOWEVER, he owed it to his players to confront them face to face and tell them he was leaving, especially considering how he BEGGED the upperclassmen to stay after the sanctions were handed down. Instead he got onto a plane in the middle of the night, telling no one, not even the administration, and flew to College Station while he had Carl Torbush - our defensive coordinator - stay behind and tell the players the bad news. Then Torbush upped and left for College Station to join Fran right after the team meeting was concluded.
Please tell me how that's anyway similar to how Saban handled the team in the aftermath of him taking the Miami job.
