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.

No, it really isn't. I don't give a shite about the minute details, just like you don't give a shite about the minute details over here. The point is that an Alabama fan who wants to give us shite over being pissed at Saban at any point needs to look in the mirror or else not say 1 word about Fran because we've both been burned by coaches.
You really just don't get that it doesn't matter how you view our situation or how we view yours. The point is that our respective fan bases were equally offended by how everything went down. The difference though is that you don't see LSU fans telling Alabama people how they should feel about Fran, unlike you hypocrite gumps.
