a lot of Fins fans wanted him fired mid-season of 2006.
Then why are you still angry? It's been seven years. Let it go.

Why are we angry?
Ok, the general sentiment here is as follows (best articulated by Dan LeBatard circa late 2006/ early 2007).
Saban underachieved both years with the Fins. Additionally, he did a lot of damage to the roster through poor drafts, the Culpepper debacle (not saban's fault though), and losing key younger pieces replaced with older vets (part saban's fault, part organization's fault).
Then the real kicker was people thought he was a liar and coward. Saban (IMO) saw the writing on the wall. He would be fired the next year, possibly during the season. Fins fans were ready to fire him midway through the 2006 season. Saban knew he wouldn't be able to win with the roster he had in 2007. He quit. He bolted town. And he did it in secret in the middle of the night.
After two years of preaching his sermon about rising to and accepting challenges, and demanding it of everyone around him, he proved to be a hypocrit and a quiter when it mattered.
THAT is why Fins fans can't stand him.
