Still don't understand why people are up in arms about a man expressing his opinion. He thinks that the HUNH puts his players at risk. That is his opinion. He has the right to express it.

I agree he has a right to an opinion and the right to express it. However, those that you describe as up in arms have that right as well.

FWIW, I don't think Saban is scared of HUNH. I just think he prefers not to coach against it and thinks he has more control of the defense against more traditionally paced offenses. I also don't think his support of this rule is tied in any way to any perceived player safety.
