How Much Does Saban Really Care About Player Safety?

So AJ becomes another in a long list of Alabama players to disclose they played injured during their time in Tuscaloosa.

The below tweet re: Cy Ko prior to the NFL Draft sounds kind of callus to me. Kouandjio subsequently fell to the 2nd round and I'm sure injury concerns played a large role.
quote:

@RapSheet: Per Bama doc Lyle Cain, Cyrus Kouandjio doesn’t even notice his knee issues during practice, rarely misses work. In 5-6 years, may be issues

Bama players are widely considered to be beat up and worn down by the time they enter the NFL yet Nick Saban chooses to focus on the impact of the HUNH rather than the affect his own "process" has on player safety?

Nevermind.

Saban hates his players.

Didn't you hear about that time 9 years ago when he stepped over the dude who was dying in the floor?

I guess Bert is the only coach in the SEC that really cares about player safety.

Arkansas is the one true tBeacon of the SEC.

It's a contact sport retard. Being hurt is a part of it.

I've heard from a reliable source that he encourages his players to not wear seat belts when driving automobiles.

It's pretty obvious Saban pushes his players farther than any other coach.

Why should he care about a player's *potential* injuries 6 years from now? He's a college football coach, he should only be concerned with winning college football games.

It's cumulative, he is concerned with HUNH adding more injuries to his players.

Saban cares about player safety as much as Auburn fans care about all things Bama. Judging by the threads started this past week by Auburn fans, it seems that is a great deal of care.

'ppreciate your interest in our coach.

There's a difference in being "hurt" and "injured".

Also hearing Nick Saban is a pedophile. Any truth to this, Bama fans?
