At Nashville reporter broached White's claims of improper offers in the recruiting process. Alabama spokesman Jeff Purinton stepped in and said Saban was not with the program at the time of White's recruitment. But Saban responded anyway. "I didn't even know it happened," he said. "So I can't comment on it. ... Is that the best thing we can talk about? ... kiss my arse."

Can't blame Saban for that one. White was before Saban, so it's kind of pointless to bring it up to him.

Saban always responds this way when questions get close to challenging him.

He knows what is going on. He is trying to intimidate people from asking about it. This is his tell.

You think that Saban doesn't know how his recruits get brand new cars?

So the reporter asks about how Alabama recruited a player while he was still at LSY? I'd say he took it easy on that reporter.

He is a jerk who can't handle a question that he doesn't like without losing his mind.

Unless he is kissing up on ESPN to build his profile.

Saban was at LSU when White was at WV, Saban offered White a scholarship at LSU but not as a QB, I think WV is the only school offered him as a QB.

A reporter asks Saban, the self-declared king of college football about the recruiting process. Why would Saban know what Alabama offered Pat White? But, LSU was recruiting Pat White at the time and he could have spoken to the process, since he is the expert and everything and since he goes on ESPN every chance he gets to talk about the game.

He could have just answered it. Instead, he got defensive which tells me that he was probably offering stuff when he was at LSU and he is dirty now.

That is what Saban does. He blows up if he thinks he is being challenged. But, you are right. A sane person would not think that the question had anything to do with him at all. He could have answered objectively about recruiting.

Now, he doesn't want to talk about recruiting when it is all he wants to talk about at other times? Ok. Whatever.

You're a fricking retard if you think LSU doesn't do the same exact corrupt shite. All schools do.

There is no proof he offered anyone anything while at LSU. Just wanted that for the record.
