Talked about how it can stop rational decision making when one party has too much power. Saban loses to auburn and gets a 30% pay raise, boosters paying off his house etc. saban owns the state of AL and this can be unhealthy (also gave Paterno as an example)
That's silly. Saban's success at Alabama is pretty much unmatched at the moment. He's bringing in a ton of revenue for the school. What are people supposed to do? He's the type of coach that's necessary at UA. Most great HCs at most schools have tons of political capital.
Comparing it to Penn State is silly. I don't see him as the type who'd let one person jeopardize the entire operation.

FIrst, There are some talking heads that might know a little but his guy, tomy knowledge has never set foot in the state.
2nd, the problem other coaches had at Bama was they WEREN'T in control. It was run by trustees, influential alums, etc and everybody said that was the problem. The good ole boys calling the shots. Now, we have a coach that has total control of football decisions, which by the way, is the only way to be successful ( ask John Fox, Jimmy Johnson, Steve Spurrier with the Skins how it is answering to people and not having control) and now all of a sudden its a problem.
Bottom line. IF we have issues, so be it. Let us worry about these things. We will consult you if we think you can be of help but we seem to be doing pretty good. Cowherd, LSU fans, Ghandi or the Pope shouldn't have any concern with what we do. We win, he calls the shots, we support him. Good enough.
I think most of you have your own set of problems to address anyway.
