Coach Saban has proven time and time again that he wins championships and bounces back from tough losses, yet many of our “fans” feel like they have the expertise to question his coaching staff decisions.

Newsflash: most fans know little about the technicalities of football, and very few of us know enough about the inner workings of the Alabama Football program to question anything Saban does.

This is a message board. People come here to vent and blow off steam. People don't have to agree with everything that Saban does. No one here pretends to know more than Coach Saban, but we are all allowed to have our own opinions.

If you think this is an Alabama problem, why don't you look at other message boards. EVERY sports team with a message board has this going on. It's been going on before the internet, it was just called water cooler talk at work.

If people don't like dissenting opinions, then maybe they should join a cult

I agree. I’m not happy about a lot of things, but you’d think we’ve struggled for years under him the way people are freaking out.

I know me personally, I thought we might contend for a Natty or two while he was here. The last 12 years has been incredible and beyond my wildest dreams.

He may or may not win anything else but how can you NOT give him the benefit of the doubt here.

Message board fans, for the most part, are the worst fans of each team. The cesspool type which you described do not deserve Saban but the majority of Bama fans are not like the typical message board maggots.

Stupid people are usually the most vocal, and it's not a coincidence either.

Also, the best thing about Nick Saban is this attitude:

If you just mindlessly agree with everything the staff does, what is the point of posting on here at all?

Everyone knows this. I'm sure the heads at Disney/ESPN know more about running a company than me, but that didn't stop them from launching the Longhorn Network that basically every average joe predicted would flop.

Do you always blindly follow authority figures in your life?

Go post on TIdeFans if you're gonna be such a nancy.

Don't tell me what I do or do not deserve slick. Especially don't do it because you are butthurt about what you read on the internet. Nobody deserves Nick Saban as their coach but I suffered through Dubose and the ncaa and Mike Shula so I won't apologize for Saban even if I do question his decision making. He is not God and he isn't perfect.

You’re probably right. You don’t deserve Nick Saban.

This is a message forum, hoss. Discussing our opinions on various happenings is what we do and no one- not even Nick Saban- is above some legitimate questioning, criticism, or disagreement, at times. If you have a problem with that, maybe message forums aren’t for you.

But, *I* don’t deserve to have to log onto this forum and see some pretentious jackass telling me what I don’t deserve for daring to have a valid thought or opinion. Get out of here with that trash.

And, I’m probably not the worlds foremost football expert. You got me, there.

But, I can assure you that every person of sound mind above the age of 4 who has ever seen a football knew that fake field goal was coming Monday night. And everyone of them above the age of 2 knew it wasn’t going to work after we saw the defense in field goal safe for 10 seconds before the snap.

That’s just an example to highlight the fact that coaches aren’t above criticism or questioning from fans- doesn’t matter who they are.

This is a discussion forum. Love it or leave it.

This site is the king of people who act as though they know about football and then open their moths and prove they don’t.

Saban has forgotten more about football than the combined knowledge of this board. Guy could give us a year with a team, take his for a week and prepare for us, drink all the night before and beat us bad while hungover.

You're simply witnessing human nature. The majority of us are bitches by nature, and we can indulge in our flaw without having to physically confront the "guilty party". The fact that we don't confront the said party leads us to the chickenshit aspect of human nature.

Most fans know enough about the technicalities of football to know that running a fake FG with your 3rd string QB running behind your PK as a lead blocker, when the defense is in kick-safe, is just a bad idea.
