So you saw something different when he was processing players ? Were they discipline problems ? Did they have grade issues ? Nothing was done illegally, but even the diehards knew what was going on. The words "the Process" took on an entire different meaning. Why are you running from it ?



If I remember correctly 1 player complained about what was going on in a WSJ article. After years of digging and looking for complaining during the oversigning debate during the hot days of the media's Saban is the devil campaign.

Again, how does the same standard of normal coach turnover on the roster (including former guys who are either told or figure out on their own that they don't fit the new regime) apply to everyone else and not Saban?

It's just another bar that you hold Saban to and somehow just don't apply to everyone else (see upsets about 4 pages back).

You can argue that telling kids who are already at a place that they won't fit in the new system is wrong or unseemly, that's fine. But acting as if Saban doing that isn't common with all new coaches is not.

I always thought you were one of the few Bama fans that would occasionally take off his Crimson Colored glasses when discussing a serious issue. I see I was wrong in that respect. Nobody is holding Saban to a different standard. He did it in broad daylight and over numerous seasons. And most were his own recruits. That is how the system worked. Sign 30 recruits after chasing off the ones who are not progressing to your satisfaction, the next year run off 5-8 more and sign 30 again. Over a four year period you have signed an additional class. Survival of the fittest and just like they do in the Pros.
