I don't know anything about him other than his love for LSU and the fact that he is terrible on tv.

I'm not listening to that but I can kind of agree with the overall mindset. This is gonna sound pouty or whatever, but saban really has ruined CFB in a lot of ways at least to the casual fan. The last decade everyone just knows ahead of time that bama is going to be elite and almost surely in the title hunt, if not the outright favorite to win the title. Every year.
And I dont' just have modern glassses on, I know that there have always been spurts of greatness along the way. But hell in the 90s you had a decade of 3 programs having that same elite status in FSU, UF, and Nebraska. ANy year could be one of those guys' years. YOu also had some really great programs behind them even if only for a year or 2 (teams like colorado, washington, etc). My point is, even if you thought FSU/UF/NU were the best team going into the season, you still felt like anyone in the top 10 had a shot at a title. Even if there was a small gap from the mega elites up top, you still had your OSU/Tennessee/etcs of the world that make things interesting. The last decade it feels like going into each season you have maybe 3 or 4 teams MAX that even have a remote chance.

What a miserable human being
Spends all of off season talking it up. Then complains when it is here.

Brando is still alive? Huh, didn’t know that.

Yep, and teams that are in the cellar or also-rans now like Colorado, K-State, UCLA, Miami, UNC, Tennessee, etc. would all make noise from time to time in the 1990s-00s

If he truly thinks this, I wish Fox would fire him and he would frick off already.
He and Spencer Tillman are awful anyways. Also, fly in the ointment is dumb and for ten years he's been obsessed with making it happen.

The AFC has been the same way for the past 20 years with a team quarterbacked by Manning, Brady, and Big Ben representing the AFC in the Super Bowl in 15 out of the past 16 years yet I don't hear anywhere near the level of bitching that we do about Bama and Clemson running CFB.

CBS booted him because he wasn't the Bama mouthpiece they needed

It’s a bore because of too many commercial breaks and stoppage in play. That has ruined the experience

You are correct.

If the playoffs were 8 this year, Saban would be in again.
Be careful what you wish for.
