Piss on this sawed-off crybaby.

Beat him: "I WANT THE RULES CHANGED"

Leave his staff: "THESE ARE MY SLAVES...THEY HAVE TO STAY"

quote:

Here’s an excerpt from an article from AL.com.

At one point, that yielded some commentary from Saban that hinted at some friction between him and former assistants, Georgia coach Kirby Smart and Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt.

“We’ve always had sort of a mutual respect for how we sort of take each other’s people,” Saban said to Belichick of their relationship. “It’s one thing that I always try to emphasize to the guys: what I have a tough time with, aight, is we’ve had however many guys who have worked here who are at Georgia, Tennessee — whoever, wherever — is when they get those jobs, and in most cases you’ve helped them, is they have a hard time understanding why they can’t take your people.

“I’m gonna help you get a job, [only] so that you can take what I’ve tried to build here and destroy the continuity of what I have? It’s amazing how some of the assistants don’t understand why that’s not a good thing.”

Is there a worse figure in all of sports? Seriously, the older this man gets, he just looks so whiny and petty.

Consequences of success.

But he need not worry, most assistants from his staff go on to fail and will subsequently return to his staff.

hell, Pruitt could swap all his coaches for all of Saban's coaches and still lose most of the UT vs UA games.

Did Coach Bryant piss and moan like this as his shine faded?

Would Kirby be head coach at GA without his time at Alabama with Saban? Probably not. So why shouldn't Saban gripe about him taking his staff with him when Saban gave him all the opportunity to get where he was? So many companies have non-compete clauses and prohibit such tactics due to the inherent conflicts of interest.

Kirby also took a pic of Bama's recruit board and used it against Bama. Kirby lost a lot of the good will he would have had at Bama for his years of service by doing these underhanded things.

Can he really blame Tennessee? They need all the help they can get.

I agree with Nicky Poo on this one. You don't bite the hand that fed you. That runs along the same basis of stealing recruits in the year of transition. Kinda like what Andy Cannizaro did to Paul Mainieri.

Kind of ironic since LSU became the springboard of Saban's rise to the top and he has spent his time at Bama negative recruiting LSU and the state of Louisiana.

In all honesty to Nick, this doesn’t seem fair!

The man can coach, but, good God Almighty, he is an insufferable prick.

Are these other coaches not supposed to compete? Just lay down and bleed. Take your Bama lumps and like it, slave.

Savanas is losing his grip.
He gone.

What am I missing? Did someone force Saban's assistants to jump ship and follow Pruitt or Kirby? If an assistant leaves for a better position and more pay on another staff you can't blame the assistant for improving himself. If an assistant makes a lateral move then that's on Saban.
