Matt was not some immature college kid back then, as he played pro baseball for a few yrs before coming to LSU. What he's saying about Saban & his relationships with players is common knowledge here in Baton Rouge. His personality, as a coach & as a person, is well known, locally & nationwide. Certainly you bama ranters here are not going to dispute that this sounds just like him? Matt was simply describing his relationship with his HC.

Really odd that he followed Saban to BR. He was going to play for him at Michigan St before his MiLB stint

He literally whined that Saban wasn't "mad" when he got injured.

Yes, that sounds exactly like Saban. But Mauck is acting like the world was supposed to revolve around him when everyone knows that isn't how Saban leads. He expected Saban to be mad when he got hurt? He was shocked that Saban's focus went to the following season after winning a title?

If anything it sounds like Saban is the much bigger man here. He respected Mauck enough as a two sport athlete that he asked if he would be willing to talk to a young man who was struggling with playing both sports.

Mauck sounds bitter that Saban gets all the credit for that 2003 title and Mauck is now a name most of America would have to google if you mentioned him.

He is who he is, this isn’t news to anyone. Not his job to be pals with anyone on the team, including the starting QB. You should also mention Mauck said in that same interview that he regrets not coming back in 04. So it couldn’t have been THAT bad between them.

Also, if you interview enough players you’ll find one that will say any coach was a dick. I’m sure there is someone on Clemson’s roster right now who doesn’t like Dabo, same for LSU and O. Even the player’s coaches play favorites based on who they think is going to help the team more, which will rub someone else the wrong way.
