C'mon really? How are the situations even remotely comparable?


Aside from Les turning out to be a creep, yes they are. In a sense.

Alabama was wanting to transition to the science based approach to strength and conditioning for some time. They were getting ready to open the new sports science center the year Cochran left. He wasn’t too on board with changing the approach he had been successful with. He was also wanting to get on the field. Saban didn’t exactly push him out but he wasn’t going to give him an on-the-field job either.

Both sides got what they wanted in the end. But I certainly don’t see how you can fault Saban for forcing his hand. He wasn’t anymore obligated to keeping Cochran than LSU was with Miles, just because of past service.

Not obligated, but it seemed a little unceremonious in how it went down. I mean, what's really stopping Saban from giving him a shot with Special teams. Off the bat, you can't honestly say he would be a worse option than what you were already employing.

Unless of course he was some deeper personality issues that would make him unsuitable for the position. Saban would be in a position to know I guess.

I don't understand this. When has human anatomy NOT been science based?
