Oh man, poor little fella. He doesn’t mind repeating his mantras a thousand times over, but god forbid this lady ask him about the Qb situation three times. He is a jackass

so the media has been asking what he saw from his two QB's after the first game of the season...........for months?



That question she asked at the end of the game was a clever way of asking: "Who is the starter from here on?"

Which is essentially the same question they have been asking since the end of the national championship game.

he question "What answers do you have about your quarterbacks after watching both of them play tonight?" is simply a clever way of rephrasing the same question.

Completely legitimate to ask what he thought about his QB’s after the game, AND ask him who’s gonna start before the game. I see nothing wrong with Maria’s questions here. Saban is just an a-hole. Just own it.

wrong......it was a simple question about how the QB's played in this game.

She asked him who the starting QB was going to be 30 seconds before KO. saban came with a dick answer that time too.

He is a great coach.
He is an arse.
bama fans are sheep.
water is wet.

Okay. You're an SJW. Conversation over.

And you’re an enabler two can play that game. Saban chose to be a dick nobody made that choice for him.

He was annoyed

Oh so that makes it okay? Any time Sabans annoyed he can do what he wants, and he’s free from criticism. Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds? Does anyone else on earth get that pass?

Maria Taylor would stomp a hole in his runt arse if she wasn’t such a professional


Maybe so, but Saban would still make that pumpkin pie haircutted freak Kirby Smart eat Mount Cody's old jock strap any time he wanted to.

I felt like he was talking to the whole media through her. But he didn't make it clear that he wasn't trying to single her out.

He also was putting the focus on himself and taking it off of the team. With the way Ole Miss looked with Ta'amu (spelling), Saban knows that might be a really tough game in two weeks.

And remember, Saban has said many times that every time he rants to the media, there is a reason for what he's doing. But, I think it's good that he reached out to her, but I also feel like it wasn't that big of a deal and she took it in stride.

I hope our next head coach has similar mental problems because something's working.


My guess is you can be a great coach and a douche nozzle but one has little to do with the other.

And yet the three best coaches in college football today are seen as douche nozzles. Coincidence?

Of course there is, we just want Bama fans to call a spade a spade, and stop blaming Sabans shortcomings on anyone else but him.

Maria Taylor's job is to ask questions. How Saban or any other person being interviewed answers/gives non-answers/gets pissed off is up to them. Saban got pissed and Maria Taylor handled it like a professional.

That’s his right, but to turn around and act like the media isn’t interested in the best football program in the countries QB race is silly. He should have said there both great we’ll watch the film and see and move on. Saban can’t do that though he has to assert his dominance, that’s who he is because everyone lets him. That’s what happens when you win. It is what it is.



Spot on. I understand he’s human and understand he’s annoyed. But we have a body of evidence when it comes to Saban and the media. Usually I laugh, because some of the things he says are genuinely funny, and I’m all for putting down a reporter who asks a dumb question.

But Maria was simply doing her job and asking a question that everyone, bama fans included, want to know the answer to. It’s really not that hard to deflect these questions away without being a complete arse about it. People in all kinds of careers have to learn how to be cordial and treat people with respect even when you’d rather give them a piece of your mind.

And yes, he only gets a pass because of his status. Many of the greats are dicks to the media. Belichick and Pop come to mind. Saban is definitely the worst though.
