Based on your previous comment, dumbass is probably a name you hear often.

I’ve never seen Saban “dress down” someone in a one on one setting for a sit down interview.

He won’t be doing beat work or field reporting, so I’m not exactly sure what you’re referencing.

And if he was, what in the world would make anyone think Saban would ask dumb questions to begin with?

UNC where he started out and where there are practically zero football expectations. Also in the pre-NIL/portal era.

Spurrier went to the NFL and sucked. Then went to a place with practically zero football expectations. Also in the pre-NIL/portal era.

Neither comparison is anything remotely close to saban.

I don’t see it happening. He genuinely looks refreshed and happy when I see him on TV. He’s rich as hell, has 7 titles, a statue in front of BDS and a long list of accolades. Unless he just gets to a point where he misses the game, it wouldn’t make sense. He has never been shy about how much he hates the recent changes to CFB.

A losing coach commented on Vince Lombardi's Packers, "We were thinking about winning, and they were thinking about football."

Nick Saban, "Don't Do That shite!!!"

Lincoln Riley, "Our players won't do it."

Massive? We’re projected to just miss it. The game most likely to determine our season comes early and on the road in Norman with a brand new QB and a whole lot of new WRs + Bru coming back from injury. We should be a good team but the schedule is tough and we have no idea how quickly the offense will gel. We also have no idea if the CFB committee has the stomach to put more than 2 or 3 SEC teams in. We could have a situation where one gets left out for the sake of giving other conferences/regions a spot.

Definitely. The likely scenario would be that LSU craters downward, as they are apt to do, and Saban comes to save them again.

He loved Baton Rouge better than any city he has ever lived in and loved lsu fans more than anyone on Earth. He considers leaving there his worst mistake made in his whole life and regrets it every single day and wonders what type of success he could have had there had he just stayed.

He feels, deep in his heart, that Alabama just wasn't the place for him and he never really put his soul into coaching there because it didn't mean anything to him.

At lsu, he could finally achieve his goals of total domination and feel like his life, as a coach, had been worth living.

It will be amazing when it happens. Saban will likely add another 3 NC's to his total. That will be bad-arse.

It would have been different at lsu and he knows that.

It couldn't be any more obvious that you're the only one upvoting every single one of your own posts.


You could at least toggle your browser to your other 6 accounts to try to make it LOOK like you've got some support for your shitty takes.

I think you're forgetting that Saban is 72. He's the same age as Mack Brown. This isn't the age where you take a few years off and then jump back in at 75.

Spurrier quit coaching the Gamecocks when he was 69.

Saban is done.
