Usually it's Miss and Coach and they wouldn't dare refer to Coach Saban in such a casual manner as to say "Nick"

The title of "Coach" should be used to refer to anyone who actually coaches for a living. First names should be used by close friends only, or if the individual requests it be used....fools will always find a way to identify themselves.

He shouldn't get mad about anything!

Nick reaches boiling point on every mistake made by his team and coaches.......that didn't start yesterday. That is his nature and he will not Change. Now he can work on it but he can't change it.

Your post is the perfect example of fools identifying themselves.

Off topic, why is she referred to as Miss Terry? I doubt no other fanbase knows, nor cares, the name of a coach's wife. Kinda creepy honestly


She introduces herself as Terry Saban and when one replies, "Miss Terry", she smilingly approves.

Calling the ladies "Miss" in the South is a term of endearment and respect.

Are you a transplanted Yankee frick?

You gumps are so delusional and so obsessed with your own program that someone, probably on TideFans, actually came to the conclusion that Terry bitchslapped Nick Saban and that's why he is being nice? And all of you are just going to run with this story?

Are you a Yankee transplant that attended college from the South? Most Southerners are completely aware that calling an older woman Miss [first name] is both a term of respect and of fondness. Hell, I call my personal doctor Miss [first name] and she understands it's even more of a mark of respect than calling her Doctor [first name]

It'd actually pretty common here on -- perhaps because people have time to think about it -- for posters to call their own program's coach Coach whatever (or use the initial, i.e. CEO), and just refer to other programs' coaches by their first/last/nickname. I started noticing that years ago.

Eh, I've never understood non-players calling a coach, "Coach". I had some friends who went into teaching/coaching. They weren't at their first jobs a week before they were calling each other Coach, instead of by their first names, and these guys had been friends for years. Very cringy.

Unless you are/were my coach, then I will address you as Mr. So-and-so.

I don't ask people to call me Engineer LittleJerrySeinfeld.

Let's be honest, Saban most likely doesn't really care about what gump nation calls him or even thinks about him.

It's called Catholic guilt.

And Miss Terry is probably quite skilled at it.

Comes naturally to the womenz.

Interesting aside...

Got to meet my daughter's new Sunday School teacher a couple weeks ago and she says the kids can address her as "Miss [first name]" or "Mrs. [last name]". She explains that she is originally from somewhere in Michigan (I forget where) and this was common. As we live in Oregon (but I'm originally from south Louisiana) I was somewhat amused and asked her about it. First time I had ever heard of that phenomenon outside of the South or Appalachia (Saban and his wife are from West Virginia). I told her that even though I'm now in my 40s I still think of my longtime friend's mothers as "Miss [first name]".

So apparently there are a few Yankees who also engage in this practice.

I've been called many things in my life, but Yankee might be the worst. Not a transplant though my folks were military. Georgian by blood and sweat though. I was raised to call someone by their last name if they are older. Of course inserting Mrs/Ms. or Mr. First name is too familiar and I probably would have gotten a whoopin.
Come to think of it, why am I even arguing this?
