That is going to be used vs Saban in recruiting big time.
This guy is beginning to lose it.

All that said, wouldn't blame any coach for using this to negative recruit against Saban.

"I love all my players unlike that tyrant in Tuscaloosa. I will be there for you for the rest of your life. Just say the word and I'll be there."

Use whatever you can.

I love this being taken out of context. If you listen to the full clip, it's pretty clear he's referring to the total person and all the contributions they make to everyone around them. Saban is old school. His old man set a very high bar with him in terms of expectations. Not many kids (especially these days) are going to clear that bar. Far from scaring off recruits, I think it reminds them of what is expected of them. It's not like Saban is hurting for kids willing to subject themselves to his demanding process. There are plenty of other coaches you can play for if you want to practice your dance moves.

You're right. If you have heat stroke and go into a seizure in the tunnel, take it outside. Nick doesn't need to step over you to get to his office.

I mean seriously, what's he been there 12 years?


Didn't hear the whole thing but you can even interpret it as it spans his entire career. So that's over 40 years of coaching and only 4 or 5 make the list. Holy shite LSU broke Nicky. He is falling apart.

"Well, I've had hundreds of guys that have played their asses off for me for four years. Except for about 4 or 5, I really don't give a shite about any of them, one way or another."

I love Saban.

I only love 1 person at a time. I can't love more than 1 person.

This is totally taken out of context.

When a student is failing, I might say he is one of the few students to come thru this school that can overcome and pass. Of course there have been numerous students to overcome their own troubles and end of passing, it's just something we say.

You guys just need to settle down. Nothing to see here.

A great many of you baws ragging on Saban would be bent over forwards in ready position if Trump did anything similar. Or if Saban were still rocking the P&G.

Not sure where politics comes to play in this. As for Nick, I never said he was a bad coach. He's possibly the greatest CFB HC ever, but that doesn't mean he's not a douche bag.
