Because it gives opponents more tape to look at.

Seriously?

Why is this guy so perpetually angry and miserable? He has a good colorist and more money than God.

I'd be willing to bet that's not the reason he doesn't like it on TV.

He doesn't like it on TV because lazy fans won't show up in as high of a number if they can sit at home and watch the game on TV.

Packed house helps with recruiting, and 70,000 people in a stadium that holds 100K is underwhelming.

I don't see how his players can keep a straight face when they're taking orders from him. If he and I were ever in the same room and he was trying to act like a hardass, I definitely would start cracking up.

I don't know if you realize it, but the man isn't worried about recruiting... This has nothing to do with recruiting.. 5 people could show up and he'd still sign a top 3 class.

This opinion is so tired. Everyone knows how he works. It's pretty obvious by now that he isn't ok with NOT covering literally every base in order to maximize Alabama's chances of success. He doesn't give two shits what he looks like or how he comes off when doing it either.

That said, how many players and coaches and acquaintances need to say he's an awesome guy before people realize it?

Any link, Slippy, or are you just throwing shite at the wall? I googled Saban spring game TV and it brought me to your thread.

I agree with this to some degree but don't forget that having a spring game on tv whether it is on the SEC Network or ESPN is a recruiting tool in it self.

Why would anyone be intimidated by him? At least we know how you'd react to his presence...
