Real talk. It is a state of Alabama thing. Coach will be Coach until he dies...whether he is a T-ball coach or the head man at the flagship university of the state of Alabama.

It's a bit annoying when grown men call rival coaches immature nicknames*.. such as sabear or chizit....

*excludes Merlins.. I like that one

I'm not even sure why that one is suppose to be an insult. It's like the use of UAT.

I don't understand it either. I never refer to Saban as Coach Saban. It makes no sense calling him by that title unless you were a former player of his.

I think it is just being respectful.

You can call him Coach or BAMF. Either one works for me.

I realize it's the more goofy part of your fanbase.


It's the respectful part of our fanbase. I refer to the coaches I have respect for as Coach Bryant, Coach Stallings, and Coach Saban. I refer to the coaches that I think were fricktards as Mike Price, Dennis Franch-y-oney, and Mike Dubose. I refer to the kid that got fist fricked sideways and never really had a chance in hell given what was dropped in his lap Mike Shula.

This is what Coach Bryant was talking about when he said to act like you've been there. When your program can claim a national championship in a major sport of any kind, then maybe someone will care about your opinion on the proper way to address the person responsible for coaching the team that brought it home.

Until that day happens, you can call your coach Mary fricking Poppins for all I care. I'll continue to call mine Coach <Last Name>.

Coach Bryant is taking a dirt nap, he can't talk.
