That makes me very sad but I'm going to express my anger elsewhere.

Pope Benedict. Mother Teresa. Queen Elizabeth. King James. Coach Saban. Sounds fitting to me.

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.



So you could not refer someone who is a doctor as a doctor if you were not their patient? Same thing with a reverand or rabbi?

So say in the future coach Saban leaves bama to be the coach at auburn. Does he still receive the honor of being called coach Saban by the bama fans?

I'm unclear why other fan bases give a shite how we refer to the coach of the college football team we cheer for?

I think the real question is..Do you think CNS gives a rip what we call him? I guess it just sounds better, I like to refer to Les Miles as Coach Les Miles it just sounds better I suppose.

Names that dont sound right:
Coach Nutt
Coach Shula
Coach Dubose
Coach Perkins
Coach Price

Names that sound right with out the "Coach" tag:
Cholly Mac
Bear Bryant
Muschamp
Fat Phil
Barbara Dooley's kid

Its an issue of respect.

Coincidentally, it drives me cray to hear one of my peers address a college instructors on a first name basis. Heck even a proffessor gets a Dr. from me whenever I mention them.
