Nick Saban is a JERK!

[tiznowthegreat]

I doubt that he meant to offend anybody - but the bottom line is he did. It probably was taken the wrong way and he probably did not mean it the way people took it. But you really have to question somebody's mental stability, intelligence, and IQ to say something like that. He has dealt with the media for 20+ years. Did he not think that something like that would not raise all kinds of trouble? Bottom line is that he is truly stupid for saying something like that in public, and I don't see how anybody could argue that. What an idiot

Ah yes, I remember it well...I was there!!, It was actually their whole team. The great fatigues game. But actually the Penn State Defense must have been upset by it...they intercepted the great "hurricane" Heisman Vinny 5 times and won the national championship sticking a fork into the great Miami mystique! That was the only one of 5 undefeated Paterno teams thought proper enough by pollsters to actually be given a national title.

AS far as Saban goes, he needs to be more proper in his tragedy comparisons. He coaches the Crimson "Tide", so a more apt tragedy comparison for his loss to La Monroe would be the Indian Ocean earthquake/tsunami in the Indian Ocean in December of 2004 which was kind of a "tidal" type scenario in Indonesia etc. He just needs to be a little quicker on the draw is all.

Maybe Nick Saban can refer to the Titanic during his next press conference.

we heard rumors of this throughout the year but Alabama Football is worse off than we thought. CNS has his hands full.

this is from the Mobile Press Register,

--SLOW FINISH: Alabama receiver DJ Hall, who served a half-game suspension during the loss to ULM, actually pinned a season-ending, four-game losing streak on players not listening to Saban.
"Everything he preaches is the right thing. It's just sometimes we didn't go about it that way, and it showed," Hall said. "That's nobody's fault but ours. All we had to do was buy into what Coach was saying. We realize it now, but obviously, it's too late."
