Nick Saban is a JERK!

[ddthetide]

he used the word catastrophic event, then searched for an example. granted they were poor examples.

DD, yes I did see the confrence. I thought his examples were terrible and I thought that I conveyed that in my post. There must be better examples for him to use than the 2 most deadliest inncidents in U.S. history. Speaking as a person who knew 5 people that died on 9/11 and witnessed the second plane go into the tower, I feel that Mr. Saban trying to say that Alabama football is going to be different after losing to Miss St. and ULM (catastrophic events). I believe that he insinuated that losing those 2 games was a catastrophy. Just that by itself is ridiculous, but then loosley mentioning other catastrophes (9/11 & Pearl Harbor) is insane. He did an extemely poor job trying to get his point across!

Saban represents Bama well, as trash.

Coming from someone who supports a team coached by the 'trashiest' coach of them all (Weis), this is pretty funny.

I don't care for Saban, but watch this if you get a chance... if you can fast forward to the 18th minute, you will see Saban in a new light. Wow.

yet another example of the media trying to create a story that really isn't there. alabama lost to ulm, that is a catastrophe for the bama team, and for recruiting. he wasn't likening the event to 9-11, he just said that just like people coming together after a catastrophe like that, his team would move forward after this loss.

It was a horrible analogy & he comes across as an arrogant egomaniac, in every minute, including the 18th.

Someone like that should be able to come up with a better analogy.

I do not think the media needs to come up another story, the last two losses should provide enough material. Not to mention that they have Auburn this week. Like I said, I just believe that he did a very poor job trying to convey his message. There was no reason for him to bring up those events. I also think using the word catastropic in terms of football loses and or seasons is a bit over the top. Come on Nick, this is college football. How many people in the country said on Saturday that, "Wow that is a catastropic loss for Alabama" Get real you egotistical maniac. And if he has to do something to motivate his team for Auburn, he is in really big trouble. If they can't get up for that game then maybe he should call the Dolphins back.

I think to him(Saban) it was like 9-11,but he was stupid for saying it.

math, you are from nj? you and everyone else outside of the SEC don't understand. in the world of the SEC and Alabama losing to msu and ulm in consecutive weeks, IS catastrophic. danzig and Cajun are SEC'ers they understand. it's the SEC football culture. saban's comments were poor but not meant to offend.

we've heard rumors all season that saban inherited BIG bunch of BAD attitudes. the coaching staff figured after the ut victory the bad attitudes had been fixed. it is now appearent after the embarrassment of the last 2 weeks the only fix will be a purge the program.
a big number of the bad apples graduate, the rest will have to be run off or wait another graduating class.
by Alabama and saban's standards, efforts like the last 2 weeks are completely UNACCEPTABLE!
do i expect any better this week? no. do you have ANY idea how bad it rips my guts out to type this? or saturday night to sit and watch auburn beat us for a 6th straight time? and know their talent isn't that much better than Bama's.
so yes saban is tring to get this bunch to put up a fight against the barners.
