This is where it gets interesting to me.

See $aban's antics and "I am the king you shall all kneel" work, when you are winning.  I am not so much talking about the fans, but the players.  When you win, being a constant dickhead to your players is excusable.  However, when you start to lose... coaches constant yelling can get annoying.

Hell one of the recruits said it, if you are looking for a strictly business atmosphere, win at all costs, you go to bama.  If you want a family first, football is important, but so is having fun atmosphere you go to Auburn.

So is he able to continue to hold this team together with his Napoleonic attitude? Or does he lose them leading to losses against MSU and AU?  Thoughts?

I don't really know if he will hold this team together or not but I would be willing to bet he doesn't change his attitude. Matter of fact, he probably thinks he hasn't been hard enough.

This has always been a huge difference between our coach and theirs.  Now both teams are facing some adversity - Auburn dealing with the Cam stuff and bammer losing.  You can see the cultures in both locker rooms  - and to be honest, both fan bases - shining though clear as day.  Coming together or disintegrating into a million pieces.

For Saban, this has to be deja vu all over again.  This is EXACTLY what LSU fans did to him after he won the egg there... booing losses, unreasonable expectations, tons of criticism... and you see how well that worked out for his relationship with the Geaux Tigers.

Saban to Dallas.

[Townhallsavoy]

I don't think Saban goes to Dallas.

Saban to Oakland? 

Maybe.

Maybe.

Don't do that to Campbell.

Cable is doing ok there. They are relevant again. I think the wench is onto something here.

This is also where he can start to lose ACs who simply wanted there ticket punched when they came to work for his sorry dickhead ass anyway, and who have their own ideas about how to do shit.
