Saban Fatigue/Fed Up?
« on: January 03, 2018, 02:48:59 PM »
I normally keep a radio on in the office and in the car, mostly tuned to sports talk stations during the week days.  Today has been unique in that I've heard 3 different sports talk hosts/guests just ripping Nick Saban a new one.  Seems that playing back to back weeks in the playoffs ruffled his back hair and his complaint about it has prompted some particularly scathing vitriol from the talking heads.

Just heard Chuck Oliver bring it up.  He used it as an indictment of coaches in general but really singled out Saban by saying anytime he tells you it's about the kids, he really means it's about him.  He said stop complaining when Georgia (Fuck Georgia!) had a far worse travel schedule than you did and they have to play in the same game.  He brought up Saban complaining about the hurry-up offenses and how it's detrimental to the players.  Then he starts changing his offense to run a faster pace and more plays.  Basically called him a hippo-krit.

But the kicker was this morning.  On the Dan Libtard show, Stugotz absolutely went off.  ESPN's Marty Smith was in the Bama football lounge and had a bunch of players there.  Stugotz told him to text the names of the players there with him and indicated they had the Libtard show on in the lounge.  Stugotz started calling out the names.  Hey Calvin Ridley, you think Nick Saban cares about you?  Think again.  He may have you fooled but it's all about Nick Saban.  Hey Bo Scarbrough, Saban doesn't give a damn about you.  He's making millions off you and your teammates.  He says it's all about the players.  No, it's all about him. 

He went on and on and was yelling while Libtard was laughing his ass off.  Are people growing tired of his shit?  Remember, if you don't even win your conference, you shouldn't be in the playoffs.

I hate georgia. I do.

But they actually got to the seccg. They actually won the seccg. They beat their 3 hated rivals like a drum.
And beat their classic rival the second time around.

Bama did NONE of the above.

And georgia got the reward of having to travel to another coast 3 time zones away and play probably the hottest and most dangerous team in the country. While bammer got to sit home basically and play a flawed team they were extremely familiar with that was a shell of itself at the qb position.

Give me a fuckin break.

If you live in Alabama and don't have Saban fatigue, you're a bammer, or not paying attention.  The college football world has bammer fatigue and they should. This shit has gotten old...but here's the thing...nobody can stop them.  Yeah, we beat them, but they are in, and we're not.  Saban didn't take a quarter of the season to figure out his team's personality on offense like Gus, or blow a 3 TD lead against a mediocre LSU squad.  As an Auburn fan I despise Saban.  Without the orange and blue glasses, I can fully appreciate how he coaches and maintains a program.  Saban cares for his players in the way many coaches do...he provides them with solid environment and a chance to succeed at this level and the next.  He does all he can for those that will do for themselves and the team.

When Saban was making his comments about the scheduling, he also brought up Georgia's situation.  They obviously have it worse than Alabama.  They were in a 12 round heavyweight fight with Oklahoma on the other side of the country.  Now they have to come back to Athens, and then leave again Friday.  That leaves you with a solid 2 days of practice at home.  In this case, I think it is a clear disadvantage to Georgia.  As an Alabama fan, I'll take it.  And Saban certainly isn't advocating solely on Georgia's behalf.  But it's not very fair to Georgia, and I think that it is a perfect illustration of a flaw that they should probably fix. 

Who here thinks Georgia's situation is fair?

Nick Saban will always complain. The trophy won't be big enough. Or too big. Or too heavy.  :rolleyes:

He was asked a question.  He answered.  I don't know if anyone has asked Smart.  Saban is an asshole, but he's right about this one.  If you think it doesn't create a disadvantage for UGA, I can't help you.  Like I said, of course he's not advocating for UGA.  But I think that he sees the clear disadvantage they are at and looking ahead, knows Alabama could also be in that situation at some point in the future.

If uga don't want the disadvantage, they should have lost!

Not trolling at all.  It's a valid point.  If literally any coach on the planet made the same point, I would agree with it.  Saban is an asshole, and sometimes his rants are off point, but he's right on this one.

They're both bad situations.  I don't disagree that the SECCG is a bad setup too.  I just don't think that there is anything you can do about that.  Personally, in the playoff era, I think that the SECCG puts the SEC at a disadvantage.  The past two years, there has been a team make it into the playoffs that wasn't a conference champion.  Last year, tOSU got waxed.  This year, Alabama beat the #1 team convincingly.  If there were no SECCG this year, in theory, AU would have been in.  The committee has shown that under the right circumstances, being a conference champion is not necessary.  So, why continue to have it?

With the playoffs, there is some wiggle room for scheduling.  A few extra days for the championship game is doable.

Honestly, he whines about everything.  I have never seen someone complain so much about their job. 

Complains about early signing, fast offenses, scheduling.  Give me a fucking break.

He complains more than Prowler, about Trump.  The guy is a smarmy asshole!

Smartest thing you have ever said on here. Get rid of the conference championship game.  I say play 12 games with two off weekends- 9 in conference games, 1 OOC Power 5 School and 2 whomever.

Take the championship to 8 games: 5 Power 5 Championship winners and 3 at large.  Get rid of the rest of the bowl games or at least 80% of them.
