Why is it that when Saban acts like a first class asshole in a press conference (or Bellichek does) they're praised for it? When either one of them stalks out of a conference or berates a reporter, everybody chuckles and talks about their competitive fire?
Cam is rushed to the podium before even getting a chance to take a shower and he isn't happy. He's the worst human being ever.
I was in a press conference once where Gene Stallings verbally assaulted a female reporter. Called her a useless bag with tits, asked if she'd ever seen a football before in her life and told the rest of the people in there that if she opened her goddamn mouth one more time he wasn't going to answer another question the rest of the year. Yeah, her question was a little dumb, but he went all vein-popping hulk on her. Nobody said shit about that.
Maybe he could/should have acted differently. I don't care. I understand that aching desire to win that he has and that drives him. If you drag me in front of a bunch of reporters after my team lost the state title and before I have a chance to meet with my team and get over it a little when I was coaching in high school? My interview would have probably been as bad as that or worse. I have NO problem admitting that I'm a sore loser. Fucking hate losing. I hate the opposition in the moment. Hate their guts.
It's part of the reason I'm still in business after 12 years, though.
