More stories about the Dolphins former Head Coach

And I spent months embattled with many, many people in this forum for seriously questioning Saban's character and his approach to coaching the team at a time when everyone, myself included, wanted him to be the savior, long before these problems became overtly evident to the typical fan.

Told ya so.

 

He's a despicable person. He should probably be raped by an angry horse.

But I don't blame him for the lie. There is nothing he could have said that would have been better. If he said he did take the job, then he'd be blasted for giving up on the team. If he had said he didn't want to talk about it, it would have been assumed he was taking it and then blasted for giving up on the team.

 

yeah, you're trying to tell us a lot recently.....

 

IMO the take away from this article is the same as what most of us already knew about Saban. He is a great football mind, but a crappy person and a liar. Personally, I place a great deal of importance in how you treat people, particularly how you treat those you can get away with treating poorly. I think that says as much about you as anything else. I'm glad Saban is gone and away from my Miami Dolphins.

 

it was a good call doc..

Saban and Parcells..Maybe we should require the person thats gonna be in charge of our team to give a fu$&..

 

That Jeno James story still amazes. I don't know how anyone could do that.

 

What he could have done is not berate the reporters who asked the question. Like he did with everybody else, he demeaned them and yelled at them for even asking. He's just a classless individual.

 

He does this same crap in Tuscaloosa. They just tolerate it as he is winning games for them, but there are stories there as well that are sweep under the rug. They'll turn on him as soon as the winning stops or he bails for another HC gig. He is reviled in Baton Rouge too for his actions and lies. Guy is a total douche as a person.

 

Totally agree, but I still say lying was the best option he had.

 

Lol....man....you must have the worlds greatest voice to text converter....cuz their is NOOOOO way...you could type on a keyboard after having broken your arms patting yourself on the back as many times as you have.....

 

Guy can flat out coach defensive football though. He's awesome at it.

 

I dislike him even more now that he's making me root for Notre Dame.

 

I hope next season Alabama ends up not being ranked, he is fired, and his attitude eventually gets him beat up in the real world. Seriously if he used the whole "Don't address him unless he addresses you first" mentality in the real world he will be beat up by everyone he meets. Also, if only Mandich did beat up Saban... THat would have been funny and a good lesson to Saban

 

What did this man's parents do to him as a child?

 

Crowder said Saban has an "amazing football mind." He has certainly shown it in college in recent years with Alabama having claimed national titles in 2009 and 2011. But in the NFL he wasn’t exactly a players’ coach.

“I remember once walking into a bathroom (at the team training facility) and I didn’t think anybody would be in there, but Saban was in there,’’ Crowder said. “I said to him, ‘How’s your wife (Terry)?’ He just looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘She’d be a lot better if you could cover the back on third down.’




Lmao. That cracked me up

 

What cracked me up was the arrogant SOB losing the National Championship to Utah in the Sugar Bowl in 09. I still bring that up to watch the faces of obnoxious Tide fans who aren't giving Notre Dame any respect - like they didn't give the Utes at the time...

 

I just plain don't like Saban and I root against him no matter who he coaches for. I've liked Alabama since Bear Bryant was the coach there but I can't root for them while Saban is the coach. He has got a good football mind but he is a sorry person and he was really treacherous for the way he treated Miami. He slithered out of town to Alabama because he knew he had messed up and the team was going to get worse before it ever got better. He thought by sneaking out of Miami and not answering questions would keep his sparkling image and reputation intact. Saban knew it was a bad situation that could only get worse with a couple more loosing seasons in Miami. He knew he might lose any chance of ever getting another head coaching job or at least for a long time and he needed to make an immediate move or loose the chance so he jumped on the Alabama opportunity. Saban's bumbling job helped to bury Miami in the slide they are still trying to climb out of.

 

Saban is amazingly detail oriented.....and a monumental dick head. I am hearing some interesting rumors about Texas and Saban and about double the money.....TIFWIW.

As to the detail oriented part, I give you his 388 page defensive play book

He's a tool, BUT winning cures everything.

I personally find Saban a scumbag, he's Belicheck without the charm, if that is possible.

Also heard he over recruits for positions and screws people over. Look at him like a scorpion, his nature will never change.

 

I'm no Catholic but I damn sure hope Notre Dame kicks Bama's *** in that game.

 

I'm Catholic but I know for sure Alabama is going to win. I hope I'm wrong since I always like Notre Dame.

 

He needs to stay in college were he can be more of a dictator. All bow to satan.

 

That wasn't the national championship. That game was OU-UF

Ive hated Notre Dame almost since the day I first started watching college football. I hope they beat the **** out of Alabama. Saban is a great coach for the college game but the words for him arent really suitable on this board.

 

makes me happy phillbin just gives players the head shake

 

Nick Saban, great and edging toward legendary football coach, absolutely rubbish human being.

 

Dave Hyde chips in with some more:

Zach's the man!

 

Is it humanly possible to get arms around a self inflated head to pat ones own back?
Oh and by the way.....

I've been told to tell you that You are never to directly address the Shou unless the Shou addresses you first.

 

You couldn't come up with a better example of why Saban is a great college coach but can't coach in the NFL. His authoritarian style just doesn't work within the dynamics of that setting.

 

The guy is an *******. But boy can he coach football.

 

He's everything Padre just said and more. But that said, I will be rooting for his team to win tonight. Notre Dame is just that much worse, especially their "fans", most of which have nothing to do with the school, have never even been on the campus.

 

If I remember correctly, it was all about Alex Smith or Aaron Rodgers up to the draft, and for whatever reason, Smith kept rising, and Rodgers (because he was a "system" QB at Cal) kept falling to the point where I think all the draftniks would've accused us of "reaching" and taking him at #2. I remember Satan saying - whether true or not - that he would take Alex Smith if he fell to #2, and of course he didn't, so he went w/ the very solid Ronnie Brown instead. But Christ - Aaron Freaking Rodgers was right there to be had! Uggh!!

Question, though: Rodgers had like three years to sit behind Brett Favre before he started a game. Three years learning from that GB staff (including Philbin) before he was ever thrown to the wolves. How would he have turned out if he started for us sometime in '05, or was - God forbid - left to Cam Cameron if things played out the same way coach wise. Maybe he would've been awesome, who knows, but you have to wonder how much that three-years of marinating in that GB sauce helped him!

 

Saban actually had good offensive coaches.

Nothing wrong with Ridgers being tutored by Jason Garrett, who coincidentally should have been made the OC when Linehan left. Yet another example of Saban not simply trusting what he was doing, to where he felt he needed an expereinced OC, and thus we got Mularkey'd
