Funny how Saban says he’s now changed and focuses on preparing players for life after football. Do they call it Elephant Journey or what?

As much as i hate to admit it......I agree with Saban on this one in terms of being more prepared for the NFL; however I cant believe he’s really inside the homes of recruits with the “life after football” message. Dabo wanna be.

Ridiculous


Apr 7, 2019, 3:42 PM

I'm wasn't the smartest kid in math class, but even I understood Saban's point. The average 1st rounder gets a $15M contract ($35M for 1st down to $10M for last). The average 3rd rounder gets a $4M contract.

So purely from a 'how much NFL money do I want' perspective, would you take 3rd round money today or 1st round money 12 months later? The 2nd contract won't happen until you're going into your 5th year in the league. In general, the 3rd round guy Saban mentioned, lost $11M on his initial contract by leaving school early.

Yet we have people actually getting offended by Saban stating what is obvious to anyone that can count.

The only reason a kid should leave early is for 1st round money. The contract amounts are public knowledge, so any kid can see what they'll make based on where they are drafted. Saban may as well have said "The sky is blue and water is wet" because it's obvious.

Coming back doesn't always improve your draft stock


Apr 7, 2019, 3:49 PM

That's a big assumption to make. 3rd-rounders don't automatically become 1st-rounders by playing another year, not to mention they increase their risk of suffering a career-ending injury before even making it to the NFL.

You’re correct, but coming back and finishing out their degree makes it better for them in the long run.

Apr 7, 2019, 4:22 PM

players can come back any time and finish their studies.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I disagree on this


Apr 7, 2019, 4:56 PM [ in reply to Re: Coming back doesn't always improve your draft stock ]

While I absolute love that most Clemson players get their degree before they leave and many others come back to finish, I don’t see it as a reason for everyone to stay an extra year and hopefully improve their draft stock.

I am a middle aged white guy that grew up in a divorced but middle class home. I didn’t go to Clemson on athletic scholarship so my choices were different. But if I were able to go pro right now and get millions of dollars or take a chance and come back to maybe improve a little I would go. I understand that many players won’t wver be afforded the opportunity to make a few million.

Heck, most top 3 round guys will make more in their first year than The majority of us will make in a career.

It doesn't look to me like Harrison is bitter about 3rd round money. Is it more beneficial having more money than most of us could spend for an extra year of your life or having 11 million more but for a year less of time? Believe it or not, there are a lot of people out there that would choose to have there life changed sooner.

I don't care what you majored in, if a top company in your industry came to you as a Jr in college and said, we would like to give you a 4 mil contract. How many of us would have told them, nope gotta get my degree 1st.

That's why I have so much respect for our DL that decided to come back last year.

Re: Not a good look for saban.


Apr 7, 2019, 8:19 PM

Plus the player is being paid for the year and it is one less he has to wait until the second contract. I don't fault any player for leaving. They can always get their degrees in the off season if they want.

The average person in this world has no idea how to handle their life financially. No idea. So add to that a young individual that , especially, has no experience making financial decisions and you have a disaster waiting. There is a good chance, that for the majority, there is more money, more security and a better life in general, if you finish your degree and get drafted later. I agree 100% with what he says, Dabo would too.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It was poor form to call a former player out like that


Apr 7, 2019, 11:22 PM

In any case, does anyone really think Saban cares about these guys near as much as he cares about the holes in his depth chart?

Once Tua and those receivers leave he’s done and he knows it. That’s why he’s criticizing players for leaving early all of a sudden.

Apr 8, 2019, 6:54 AM

If you're poor enough, and someone tells you that you're gonna make several million over the next 2-3 years, there's no way I would delay that decision. After you get several million, the extra millions are not all that valuable. I was extremely poor in my youth, so I have a different viewpoint than others might have.
