I have so much newfound respect for Nick Saban


Jan 12, 2017, 10:34 AM

Let's be honest,

Our hatred of Nick Saban isn't really a hatred derived from evil. The hate we all have for Nick Saban is really derived from jealousy. The rest of the college football world "hates" Nick Saban because they are jealous of his success.

But now that I see him on the losing end...I finally see his true character. He is a man of INTEGRITY. Unlike Urban Meyer, Saban has been an incredibly gracious loser. Pouring compliments to Clemson and Dabo Swinney. The way most of his players have responded also shows you the culture they have.

I also just found out Nick Saban is a devout Christian but he doesn't wear it on his sleeve like Coach Swinney.

I'm sure Nick Saban's group of friends is small. This small group includes Dabo Swinney. That really tells you everything you need to know.

It's alot easier to recognize greatness once you reach greatness yourself.

Thank you Alabama...The win is so much sweeter because you are who you are.

Great post. I heard my dad curse the Yankees my whole life, finally I asked him why he hated them "because they win so #### much"! We are programmed to pull for the underdog, Bama is never the underdog.

He doesn't have a great personality, lots of people don't. We have no control over how God made us.

Did you not see the reported cheap shots boy his players trying to take out Watson and Williams to name a couple?Were you there or trying to decipher it on tv which would be hard at best? Do you think he did not order his players to taker out the top Clemson player(s) if possible? If you don't gert this, you really need help!


The guy is a piece of crap, scum etc. Don't give me the Christian line sit is an affront to those of us who are believers.
I truly can't believer what you wrote.
I've spoken with probably 2 dozen people who all saw the same thing I did. Mama was trying to take our top players out. If you want to see it for sure look at a replay of the game as it is so obvious.

Sorry for being so blunt but apparently m,any Clemson fans just don't get it!!

So you think Dabo tells Boulware to go out there and hurt the other team's players? Or maybe, just maybe, he's playing FOOTBALL.

Yes, they should have been called for targeting at least twice based on the current rules. But it wasn't dirty or malicious.

Re: I have so much newfound respect for Nick Saban


Jan 12, 2017, 10:56 AM

I understand what you are saying and it is all true. I know he is devout Christian and Dabo's friend and all that. Maybe he got lost in all the hooplah and the desire to win, I don't know. However, I think he strongly encouraged his players to try and take Watson out of the game. He may not have told them to go out and hurt him, but I think he did tell them to take away his effectiveness. The way to do that is to make sure he is not in the game. If a coach tells his players to eliminate his good plays, the way they will more than likely do that is to try and hurt him. Just my opinion.

Alabama was flagged for roughing the passer once, for the blow to Watson's head by Reuben Foster early in the game. Should've been targeting, along with Tony Brown's hit on Mike Williams.

I guess some people don't understand this, but yes, coaches do in fact tell their players to go rough up the QB. They want it within the rules, but it's very definitely a strategy. You know, like when Shuey drilled Braxton Miller? Got to look at it objectively, our boys do it too, it's called playing physical football, and it's what wins games against quality teams.

Really now!~ He's about as gracious as an elephant in a swimming pool! Wow!! Some Clemson fans really don't get it. Bet your tune would have changed if they took out Watson and/or Williams. Saban is a piece of crap. Watch the replay you just might see exactly what IO and many others saw. Dirty, freaking cheap shots repeatedly by those things. As far as his comments. i could care less about how they tried to win. They lost and deservedly so. 99 plays to 66 says it all. Look at the stats and it's clear the best team won and absent that pl;ay to Howard and a run by that Hurts character and they loose much bigger.

I'd recommend you watch the replay and you just might see what I'm referring to. Have a nice day

I doubt that Dabo told our boys to go grab nuts and check oil. I did not like the hit on mike Williams. I thought that should have been targeting. However, refs are going to miss calls. They aren't perfect. And now that we won and Mw is ok I'm not going to ##### about it. I prefer our program over sabansainly Bc it seems like our team is out there playing football and having fun. Bama seems to be more like a business. But as for respect. They don't turn over the ball. They usually don't get stupid penalties. They understand importance of entire game including sts. Well run program. And for the last two years I've thought no one but bama could have beat us in those two games and no one but clemson could have beat bama in those two games.

Allow me to address a few points you brought up


Jan 12, 2017, 11:26 AM [ in reply to Re: I thought his post-game interview outside the locker room ]

1) "Really now!~" - Is this an actual exclamation or was it meant to be a question, can you also describe your decision to use "~" there?
2) "He's about as gracious as an elephant in a swimming pool!" - Please explain further, why would an elephant in a swimming pool not be gracious?
3) "Bet your tune would have changed if they took out Watson and/or Williams." - First, was Saban the one making those hits? Second, "took out" lol, just lol
4) "Saban is a piece of crap" - well that's just a well thought out, well-executed, well-worded argument
5) "Watch the replay you just might see exactly what IO and many others saw" - What? IO? I don't need to watch a replay, I saw the game.
6) "Dirty, freaking cheap shots repeatedly by those things." What things are you referring to? Btw, targeting is ridiculous and many times it's BS when a player gets ejected. They could have called it on Boulware once as well.
7) "i could care less about how they tried to win" So you care? How much do you care now? Why didn't you capitalize "i?"
8) "They lost and deservedly so." Well this is one point we both agree on, kudos!
9) "...absent that pl;ay to Howard and a run by that Hurts character and they loose much bigger." This is potentially one of the most poorly written sentences I've ever seen on tnet, and that's saying something. Aside from saying "pl;ay" and not knowing the difference between lose and loose, do you really think it's an earth-shattering argument to say that if Alabama hadn't scored those two touchdowns they wouldn't have had as many points as they did? What a brilliant revelation! Also, if Renfrow hadn't caught those 2 TD passes, we would've scored less points.
10) "Have a nice day" But for your lack of punctuation, this would've been the best sentence in your entire post. So close.

Fear taught them that. Same as the ridiculous holds.
I doubt Saban or even Pruitt were "ordering" players to take cheap shots or to hold like it was a slow song at prom. That stuff doesn't get taught.

The players themselves were very afraid of losing, and it showed.

Did he scold the guys who targeted Mike and DW?


Jan 12, 2017, 11:48 AM

The most noble postgame comment I ever heard was, "I got outcoached.' It's a shame that was from JoPa. Saban said: 'I taught them all I could.' He also said 'We just needed to make a few more plays and 'we missed some plays,' in his postgame presser.

Authority brings responsibility which leads to accountability. A man who assumes the position of ultimate authority does not shirk the responsibility and always holds himself accountable. By refusing to take responsibility he violate a natural law and disgraces his lofty position, imo.

I never hated Saban but I lost respect.

I generally agree with you TW, He knew he got beat fair and square and a decent man would do what he did. But I also believe he would try to rip our throat out if given another chance.

Before passing judgement simply ask yourself, if Ben Boulware played for another team then how would you feel about him. Ben plays football - stuff happens.

Until she lands the alpha male as a prom date...he screwed over Michigan state and the Miami dolphins...he has no loyalty or scruples compared to dabo...he is also a chameleon ala urban Meyer ....changing to whatever style/approach that gives him the edge...this post season he's been very dabo-esque in his approach with the media...almost managed to sound humble..but make no mistake, he runs a meat grinding, semi pro football factory and his ego is as big as his program...I will never see him as anything but self serving and I wouldn't trade dabos sweatshirt for st. Nick! IMO....dabo is dabo because he made the decision long ago to be himself...stating many times he can't be anything else...saban is phony bologna IMO.

I agree, he reacted better than I expected him too.


Jan 12, 2017, 3:15 PM

However, this article provides many good laughs! I think my favorite part was this:

Saban, you see, doesn’t smile.

So much so that commenting on it has become an Internet meme. When the Miami Herald’s Greg Cote witnessed the man smile, he wrote of the moment, “There was a rusty creaking sound, an emission of hell’s gasses and then the release of screeching bats as Saban’s lips parted.”

He's just hard to like.

Some coaches are easy to dislike however ...

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I know why I don't like him


Jan 13, 2017, 6:40 AM

And it's because he runs a soulless, joyless program that is more like a machine than a team. Winning seems to be an incurable addiction for him, not a passion. And I don't like that.

I don't have a particularly strong dislike for him like I do some other coaches/former coaches, but his whole program and philosophy leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Jan 13, 2017, 8:53 PM

When he was the Dolphin's coach he said 8 different times he would not be the next coach at Alabama knowing all along he would be. Just don't answer the question. Say "I am the coach here now and will answer questions about this team."

Instead he lied then left my childhood favorite pro team in shambles.

In this video walk around and look for Dabo for three minutes after the game. He didn't have to do that he chose to do it. I appreciate that

He doesn't meet the Clemson standard


Jan 13, 2017, 7:19 PM

Dabo's standards are far beyond anything Saban dreams of. Saban wants his boys to win games while Dabo wants his boys to win life.


Dabo doesn't support criminals on his team. He will punish the best player or the worst. He is a man of his word that will honor a scholarship. Saban will play any good player despite the crimes. He oversigns every year abandoning 18 year old kids or forcing them to greyshirt. He treats these kids like it's the pros and gets rid of anyone that wont win him more games.


He gave Watson and Dabo credit because he know's are team is better. He know's we were better than him last year too. Accepting reality doesn't make him a good guy.

Him refusing to leave tje field until he found Dabo in all that mass of humanity stuck with me . That was not easy to do , considering all of the thousands of people that were taller than him .

I as well was impressed with Coach Saban, and I have to admit I have called him Satan. Their players supported him, and showed grace and class in defeat as well. Very surprising since they have experienced defeat so infrequently. Williams especially seemed like a great kid.

What I do hate is that godforesaken spit of an arrogant fan base of theirs.

I love that we won beating a team that is undoubtedly one of the best programs/dynasty's ever in College Football. We didn't beat a hot PAC-12 team or B1G school, we beat Alabama, which says so much more. Now, let's become the dynasty.
