Saban's wife forced him to go to Alabama

[oxrageous]

As far as the Dolphins experiment, it's obvious Saban hated the NFL. The feeling seemed to be mutual, as the players didn't care for him, either.

Here's a little more on the Jeno James incident:

Jeno James, our best offensive lineman at the time, comes in and collapses after practice, uh, vomiting all kinds of stuff that would make a billygoat puke, eyes rolled in the back of his head. Myself, about four other lineman are trying to carry him from the locker room, to the training room.

Obviously it's a moment of panic, everyone, you know, we don't know if this guy's, you know, gonna die, I mean, the whole deal. But he's so big and sweaty and heavy that we actually have to set him down in the hallway between the locker room and the training room.

Nick Saban literally just starts walking in, steps over Jeno James convulsing, doesn't say a word, doesn't try to help, goes upstairs, I don't know what he does. But then obviously they get Jeno 'trauma-offed' to the hospital.

Saban calls a team meeting about 10:30 that night, comes down and says, 'You know, the captain of the ship can never show fear or indecision, we've always gotta have an answer, and so I had to go upstairs, that's why I walked over Geno like that, I had to collect my thoughts and decide what's best for our team.'

And I'm thinking to myself, I think along with Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas and Yeremiah Bell and all these other guys going, 'Did he, does he really believe what he's just saying?' He showed no human emotion for one of his best players.

Stories like this have been circling around Saban for years. If I had a son that played football, he wouldn't be playing for Saban.

Joy seems like a foreign concept to Saban. A congratulatory phone call he took after winning the BCS title game:

"That damn game cost me a week of recruiting," Saban grumbled into the phone.

Rumsey at first thought he'd misheard. He asked for clarification. Saban repeated himself. He just knew that while he was preparing for the title game, enduring all the banquets and media bull**** that came with it, some other coach was in the living room of one of his recruits, trying to flip the kid. The thought was making him crazy.

Rumsey pointed out that Saban and his team had just been on national television before millions of people—including, most likely, every high school recruit in the country—and reminded Saban that they had won the national championship.

"I said, 'I'm not sure, but I think that helped you,'" Rumsey recalled. "And he said, 'I just don't know. Maybe. Maybe that was good.'"​

Well, listen, I know for a fact that people in that office, they weren’t even allowed to look at him, for God’s sake! Like, I heard a story about his secretary telling him he had a nice haircut, he kind of like grunted at her and kept walking. And then someone later, this Scotty O’Brien, that hatchet man that he had, came up to her and says, "You’re not allowed to speak to the coach! Don’t you dare speak to the coach!" Just nonsense that Scotty O’Brien—he had a hatchet man! What coach has a hatchet man?

I think he and Meyer are very similar in that they are so driven that they cannot enjoy the success. Saban has grumbled about the "win it all or nothing" mindset over in Dumpaloosa. I don't think he's around for more than a couple of more years before he calls it quits. It'll be interesting to see who they go after.

Saban's wife was afraid he was going to go deaf having to listen to Muschamp screaming all the time.

If he is so bad then I wonder why his wife is still around. Usually guys like that run women off left & right. Is it the $ & that he's always gone so she can deal with it?

The guy is totally driven and is a winner. Reminds me of Meyer.

His is wife is the boss. She outweighs him by 200 lbs.

The linemen played for him. It's a recipe that apparently works.

He's what many women dream of marrying...guy who's filthy rich and works 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. She probably shops, gets her hair done, nails, pedicures, massages, etc all day...then complains about him leaving his shoes in the den.

Uh, did you see his record with the Dolphins? You drunk again?

Look at him, the Bozo. What makes Muschamp think players, least of all paid ones, will consistently respond to the over-the-top antics? This dude's been pulling the wool over ears for years. His time is about to come up.

She has Taylor Jacobs' number on speed dial.

I am sure it drives Saban crazy he didn't succeed with the Dolphins with how big his ego is.

Worse was the time Saban stepped over offensive lineman Jeno James, who had collapsed into convulsions and needed to be airlifted to a nearby hospital. Although it might be a stretch to say Saban lost the team over that incident, he clearly earned no points with James’ teammates.


Just WoW... Sickening
