Saban's wife forced him to go to Alabama

[AugustaGator]

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

I do not watch much pro ball, at least since the 80's. I did not see the offensive linemen quit/strike. Maybe they did. If so, cudos to them.

To my understanding, his management philosophy has not changed. Do you see his record at Bama?

People, for some reason, admire this behavior from their leaders (sic).

So you advocate for professional players to quit on their team? In the process, other players (i.e. QB, RB) could get hurt. You are saying that it's a good idea for them to risk future earning potential, their family's security, the health and financial well being of teammates? All over a little nutsack like lil Nicky? Yeah, that makes sense.

With all the disfunction in that house and a dad with advanced narcissistic personality disorder, at least daddy's little princess turned out alright:

The guy is totally driven and is a winner.

This.

I'd kill for a fraction of his drive and dedication.

Yeah, I'd kill to have the drive to step over my unconscious players without emotion.

Hope Mac learned something from Saban on how to put up W's. Saban's coaching tree includes Derek Dooley and Will Muschamp. It also includes Mark Dantonio and Jimbo Fisher. Muschamp, of course, was never a head coach when he came to UF. McElwain has already built a successful program at Colorado State. I think McElwain is a better fit at Florida than Muschamp.

The guy has won 12-13 mythical national 'ships at alabumble... more reasons for jealousy/hatred from fans of SEC schools....

facepalm. It is called principles.

If you quit on the field (or the office), you are pussy with no morals. Have the balls to back up your beliefs and face the ramifications of your decisions. It's called maturity.

I was merely pointing out that I admire the focus, drive and dedication to a single purpose of high achievers. Forgive my oversight of not throwing in the apparently obligatory handwringing and words of tearful regret for his moment of insensitivity (I'm sure one of many such moments). Saban's inherent douchiness is universally recognized. Even by Bammers.

Of course the flipside is, at least he didn't step on his unconscious player.

By quit, I mean resign, i.e. find another position on another team or profession. Not quit on the field, i.e. collect a pay check without doing what you were hired to do.

People are not serfs nor slaves to their employers nor do they have indemnity from the employer's principles. They have a right and duty to quit when their principles they sign up for are not adhered to by the employers. Otherwise, they are complicit and just as guilty as the employer.

I should not have assumed you would be disposed to this way of thinking.

I should say they aren't slaves. Have you seen an NFL contract lately. They couldn't really resign. They could retire and seek employment in another industry. As far as playing football, they were pretty much owned.

As to the thread title : "Saban's wife forced him to go to Alabama" …. I think arm wrestling at the dinner table is a valid
way of making family decisions.
