The best coach in the game. He dominates the competition & does it the right way. Alabama has never had any NCAA troubles on his watch; they lead the SEC and are among the nation's best in GPA, graduation rates, and both Nick & the players were integral in helping in the community after the tornado. All the disillusioned, bitter, envious haters out there who blast Saban have baseless, unfounded arguments, and only want to bash the best because he is the best. It's just that simple. There truly is not an ounce of legitimacy to those absurd comments the haters make about Nick Saban not having class, values, or integrity. There just isn't. I don't even know where they get this shit from. The man is intense, determined, and focused on the goal. He's not the sweetest man in the world, but I promise you he is not a bad human being because of it. He has much wisdom & advice for all who will listen. And I guarantee you that if you did listen, you would be better human beings for doing so.
After reading some of the comments from years ago I'm still amazed by the amount of hate people can have. Which was something my wife taught me while she was dying. She said that hate is evil. That anger leads to hatred & hatred leads to evil & evil deeds. You don't need that. Leave it alone. If you leave your hatred by the wayside it will not follow you. Which this man that spoke before Saban wanted to go to the NFL. BUT he didn't want to do it to become a great football player. He wanted to do it so he could start a large place that could take in abused & unwanted kids so that they could have a better life. And I'm not sure, but I think Coach Bryant saw the good of creating such a place & helped raise the money for him to do it without him having to play in the NFL. I had always personally thought that those losses to Notre Dame by one & two points was by means of a pay off even though as a child I didn't understand why, I think I do understand now & that it was for a greater good! I could be wrong, & it wouldn't be the first time. But to be honest, I had already heard that same speech that Saban gave. It was the man that spoke before him that touched my heart. Saban's speech is more of a motivation & the man beforehand is more of a spiritual calling to affect people in a positive manner & try to lift them above a sense of degradation that has been instilled in them. Which is truly a noble purpose & I appreciate & applaud the man & his efforts. Oh, and another thing. As far as Woody Hayes goes, this is the only time I've ever heard something positive being said about Woody Hayes. And I'm just going to leave it at that.
shit....if we win the national in 2013 it will strictly be that we prepared for it above and beyond what we were expecting......notre dame? all coaches have a different game plan for what there against....and even as a bama fan!!!! ...its all about what we do in preperation for the game.......its all down to the players giving it there best.... calling the right plays...and for ''either team'' not giving up when the games not going in there favor
Go Bama Roll tide,HA HA HA.Here we are again playing for the National championship and we got the best coach in america.you like all usc players will be watching the great crimson tide go for its' 15 national championship,boy it must really suck to be you.
he did return to the city of Miami.......guess what? He brought home a second straight national championship! Roll Tide. Congrats on being preseason national champs though!!
notre dame as the bad asses as they are !!!!!and bama as we are..going one on one.....thats it.....notre shame.....? ......inbred Alabama.......? come one .....we can talk all the shit we want about this game........calling them notre shame....and us ....crimson turds... thats ridiculous...... give us both the respect we deserve......two teams that are going to work there ass off for a bcs title......anyone that says anything else could not be a fan of either of the teams....greymoose1000 ?????
saban in a hour or so is saying what bear bryant said in 2 minutes in a freshman speech way back when.......a disciplned 90 rated player can beat a undiscipled 100 rated player becuase on game day the 100 rated player is a 90 and the disclipled 90 is a 100....not the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog
greymoose you know the bottom line is to win games and keep you program off probation and make sure playerd graduate,saban does that bottom line,unlike chezick who is about to be fired and most likley program will recieve sancations from the ncaa, this is the same man who preaches all in and values ...... bottom line who do you want leading your team ,just saying
