ETA: the takeaway is that it's clear Saban hates the current state of CFB because he can't be the dictator/lord of the manor he used to be


We know when Saban realized he couldn't control players in the NFL he quit. With the changes in college football and Saban not having that control over his players, I don't see him lasting much longer.

“Alabama losing becomes the story of the day”

That tells you everything you need to know about Paul Finebaum and Alabama.

Finebaum sounds like a bama fan on the rant. He said this is Saban’s worst coaching job. They are 7-2 right now and can still make a ny6 bowl. He seems very butthurt


He is just driving ratings, which is his job. A lot of people like you will say he is just on a Bama rant. A lot of people will agree with him that Kirby has taken over as of the NC game earlier this year. Either way, people he is trying to lure in to watch/listen have an opinion. His show will be listened to by a lot of people today for the purpose of listening to Bama fans losing it.

yup. And the easiest way to do that is to goad fans.

In this case, he's goading Gumps with a sidebar to Barners.

Finebaum is a hack. What the frick does he know about anything?


I am starting to think ESPN is keeping him around to report on the angle of the end of the Saban era. Once Saban goes, Finebaum goes soon after, but Paul may be the most credible, on a national level, to give that insight. The end of the GOAT is news worthy, and maybe the transition to who the new head coach is. Just a hunch. And Finebaum has been one of the loudest voices saying something is changing.
