Yes. Very common and accepted thought that Saban was thinking of his future in the NFL when he was discussing and agreeing to coach the miami dolphins. I don't hate him for that, it is understandable. We are all human

@plaxicoburress
I recall Nick Saban telling me to stay in school finish what I started, I wasnt 1st round pick and he left for LSU b4 the season was over
quote:Saban doesn't give a frick if they want to chase their dream. He wants players who are giving full effort because he has a whole team, fanbase, and bosses who REALLY want Alabama to win. In no way shape or form does this tweet make sense. He tries to maximize their chances to win. If a guy is gonna coast he needs to know. What the hell does that have to do with chasing dreams of being at LSU or the NFL?
quote: @plaxicoburress Now Nick Saban goes on tv saying that kids are distracted by NFL projections. Well, the kids are just chasing a dream that you were. $$$
quote:What does this even mean? What does LSU giving Saban money...have to do with...idk what he's trying to say....chase dreams? None of this makes sense. None of it.
Now Nick Saban players are being distracted by the NFL and chasing a dream, haha tell your story Nick. LSU showed you $$, you was GONE! Ha

Looks like Saban gave him the best advice possible. I have a hard time believing Saban doesn't act in the best interest of his players.

You're saying Plax is correct, and this proves Saban is a hypocrite, all because people think he didn't give effort. That's the weakest argument I've ever heard dude. You're point is nowhere near strong enough to have a thread full of people saying THIS proves Saban is a straight hypocrite.

You can disagree but it is very easy to see the point he is making. And most people agree that the points are valid. It isn't a big deal, Saban like all humans is a hypocrite
Posted on 7/15/15 at 6:58 pm to ReauxlTide222
And what proof do you have the players were distracted? Those are just as "baseless". The fact is a coach in discussions with an NFL team who announced he is leaving during bowl prep is likely distracted, just like a player is

He's talking about 21 and 22 year old kids that haven't done anything yet. Jeebus!

Of course Saban is one of the best coaches of all time. Doesn't stop him from being a hypocrite

If his crazy arse thinks his players aren't trying then that a problem for him. Wanting to avoid that is what a good coach does. How the shite is that being a hypocrite because he was good enough to attract NFL teams?

Nick Saban is a compulsive fricking liar. Plaxico isn't giving us any new, ground-breaking information here.

No it isn't. He was distracted every offseason by NFL teams and it affected our recruiting at the time.
It's why he didn't dominate at LSU like he has at Bama.

What do you call taking LSU from the doldrums of Hallman and Dinardo to a BCS Championship, and left enough talent to win another. In three years we won a championship. In four years we won another. Now its been seven years.
I would give him the benefit of the doubt. What if he hadn't taken the LSU HC position???

at the fact that UA fans will fight to the death over any negative comment made about Saban. Accept the fact that you have a HOF HC. Who just so happens to be a hypocrite and a liar. Posted on 7/15/15 at 8:08 pm to lsusteve1
