What Saban did after the game shows he has class. It was great to see him walk around and talk to the LSU players. Too bad he went to another SEC team! Bama doesn't have a shot against Florida in the SECCCG.

That wasn't class. He was just feeding his ego. King Nick touching the rabble

I honestly hope that this is the last "Saban Bowl". It only adds to the Saban hype. Let's just get the frick over it. He did a good job when he was here. He jumped on the opportunity to take one of the better NFL coaching jobs in America. He bombed, realized that he had made a mistake, and came backto the college ranks.

Does it suck? Sure. Am I happy that he left the way that he did? No. But we've now had a home and away against Bama since he took over there, and it's time to get past this. Next year, it should be about getting a huge win against your primary competitor in the West, not about getting back at Saban for leaving. If he had left FOR Bama, then I might feel differently, but that's not how it went down. MOVE ON!!!

If you ever get the chance to meet Nick Saban, you would be saying otherwise. While at LSU, Saban used to have someone specifically in charge of keeping his wife away from him at parties.

that's just one example I can give you about Saban, but trust me ... Saban is not a very good person, helluva football coach and "builder" tho and Bama is lucky to have him.

Saban's that type of guy. He shines class. He does it all for someone else. He never wants the limelight. Hates the TV cameras on him. That's why he's constantly being interviewed with his dyed hair, fake tan and whitened teeth. It's all about the players, not Nick Saban.

What else did you expect him to do? Any former coach would have done that to kids he had recruited.

in light of how he tried to get former LSU players to recruit on his behalf at 'Bama, I'd say he was doing it to keep his connections fresh with guys he recruited for his future benefit.

maybe i'm cynical, but i believe he did it to make himself look better rather than out of genuine care for the guys he recruited.

Saban saving face, nothing more. Hard to believe this was genuine.

Would he had done this if Bama lost? I do not think so. He has no class. Did you hear what he said after the 1st half? He cut his players to threads. He never mentioned anything about LSU.

CNS has gone out of his way to be nice to you and yours. He did not have to now or later. It was his choice.

Now you can choose to aceept and go forward or lie in the mudhole you are creating for yourselves.

How? By telling recruits the only reason LSU is winning is because of him? Telling recruits that our coaching staff is no good? Calling the people of Louisiana coon asses?

I worked with Saban while he was in Baton Rouge. So I had no ill will when he first got to Tuscaloosa. But when recruits' parents came away from meetings and told the press these things, he burned any bridges he still had left in Baton Rouge.

Swell fella. You should nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.
