Nick Saban doesn't have meltdowns over simple questions
Have you ever seen a Nick Saban interview before?
Posted on 5/27/23 at 8:54 am to SETH6180
Asking a guy repeatedly, as the media does, about who his starting QB is going to be, whe he hasn't made a decision, is not a simple question. It's continually asking a question that you know he doesn't have an answer for, because all of his QB's look terrible, from everything I've read.
Now, could he have handled it better than he did? Sure, but we all know how he is. He doesn't like answering anything, but as long as the question isn't stupid, or redundant, he at least keeps his cool, even if he sounds bored all the time.
Asking a question about an injury, of which, Jay has provided no insight whatsoever, that I know of, is not a stupid question. It shouldn't be that hard to just say what it is.

I really don't care for Jay's attitude towards simple questions. He forgets that he can make the kind of money he makes because he has an extremely passionate fanbase who pour themselves into this program. Reporters ask those questions because they know that we, the fans, want to know.

Spoiled? For wanting an answer to a basic question? Who pays his salary? Coaches and athletes don't provide an essential service. Their "profession" contributes nothing to society. I think answering a question that does not involve their personal lives should not be difficult. Literally ever single fan base would be asking this question, and expecting an answer. Because fan interest is the only thing that makes sports "matter". This is what you sign up for, if you're going to be involved in athletics. You know how in the service industry they say the customer is always right? It's because they know who they are beholden to.
Pretentious? Are you certain you know what that means? No one is pretending to be something more than they are by wanting an answer to a basic question. You need to spend more time around the rest of the human race if you think this is something unusual, and only existing within one fan base.

We're all in the dark, because he won't answer the question
It's pretty obvious that there was an issue that he was sat for this past game. I personly don't believe that it was primarily due to an injury or for "rest reasons". Jay has always been cryptic discussing injuries and flat out avoided giving an explanation for Tommy's missed game.
He often uses a lot of coach speak when he doesn't want to directly answer reporter's questions and I think that some of it is to protect or insulate the players from being in the spotlight when it could be viewed as a negative perception or issue as would a discipline benching be considered. I agree that giving opponents injury information can present them with a way to prepare for it and a potential advantage.
But what good does it do to so obviously sweep an issue under the rug and keep it under wraps so tightly? If it was an in house decision to discipline Tommy, I would hope that there are repercussions and that he would face them all week to let the player know how unacceptable it is especially given the point in the season the team is now in.
I applaud Jay for not throwing players under the bus after letdowns and poor play to keep them engaged and working on the underlying issues (think his "trust" of Dutton that he spoke of later in the interview). But IMO he must absolutely do a better job of controlling his emotions if he intends to mask an issue because he made it pretty obvious it was not about "rest" with the way he answered not only Leah's question but another that later asked about Tommy injury status.

Yeah, that's my issue, is he went from being cryptic, to just not answering at all. We knew that there were injuries with other guys, and we knew what body parts were injured. He just didn't update on how severe the injuries were.

I'm good with that, too. I don't need him to to talk about personal/disciplinary issues.

I don't know if it's a non injury related thing, but if it is, yeah, there are excuses he could have made to get people off the case, that wouldn't cause suspicion of a discipline issue. He could have said he had a little tweak of... anything, and that he was sitting out for precautionary reasons. No one would be able to prove otherwise.

JJ is in over his head. Eventually and inevitably he will be fired. Go back and look at his resume. This guy did nothing special. He has more mediocre seasons than he had great season playing against inferior competition. No guy that has more seasons of being 6th place in the Pac 12 than CWS appearances should be our Coach!

Reality is setting in as to how tough this job is.
Here’s my opinion on things. Jay is a young coach. He’s never coached in the SEC until now. Young coaches have to go through the process of learning just like the players do. I mean Jay is the youngest coach we’ve hired since before Skip I think. Skip was a mature older man. Smoke was older. Paul was an older and established baseball coach. We’re not used to seeing a coach who is still learning the best ways to coach. It’s as much of a process for him as it is the players.

She works for a paper owned by a Tulane grad that HATES LSU. What do you expect? She also is going to lose her privileges if she doesn’t watch it. Johnson likely told her why off the record and she fricking asked in the presser anyway. I guarantee you that’s what happened.

Agree. Or take the bullet and just say it was a coaches decision to sit him and let him rest without getting so fiery towards the reporters and making it obvious that there was an issue being masked.

You aren’t OWED anything! Certain shite that happens behind closed doors, should stay behind closed doors. If coach says he’s not playing today because it’s a ‘rest day’ then shutup and leave it alone. It’s clear he doesn’t want to say why he’s out (whether injury, fatigue, or discipline)..
Sorry, but not ALL info should be available for the public. You aren’t special

Absolutely but these aren’t the guys I’m talking about.
Anyone taking an absolute approach towards Jay Johnson’s career are wrong no matter what side of the argument they are on.

Inferior competition compared to who? He didn’t have an SEC roster at Arizona. Some of you people amaze me that you make it through life being that dumb

False. Leah is probably the worst beat reporter to cover LSU—she’s worse than Guilbeau honestly. At least Guilbeau attends LSU games.
