Saban made the decision to kick for a field goal instead of punting. It's been a poor coaching decision and Saban has gotten a pass because of his reputation as a good coach.

Perhaps Saban believed in his defense and that it could hold LSU. If he had punted he may have gotten the ball back instead LSU getting closer to the end zone and successfully kicking field goals.

Any other coach with poorer resume would have been implicated. If Bama gets to play LSU again and the result is the same, consider the shine completely off the armor.

He hasn't gotten a pass, at least not here in AL. He's been heavily criticized for deciding to take it to overtime with 1:40ish left and at least a chance to drive down the field and try to win in regulation.
