Saban is a good coach but seems like an a$$hole. I'm glad we now have Miles.




Why do fans care if the coach is an a-hole or not? Winning games/championships is all that really matters. Everything else is just noise.

People don't like assholes and find it easier to cheer for someone that seems human? Seems pretty simple to me.

Not saying I particularly care, but the reasons other people would care are pretty self-evident.

To fans, it may not matter too much.

To families that have to make the decision on where they want to send their kids for four years of their young life, it may have an impact. Parents want to know their child matters personally to the coach and not just a number on the roster. It's difficult to prove our coaches have this quality, but it does seem these qualities are mentioned more with LM and staff than. NS and staff.

Because not everyone believes in succeeding at all costs. Not everyone believes in cutting others down to get to the top.

Thankfully, some of us are mature enough to find importance in respect and dignity.

Im very sorry the American dream has become what it has. Do what you gotta do to win or succeed.

Coaches are leaders of men. They are a huge influence in the lives of their student athletes, but also a megaphone in the media. People look to them and admire them. Like it or not they are role models by default.

So if youre okay with someone being a complete arse who disrespects anyone because he is a "winner", then good luck raising your family. Youre kids will be a bunch of douche bags and your son will be a pothead like Sabans, and your daughter will be a fighting sorority delinquent like Sabans.

As long as you shite on a golden toilet seat, who cares who has to wipe your arse for you, right?

The regular season ticket fan base and all those others that are in Tiger Stadium for every home game, want the Championships. Could care less if the Head Coach is a "Nice Guy" or not. The only people that "prefer" the nice guy are message board Sunshine Pumper types.

BTW, where are all the SP's? Never actually met a SP either before the game on campus, in Tiger Stadium or afterwards around town. They apparently only exist on-line. Not out in the real world. All the real flesh and blood Terran's don't want nice. They want Championships..........

Ok so I did not get past this post...

How you treat people says a lot about your character. And a decade from now games/championships will be noise and your character will be all that matters!

because winning championships is NOT all that really matters in college. this "noise" you refer to is damn important; graduating players, esp the non NFL guys, building character, representing LSU, a university, with class and dignity and running an honest program.

if you are not an LSU student or graduate I understand that LSU is your "professional" team, but to me and many other alum LSU is our alma mater's team. big difference.

saban should be in the pro's if winning at all costs is all that matters. oh, now I remember, he failed in the pro's.

You are kidding....right? I don't know of anyone who wants to have dealings with an "a-hole".

And if winning is the only thing that should be important to fans, then why do some here get all pissy with Miles.
