As an alumnus, the football coach's personality does not matter as much as the results. Running a dirty program is one thing but mere personality doesn't matter.

Yeah, I agree.

It's like some people are in a state of conceded rationalization about Saban at this point -- meaning -- they've conceded that he's the best, so now they have to rationalize (reach/exaggerate/fabricate etc.) why he's a bad person.

As for Doucet's story, I don't take much of anything from it. Saban would possibly have a different account of what happened. Also, regarding this part:

quote:
"That's okay," Saban deadpanned

Saban's humor is typically deadpan/dry. It sounds to me like this was Saban's way of making light of the situation. This part especially sounds like Saban's brand of deadpan humor:

quote:
"I tell you what guys (oh no). If we COACH, the way you guys PARK, we're not going to win a game this year," Saban declared.

I should have said -- I agree to the extent that we're just talking about idiosyncrasies. I think there's a baseline of decency that matters in terms of treating people with dignity/respect/honesty, etc. -- and I think Saban is fine in this area, despite the negative caricature many people want to try to portray him as.
