I've been telling you guys for a long time about what a low-life Shorty is, but some of the tards just can't get enough of his spunk!

The only two people I know who have had any interaction with Nick Saban as players say the same thing about him:

He's an a-hole who doesn't care about his players, but will win games. He treats you like a part of the process that can be replaced and discarded if not working up to his standards.

Yes, this is big boy football so that's understandable, but he is not interested in developing potential talent, only maximizing the MOST physically talented already, and that is why his players seem to often hit a ceiling or fizzle in the NFL unless they are freak-show talents that could be successful and get drafted from anywhere. I really don't understand how the hell he gets recruits and often keeps draft-eligible players from leaving early. I've always doubted the limited second-hand knowledge that's been described to me because of his ability to get and keep talent. I think he sells the best on championships of course, but also playing time because they will take over any perceived weak spots currently on the team and those weaknesses will be eliminated (processed).

I met a man this weekend who's son played for him at LSU, and he and his son HATE Saban. I will not get into the details, but his son was good enough to get a shot in the NFL (didn't make the roster).

Sorry for the Bama/Saban saga and obsession, but they are currently the king of the hill and anyone who doesn't think about knocking off the best in an attempt to look cool is just full of shite.

I believe Alabama is about to enter a decline, and if the second-hand info about Saban is true, he may bail for greener pastures.
