Pressured Tua into having 2 unnecessary surgeries on his ankles, one last year one a few weeks ago. Then trots him out there to run for his life on one leg, and when he gets crushed by 600 pounds of humans and his hip collapses he gets irritated when people ask him about it. "We should have blocked them better. shrugs - Too Bad." (Tough shite)

His ankles would have healed just fine, but not in the time frame that the University wanted them to. Tua would have been a lock high level draft pick if he would have told Saban, you know coach, I'm ok. I'm gonna let my body heal on its own and I'll just sit until I'm healthy.

But we all know what a shite storm Saban would have if he heard that from Tua. I think about 30 minutes of screaming right in his face describes it correctly.

If you read about what his injury is and what he has to go through for the next YEAR of recovery, its just criminal what Saban did to that young man. All in the name of making his 8 million dollar salary. Tua may never WALK again, much less play football. Draft this year? Forget it. I hope his little brother and family see what Saban did to Tua and get the hell out of there.

Have you even watched the footage of Saban talking to the huddle, and Tua telling him he wanted to stay in.

And of course, the injury was not to his ankle. It was a completely new injury.

He'll be fine, and some NFL team will pay him well,


even after he gets injured in preseason.

Tua wanted to play, he’s a competitor, that being said, Saban has the final say....... sux for Tua.

Tua bears zero responsibility for putting his own body at risk?

Numb nuts, Tua was medically cleared by the team doctor to play. Saban asked Tua if he wanted to play and the kid said YES.

If you’re gonna blame coaches for jeopardizing a players health, you do realize Joe played with a separated shoulder last year. Should Orgeron have sat him on the bench to prevent further injury? This time of year, no players are 100% ... Delpit is a prime example.

All the people bitching and crying about Saban letting Tua play are the same ones the bitched, cried, and said Fournette quit on the team a few years ago when he had a hurt ankle.

And let’s not forget everyone who criticized greedy Williams for sitting out of a bowl game so he wouldn’t get hurt

What we did last Sat. is what will get Saban out of football...losing. At some point, most legendary coaches stay too long and losing tarnishes their legacy. I don't think Saban will let that happen. He has looked liked crap physically this season. He sees the end coming and I believe he knows how and maybe even when it will happen.

Sucks for the kid, but nobody could’ve seen this kind of freak injury coming. Sure, it seems like he should have been pulled in hindsight, but almost every starting QB in the country (ours included) would have still been out on the field with a big first half lead and came out after halftime. Alabama’s OL was more at fault for that injury than Nick Saban was.

Saban will retire after this season. He's done.

Tua knew the stakes. He's a competitor and wanted to play. Saban didn't pressure him into anything.
The play was terribly unfortunate but no one could have know that he would have hit or fallen in such a manner.
You can dislike Saban etc but he didn't cause Tua to get hurt. Players tell coaches all the time that they can't go on and need to sit out and Tua clearly never did that.

This is getting ridiculous. I’m tired of hearing about Tua, Saban, Alabama, and all that shite on an LSU forum. I hate these mofos but Saban is not at fault for what happened yesterday, nobody is. It was a freak accident that has a chance of happening to any of the 22 players on the field.

Aside from that, it’s absolutely devastating to see a football player and a competitor like Tua, have something happen to him like that. I feel really bad for the kid because he’s still just a kid playing something he loves and is an extremely humble person. This is all that matters in this situation and so many of you just need to relax. We’re just fans and no one did anything wrong in this situation so just stfu about Saban please. Let’s talk LSU

Wow, that article does not paint a pretty picture for Tua going forward. It's sad that he was still in the game up at least 4 scores, but this is football and things happen.

I'm sure Saban was looking for a 70 point victory to influence the voters into backing in to another championship series.

Dude calm down. Its unfortunate for Tua, yes. Hes a good kid and one gutsy terrific QB.

Alabama's hopes to get into the Final 4 most likely went down with Tua.
Just as the gumps were blowing the doors off State, giving renewed hope to the faithful that they are 1 of the best 4, its over. Now theres 100's of people and fans suffering over there. Its a devastating reality in 1 play. BAM! and its over.
Saban's priority that day, was to beat the living hell out of them and have Tua put up excellent numbers. Some years it just doesnt go right. No one is immune, player or coach.

It was a heckuva run, I will give Saban and the gumps that. But the playoff run ended with Tua's hip.

Im sure half the pundits will blame Saban. The other half will say it wasnt even halftime. You have a great QB and great receivers in a two minute opportunity to get style points with a blowout halftime domination. You better take it.
They were #5 on the outside looking to move into the top 4.
When you dont control your destiny, you better beat the hell out of everyone, if you can.

Pick your side, theres plenty of ammo for you to make your case, either way.

But, Does it matter? Saban isnt going any where.

Move on, there's nothing to gain here.

But the decline is real.
