re: Finebaum "Saban Built the Program LSU has Today"

Saban was the single most reponsible person for that loss. He screwed up their kicker for the rest of the game and had to rely on that screwed up kicker when the marbles were down. Lil Nicky's play calling in OT is what lost it for them. They put themselves out of FG range. They'd have been better off kicking the 3 on first down! A shuffle pass and then 2 pass plays that were shut down. DUMB!
Not to mention putting Maze out with a bum ankle to field Wings' 72 yard punt??? HEL-LOOOOO?
Why doens' the media chastize him for that crap? No wonder he can't make it in the NFL.

Is it funny that this Saban worship by the bama fanbase proves Saban is bigger than UA...what does that say about the mighty bama program?

I just do not let it stand. The man came in here when we needed him and did a good job - a job for which he was well compensated. We had a strong fan base to begin with and we collectively bought into his particular brand of football.

He left to pursue other opportunities and we wished him well. He quit on his dreams and took a job with one of our most hated rivals. He has done a good job for them - one for which he has been well compensated.

Saban may be bigger than UA. He's not bigger than LSU. He's not much taller than my twin girls.

Shula built Saban's....

That WOULD have been Dinardos claim to fame???? OK. I will do it your way. Saban won a TITLE at LSU. Gerry did not. Its pretty simple.

I just do this to counter your blatantly false "ashes" allegory. When Dinardo took over, THAT was some straight up dog $hit, on top of garbage, on top of ashes. He won - immediately. His coaching job from 1995 through 1997 was outstanding - in every aspect. His coordinator choices and stubborness doomed him at the end - but in 1999 when Saban took over, the program was reeling but not in shambles. There was a significant number of great players already on the team, and much of the damage from the Archer/Hallman period had been repaired and shored up.

It is not that complicated. Saban did take that and elevate that to a national title, but it was NOT built up from nothing. Period. Stop saying it if you don't want me to counter it.

Finebaum is an attention whore. The man cannot put two logical premises together and come up with an absolute conclusion. Please Finebaum, go suck dick or go screw your sister dude.

Whoa - I won't go that far - PJ is so completely wrong, but at the same time so passionately so, I can't really hold his being wrong, which is about 70-80% of the time (at what I see PJ, sorry man), against him.

He's wrong in such an entertaining way. (And he does know football - I think it's his "people" skills that are woefully deficient.)

Saban won with Dinardo's players

Why does anyone care about Finebaum's opinion? He obviously has always catered to the Alabama fanbase. They need their egos stroked and that's what finescum is there to do

Finebaum does not let the truth get in the way of a good story.
