Nick Saban is a JERK!

[MaTH716]

I have always thought that he was an overated coach and a pompous A-Hole. I didn't think he was a stupid individual. But, To use 9/11 and Pearl Harbor in the same paragraph with losing football games is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. How do you compare the two most deadliest attacks on the country, to losing football games? I know that they are trying to spin it as a coming together as a team thing (like the country came together after 9/11). It is just a ludicrous statement / rallying ploy that is very insensitive to the people involved with 9/11 and Pearl Harbor (mind you that both incidents led to war). I guess he is just a stupid man that puts football ahead of everything else.

he used the word catastrophic event, then searched for an example. granted they were poor examples.

DD, yes I did see the confrence. I thought his examples were terrible and I thought that I conveyed that in my post. There must be better examples for him to use than the 2 most deadliest inncidents in U.S. history. Speaking as a person who knew 5 people that died on 9/11 and witnessed the second plane go into the tower, I feel that Mr. Saban trying to say that Alabama football is going to be different after losing to Miss St. and ULM (catastrophic events). I believe that he insinuated that losing those 2 games was a catastrophy. Just that by itself is ridiculous, but then loosley mentioning other catastrophes (9/11 & Pearl Harbor) is insane. He did an extemely poor job trying to get his point across!

Saban represents Bama well, as trash.

Coming from someone who supports a team coached by the 'trashiest' coach of them all (Weis), this is pretty funny.

I don't care for Saban, but watch this if you get a chance... if you can fast forward to the 18th minute, you will see Saban in a new light. Wow.

yet another example of the media trying to create a story that really isn't there. alabama lost to ulm, that is a catastrophe for the bama team, and for recruiting. he wasn't likening the event to 9-11, he just said that just like people coming together after a catastrophe like that, his team would move forward after this loss.

Try not to take things too seriously... it was a poor analogy, but I highly doubt that he was attempting to demean 9/11.
