Telling

 

[BMan]

Saban is essentially saying (while couching his words) that he doesn't want to have to compete for players with other checkbooks. So rather than demonstrate his coaching ability, he's bailing.

 

[BMan]

One thing that is beyond dispute though, and it was mentioned in this clip: NIL will destroy college athletics as they have existed for decades. The genie is out of the bottle, and the athletes don't care.

 

[cbhunter]

They leveled the playing field is what he said and now he don't have an edge. Also recently whined about how the players acted after the last loss

 

[Spurhunter]

He acts like developing young people was his life's work. He wanted to win and didn't give a fat rat's ass how. However, he could tell some dumbasses anything and they'd believe it.

Maximizing his paycheck was his life's work.

Nothing wrong with that, but be honest about it.

Dumb

If his goal was to develop players, he would have taken more 3*'s instead of the players that were naturally gifted with talent and physical attributes.

Agreed.

Point he was trying to make and the blinders have been not seeing.

While I can see where all these teams that lost to Saban over the years have sour grapes. And it's many. Not many teams notched a W on the 6 shooter. He makes some reasonable , articulate and well thought out responses in this video.

He and his wife spend years grooming young men for their shot at the NFL, LIFE and beyond and now all they want to know is what are you gonna pay me today.

Says alot about the culture of college football TODAY.

Heck I might just have to start watching bowling .

 

[THEdonkey0515]

Why does a young man that signs a NIL deal stop someone from developing them? Why does coaching tactics, how you develop players or anything like that like that change because his now making Money? News flash in case some idiot didn't know most 5* players have been paid well in college long before NIL. So it's cool to develop college players that got cars and money under the table, but paying players the right way is horrible.

Dude needs to stop crying and enjoy his retirement.

Maybe you weren't seeing it, but everyone else on TnDeer saw it and commented on it.

Time to take those blinders off...

There are plenty of sour grapes in this thread.

Saban is fixing to make about 75 Million alone on ESPN. He is hardly lignin up for the EBT card line or crying. But thank you for the empathy. I'll pass it along.

Yep!

Nah I'm not sour, the OP totally brings things on himself from my end

Think I'll just skip the whole thing, thanks anyway.

That's what I don't understand about some people with big money. They never seem to want to relax and enjoy the fruits of their labors.

When the company I worked with sold in 1999, each of the three owners pulled $60-70M each. One bought a vineyard in Napa with her husband and made wine; one retired to his house in Palm Desert, CA and traveled the world with his wife; the third (and the oldest - he was 70) started a new company and bitched about not having any free time. Hmmmmm.... there's a fix for that.

This is his quote he said his wife said to him.

"She said, 'All they care about is how much you're going to pay them. They don't care about how you're going to develop them, which is what we've always done. So why are we doing this?'

I'd like like to know which of their two multi million dollar homes she said this to him in. Hypocrite is all it screams to me. He made over 12 million coaching last year but he was only doing it to develop and help young people. Give me a break. Take that huge salary you made and donate 90% of it to less privileged and needy young men since your so concerned with their well being. Furthermore why anyone past a bama fan is really that concerned with his opinion is beyond me. Oh wait most aren't and realize he is only complaining and campaigning to make sure his school has their in level playing field they had restored.

Doing what his always done maximize his bank account like some have already pointed out, and cry when it isn't going his way.

He's a democrat .... so there's that.

I liked college football when the players really cared about beating their rivals, now the home team they care about is themselves. I'm slowly ditching college football same as I did the NFL and moving on to the last remaining good option, high school football.
