Michican Meltdown
- Thread starter PillsburyDoughboy
- Start date
He's done all he needed to do at the college level:
1. Put the Updykes out of the playoffs.
2. Won the National Championship.
3. Forced Little Nicky Saban into retirement.

He had a great year at Michigan. I think Michigan promotes Sherrone Moore to HC.
He already coached most of last season.

You can't be serious about that one. Saban retired on his own schedule. Anyone with half a brain knows that.

Agreed, Sabin knew at the start of the season this was his last year. He looked 10 years older this year than last.
Hate to see Harbaugh go. I actually like him. Strong Christian values, and actually stands up for them. Not many folks are willing to do that in a cesspool like Ann Arbor.

Never liked him until I heard about his PRO life stance. He's told his players not to abort , that he and his wife would adopt there unwanted baby. He was at a right to life march last week and commie , leftist , espn only would say " march" , never mentioned the event. I'm sure they would've had it been something to fit there narrative. He's ok in my book. He will now go win coaching the Chargers.

I would agree, Sabin saw a good time to get out, while not on top but close to it. Does he know something about the future?

I don't think it.was that... he was just looking old and tired on the sidelines early this year. Noone can go on forever in a high pressure job like that. The job and changes in NCAA didn't break him, just Father Time.
He's a cheater.
It's great to finally hear a bama fan admit that about Saban. Good for you.

When they vacate that natty with vol like sanctions and violations I am going to be on the 50
I definitely respect him for the abortion stance and saying he and his wife would raise their baby. I remember when that came out. However he's a cheater and I've just never cared for him. His brother on the other hand seems like a great guy. I'm sure neither one care what I think.
Saban retired because of NIL. Period. When everyone else started paying players he no longer had an advantage. Had he kept coaching, on a LEVEL playing field, the world would've figured out he was just average without an advantage.

Average enough to make the playoffs
Average enough to beat the #1 team in tge NCAA and win the SEC championship

Could Saban win championships in his sport with 2, 3 and 4 star recruits instead of 4 and 5 star players? Wouldn't THAT be a better measure of a coaches abilities to coach, and wouldn't that be more satisfying than taking the best players and winning with them? Maybe if he knew football well enough and had a great system and knew how to teach his players and got them to play to their utmost ability, maybe he could win with "lesser" players. Maybe not as many wins, but maybe fewer wins with better coached players is just fine. Seems to me, looking back at sports history, that those are the teams I liked to watch play the game, be it football or basketball or baseball.

He did at first. But after sustained success, naturally you draw the best. Part of being a great college coach is recruiting talent. Did you pick the fat kid for your kickball team? No one is benching their best players to "coach" inferior talent

There are coaches all across this land that are doing what you say coaches don't do. They play the players that do as they are coached whether they are the better talent or not. I dare say Saban did the same. Whenever we play pickup games, we do the same. Yes, the best players are usually picked first, but not if they aren't a team player or are just plain hard to play alongside because of their attitude. Then we pick players to fit the team we are putting together, not necessarily the most talented of skilled. Now, I do understand that there are players that are both talented AND are good players and know how to play the game, and it appears to me that Saban was good at finding them. I was really wondering if he could beat teams (on a regular basis) with 4 and 5 star status if his team only had 2, 3 and 4 star players. That would be a sign of a great coach and teacher of the game. Games can be won without the best talent, and those are fun teams to watch because they play the game so good.
Greg McElroy was a 3 star recruit. I'm sure every roster he filled had a few 3's on it. Maybe because he coached them up. Maybe they were under coached in high school. But sabans credo was stay humble and hungry. I'd bet my farm on a 3 star saban team over a 5 star Colorado team
NIL and portal leveled the playing field. No longer could he hoard talent, they could go play elsewhere and did so. Bandwagon Bama will get back to reality soon enough.
You are stupid if you think he retired on his own. He knew he can't hang anymore.
Winner!!

How is making the playoffs not hanging?
They went undefeated in the SEC and beat Georgia in the SECCG.

Y'all act like these kids had no offers to other schools out of high school. They chose to play at bama. What the portal did was give them a free opportunity to transfer when they realized they were the big man on campus anymore. And the nil opened it up for buying the top players. News flash….. it's not helping Tennessee either
Well, I had to look and see the "ignored content". Now I remember why I striped him. He's more confused than a pre surgery pink unicorn at a concert portajon. Do u sit down and pee like a lady? Or use the unrinal since you were born a man???
