ValleyTiger 2,894 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yeah, one demands perfection and never misses an opportunity to send a message to his team. The other is just trying to hang on. 1 minute ago, bigbird said: Cliff notes or a link much help illustrate your point He basically said they had a bad week of practice and their lackadaisical play in the 1st half was the product. Alluded to an ass chewing at the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Brown 2,391 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Saban demands a relentless pursuit of perfection even when winning ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThereGoesDavis 179 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Let's add to it the fact that they have a 21 point lead to start the second half and they're running a hurry up offense with passes down field. Compare that with Gus' slow, kill clock run up the middle conservative approach when up big. This is the difference between playing to win and playing not to lose.

GwillMac6 20,607 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Gus is perfect for millennial youth soccer and the culture that exists there. He is all about moral victories and everyone getting a trophy and NEVER running up the score on anyone. Good job! good effort! That is gus. " We are up 9. I like where we are." WELL WE DO NOT like where we are as a program Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND saban use to be mr conservative who would run run run and just want to wear you down. Saban offense now operates how Malzahns USED to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looney 794 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Really hoping TN comes back on them now reading these comments. Ha. Sorry - not trying to be a jerk, but it makes me laugh to think about the possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weagle06 75 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 He also went up and out his backup qb in and actually let him run the offense not just hand off every play. Couple years that'll pay off while auburn will still be breaking in a new qb every year with basically zero game experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtftiger 40 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yes. I was concerned after the end of the Ole Miss game when he was kind of joking about the mistakes of the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUIH1 1,515 Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Gus is a wuss, mediocre coach who was happy with a 9 point lead after squandering a 20 point lead. Saban is a great football coach who demands perfection. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger88 934 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Saban is a better coach than Gus because he's a relentless hard-ass and gus is a dipwad? There's a news flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerbelle 5,299 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 You saban worshippers have no idea.....just none at all. He is one of the main reasons that college football has been ruined.

College football is definitely getting harder to enjoy. Not sure which contributors I dislike the most but Saban has been a huge part. The media of course and then social media has hurt. It's said that the golden age of sports is your childhood. I guess it's really the innocence of youth that makes it golden. Want a real shock, in about 15-20 years things will be so different that some 10 year old kid right now will think these were the good old days.

OnthePlains 2,014 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 So, Saban is ruining college football because he is very good at his job? And because he has figured out how to win more than anyone else? The New York Yankees won 20 world titles over a 39 year span, did they ruin baseball?? The Boston Celtics won 10 titles in an 11 year period, did they ruin basketball???? Why is he ruining football because he wins a lot and does his job well. Did Bill Gates ruin software? And before we hear the "Saban is mean, or Saban is just not a good person" stuff we usually hear let me address that. (A) I don't particularly like his attitude in media sessions but you can't judge a guy off of that. The media drives everyone crazy and our boy Gus ain't exactly a peach in his. (B) He does a lot of charity work for kids (C) Talk to some of Coach Dye's old players and see how nice of a guy he was out there in practices and especially the famous spring camp where he ran off like half the team when he first got there but was crucial in building a successful program. (D) Apparently, he has a pretty good bed side manner to go into all these top recruits homes and convince them to go to school in "beautiful" Tuscaloosa, AL. I don't like the guy but to say he is "ruining" college football is just folly and short-sided. His run will end soon and college football will live on. It won't be Saban that kills college football, it will be head injuries and the never ending debate about paying players what they are worth.

Like I said....you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. It goes so far beyond being a jerk....and the whole bammer football program is much darker than people understand. Why in the hell would you drag Gus into this discussion?. He has absolutely nothing to do with it. The whole "charity work stuff makes him a nice guy" literally makes me ill.....

AU64 10,122 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hard to believe that AU fans would listen to a Saban interview...I can barely watch a bammer game and can't wait to turn the sound off when play stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
