And at the start of his reign, I'm sure he did cheat and bend the rules as much as he could, but he doesn't have to do that anymore. The results speak for itself. Any high school kid who plays football knows if they go to Bama and excel, they will play for championships and they will be drafted highly. I absolutely hate them, but facts are facts. I've said many times (mostly in the rivals area) that I don't buy bammer or sabans success as anything remotely close to legit. Everybody has some ups and downs during decade long spans. I find it dubious, at best, that he has been just straight A's with no help. Like I said, Clemson I buy. Urban (much as I dislike him and think he's a front-runner/quitter) I buy. Even Pete Carroll didn't have the recruiting/championships/and games where his team had ZERO penalties that Saban has had (& the NCAA actually had the cajones to investigate him). Again, as far as football, I worry about Auburn and Auburn is who I care about. In real life I worry about my family & my health & our future. I don't give bammer much thought. But when their dubious (in my eyes) success gets brought up on this board I also don't mind sharing my opinion that's it's as tarnished as 100 year old neglected silver. And I also don't mind making a little fun at myself by wearing a tin-foil hat when I say it. For those who think it's legit and he's just that lucky/good and is a true football god, then that's fine. I don't hold any ill will towards you. I just don't step in line with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oracle79 3,569 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 What has Kendall been doing since he retired from pro ball in 2009?

McLoofus 35,182 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Another either/or fallacy. bama cheats and saban is a great coach. Whoa. That was super easy to say. Highly recommend. Welcome back and War Eagle, Kendall Simmons. This is the right way to bring family back into the fold. I hope it's a fruitful partnership for all involved.

I hope it's a fruitful partnership for all involved. I have no problem with this sentence. Thanks Loof! It makes sense that those two factors, together, equal the unprecedented (in 150 years) run of success the most unlovable program in sports history has had. And yes, the prospect of Kendall Simmons possibly working towards shoring up the OL (recruiting too 😉) is fantastic!!! War Eagle!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows he dealt with adversity throughout most of his NFL career. I think that makes him very relatable when dealing with recruits. If and when he becomes an on the field coach, he can walk into a home wearing his Super Bowl ring and show a recruit he knows what it takes to reach the next level.

Let's use a different example, let's say you have a son, about 22 years old, and you accept his reputation that he's a still-functioning delinquent. He just can't stay too far away from getting into trouble, it's in his genetics. He's not an awful human being or anything, he just likes conflict and inadvertently stays in his own way. You wouldn't find another kid to support just because this one DESERVINGLY earns such a low (almost factual) opinion on how he handles things from non-biased viewers right???
