TigerOne 1,152 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Auburn should take this personally, you might win every now and then but you will never dominate us, punk. Give us your best shot, because your going to get ours. "The second thing was, work every day to dominate your opponent. You know, we have an opponent in this state that we work every day, 365 days a year, to dominate. That's our goal. That's what you get up every day to do, to dominate the people that you have to compete against and play against. " "What kind of football team do we want to have here? We want to be a big, physical, aggressive football team that is relentless in the competitive spirit we go out and play with week in and week out. What I would like for every football team to do that we play is to sit there and say, 'I hate playing against these guys. I hate playing them. what an ass, we can't wait to play you, and can't wait to beat you. You are going to hate losing to us. People won't hate playing you, they will just hate you, Saban.

DKW 86 7,441 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The last coach that talked that way ran off after Tre Smith ran all over his D in the 2002 Iron Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 You guys are on drugs. Are you SERIOUSLY going to nitpick his speech THAT hard? I dont see any of that as being arrogant...and honestly I dont know any GOOD coach who wouldnt set those as goals for his team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaTigerFan 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The "Dominate" speech works... he don't need no notes neither... comes from the heart... In fact, I believe St. Nick has used that same speech everywhere he has been... lets see... is it 5 or 6 head coaching jobs? Seriously... An LSU friend of mine said ol Nick said purty much the same thing when he came to LSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're supposed to want to play the best teams because your performance against them is often an accurate gauge of how good your team is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all you thought the same thing about Dumbose, Fran, Price and Shula when they came. LSU fans used to love ole Slick Nick too. Any clue what they think today?

GaTigerFan 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Given a choice today... I know for a fact that LSU would rather have Miles. They wouldn't want to deal with the risks involved having Nick back. I believe they are happy with Miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lca408 366 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 To be honest, I think BG is right. We tend to nitpick these things to death. I know its long off-season, and I know we all hate bammer, but I could care less what the guy says. He's just saying the same stuff any coach would say about his team to try and motivate his players. Let him talk all he wants. I won't worry about him or that team. We're the top dogs right now, and we have more important things to worry about such as, "how many sacks is Q Groves gonna get next year?" Let them do their talking in the paper like they have for the last few years. We'll do our talking on the field next November. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't want to deal with the risks involved having Nick back. I believe they are happy with Miles. I am not sure LSU would even have to think twice...they would take Saban in a heartbeat over Miles. I know, I know....I am sure Ellis is going to sware he wouldn't and blah blah blah...I don't believe it one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An LSU friend of mine said ol Nick said purty much the same thing when he came to LSU. Does it really matter if he said that at every school he has coached? Wouldn't you want a coach to have the "work to dominate the opponent" mindset? Especially your big in state rival? Granted I don't think Saban is the best person in the world, but he is a damn good coach and knows how to motivate players! I hope Miles is working hard to dominate every opponent we face and I'm sure all you AU fans feel the same way towards Tubby....and it seems Tubby's hard work to dominate Bama has been working. As far as wanting Saban over Miles at LSU? Not now, not in a minute...I like Miles and you will find that most fans are finally coming to their senses that he is in fact a good coach. Now if Miles happens to leave for whatever reason (fired or Michigan), then I wouldn't be surprised if LSU went after Saban. And as bad as Saban's rep has gotten over the last month, money aside I really do feel that he wanted to be back in college football and that played a bigger role than the money when he went to Bama... I tend to also feel that this may be his last stop unless one of 2 things happens.. 1)Bama runs him off 2) LSU comes calling for some reason.......JMHO!

WarTim 3,457 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 He is what he is...a vacuum cleaner salesman. That's it...nothing more. GREAT fit for that "program" in east moundville.

CircleDrill 178 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Multiple bammer sites have already declared an SEC championship in 07 followed by a MNC in 08. So, please don't bash Saban, as he is the savior. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKW 86 7,441 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Stupidest quote from a College HFC I have ever heard: CNS: "We want to win every game we are in." All I could think of to say was Duh! Excuse me but doesnt EVERY team out there want to win EVERY game? Like I said, stupidest statement I have ever heard. If CTT, or Orgeron had said that PF would have ripped us to shreds over it. Saban is proving to not be the brightest crayon in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulf Coast Tiger 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Southlink, after watching how Saban handled the departure from LSU and now how he left Miami, no I would take Miles over Saban any day. Saban creates a lot of drama every off season and his agent is always shopping him around. Bama fans will find this out soon enough, just like Spartan fans, Tiger fans and Dolphin fans found out. Miles will leave LSU for Michigan one day if offered, but I am happy that Miles is our coach. He is recruiting very well and producing some great players. Miles record is 22-4. I will take that.

I was one of the non-believers about Les Miles. I am still not complete convinced of his greatness in coaching or recruiting. ( How can you not recruit well at LSU with the talent pool?) I have to pull for him to some degree just because of the mud puddle that he stomped into ND's arse and walked dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
