drewau02 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Personally, I don't think that Saban's comments were racially motivated or racially insensitive.

saniflush 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I would suggest to you that most anyone else seeing the error of what they had said would be a man and accept it instead of tap dancing around. I know there is no need to expect an apology from your coach or your school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a UA coach uses it, he's a racist? What fans say, and what a coach says. Should the coach not be held to a higher standard with issues like that? How many bama fans have used the 'N' word? So because a small percentage of a large fanbase uses the term, it should be ok for a head coach to do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should be held to the same standard. Do you HONESTLY think if anyone here used the N word in a post...it would be allowed? Hell no. Fans say a LOT of stuff that isnt acceptable. But you are grouping in "coonass" with that list of unacceptable things...when its been allowed on this very board...and I didn't see ANY of you high and mighty types calling those people out when they said it. So you have no place to call out Saban now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats the case, then i have no problem with it. It's the people who actually BELIEVE that its ok for that phrase to be used for the last 5 years on this board...but as soon as Saban uses it, he's a racist.

quietfan 233 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I don't think it's a firing offense, unless it's the start of a pattern. To me, it's somewhat like Shula trying to change the name of the Sylvester Croom Award a few springs ago: a media/public relations faux pas, but not the end of the world. It is, however, enough to keep me entertained, and to put the SP back in SPUAT, but that's just my personal pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewau02 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 This is exactly why I said that Saban was a bad hire from the get go. How ironic is it that the coach who UA hires to get the program off the contraversial map keeps them right in it? From the "I plan on being the Dolphins head coach" to "No I have no interest in the Alabama job and I won't be Alabama's head coach" to the coaching staff situation to the new "coona**" situation, Saban has provided Auburn fans with a year's worth of entertainment. The only guy who could top all of this was Pappy Price. UA fans actually think that we're scared of this clown. Please, Auburn fans are entertained if nothing else.

otterinbham 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Well, I have to admit that it adds a little bit more fun to next year's Alabama-LSU game. As if those Coonasses (Excuse me. Acadian-Americans) didn't have incentive enough for him leaving them high and dry in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewau02 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Shoot, maybe those Coonasses will throw urine bottles at Saban and call his wife a whore like they did Tuberville back in '01. I'm not saying that I want that to happen because I don't. I just know how crazy those fans get down there, especially when they're drunk and pissed off.
