When it comes to Alabama, I don't do a lot of trash talking. Sure, I'll make the occasional jab. I'll call their quarterback Sara Jessica Parker Wilson, and all of that fun stuff. Nothing too serious. I'm not a trash talking kind of guy. I just want to get this out of the way.
The following isn't trash talking. It's merely me expressing my opinions. I apologize if I offend anyone.
Saban disgusts me, bottom line. It has nothing to do with the fact that he's Alabama's coach either.
Pat Forde said it best,
Why "integrity" is out.
integrity - adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty
This one's easy. "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach." - Nick Saban
As Michael Ventre put it,"the Saban lie is a doozy, a humdinger, that earns him inclusion in the Sports Liars Hall of Fame."
Nick Saban is not a man of integrity. He is an unethical liar.
Why "character" is out.
character - qualities of honesty, courage, or the like
No matter how the local "media" tries to spin it, DJ Hall was supposed to be suspended for the game. After struggling in the first half, Saban decided to play him anyway. When asked about the suspension after the game, Saban's response was, "It was what it was."
Basically, Saban went back on his word (suspension) for the sake of winning at all costs, and then didn't have the courage to answer a simple question about his decision.
Nick Saban is not a man of character. He is a dishonest coward.
Why "teacher" and "leader of men" are out.
From Ian Rapaport's column:
If this is an example of "one of the finest men" on Bama's team, I'm at a loss for words.
From the police report.
What did this "teacher" do to punish Simeon? What about Fanney, Upchurch, and Deadrick?
No suspensions. Saban keeps discipline in house, unless your name is Keith Brown, Prince Hall, Antoine Caldwell, Marlon Davis, Glen Coffee, Chris Rogers, Marquis Johnson, or DJ Hall. Which more than likely means that Fanny, Upchurch, Deadrick, and Castille were not punished at all.
Castille went on to throw bottles at the crowd in Mississippi. I'm sure he wasn't punished for that either.
Nick Saban is not a teacher or a leader of men.
Pat Forde is definitely onto something. Liar doesn't quite fully describe Saban though. He's much, much more.

With Nick Saban en route to a coronation in Tuscaloosa, it's officially time to change the vocabulary used to describe college coaches.Does this apply to all coaches? No, but it certainly applies to Nick Saban.
"Integrity" is out. "Character" is out. "Teacher" is out. "Leader of men" is out.
"Liar" is in.

The players on the University of Alabama sideline began to head for the locker room before the clock struck 00:00. Most exited without a handshake for the opponent, and all exited with their chins hanging in the dirt.Those aren't men. Of course, Saban thinks they are. And among those "men" is Simeon Castille, who Saban says is, "one of the finest young men on our team." This was after Simeon was arrested for disorderly conduct.
If this is an example of "one of the finest men" on Bama's team, I'm at a loss for words.
From the police report.
"The suspect stated that this was going to hurt his draft status and squatted against the wall and appeared to be crying."It appears that one of Bama's finest only cares about himself.
