Saban lays out UF struggles

Does this sound familiar? @NateBauer

"And sometimes the fanbase can just think ‘Well we can show up and expect to win.’ And not make the commitment to the program that you need to make to be able to continue to make the changes and investments you need to make to keep up with changing times."

So blame the fans and not the head coach?

I like Saban. And he sure as hell knows more than any fan does.

Not the coaches fault? Heresy. The BWICAC wants equal time.

Always like Saint Nick, all the way back to his term at Mich St U.
I'm sure he'd still be coaching if it weren't for the Wild West Show currently happening.

It was his own personal Wild West Show for many years then things got evened up and he bailed. I do like him though. One of the best ever, if not the best.

Saban quit because he didn’t want to keep up with the times. Kinda funny.

He’s 72 with nothing left to prove. I don’t blame him. Begging 18 year olds and bargaining cash with them and their families, then schmoozing donors to give even more to pay the players sounds awful. Then in your free time, you game plan, which seems like an afterthought for a head coach in today's game. Then at the end of the season, you have to beg your own players to stay and figure out a way to get them more money so they don’t leave. Sounds awful.

He liked it when he could give out Dodge Chargers and pay players without getting caught; once everyone could do it he bails. It does suck being a HC now but the playing field is level.
