For the second time this year, an SEC football coach has compared Alabama head coach Nick Saban to the Prince of Darkness. Florida offensive line coach Tim Davis took shots at the Crimson Tide coach on Tuesday at a booster club meeting in Melbourne, Florida, including a comparison between Saban and Davis' current boss Will Muschamp, according to a report from GatorBait.net. The three worked together when Saban was the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

"I've always wanted to work with Will," Davis said. "Will's got a plan. Will coached under the devil himself for seven years. I only did three. He did seven. And his DNA is not any different than Nick."

Davis also suggested that he preferred Muschamp's more personable coaching style to Saban's. "[Muschamp]'s like the other guy, only he's got a personality," Davis said. "He'll smile at you. He'll talk to you. You understand? That's what he's all about. That's Will. I'm proud to work for him."

Earlier this year, Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin apologized personally to Saban after referring to him as "Nicky Satan" at a speaking engagement.

It's going to happen again...A reporter is going to tell him what happened and ask him what he thinks about and then we will hear Saban explode on a reporter, then BOOM, front headlines on ESPN "Saban loses it again, cannot control his temper" :crazy:

Why do these piss ants insist on making asses out of themselves? It's like the guy that stumbles into a cave with a hibernating bear. Instead of leaving well enough alone, he pokes the damn thing with a stick. The bear awakens and mauls his ass. Reporters nationwide report that bear mauls innocent hiker. Keep on people, Saban has a memory and he will remember!

Call me a non-homer, but I don't have a problem with what he said. What he said was more a compliment and comparison than anything else.

Timmy boy, Timmy boy, ... You gotta ask yourself...have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?

Kinda, he's talking up to the fans. He said devil himself for a reason... I can't help but wonder at times, who are the coaches trying to convince, the audience or themselves.

Alabama is in their heads, and more importantly they aren't talking about Auburn or Tennessee

And I'll bet'ya money that if Tim Davis needed a job and one at Alabama opened up, he'd take it in a heart beat.

Agreed. I'm just saying you can't call somebody the devil in a derogatory manner, and then say that someone else has the exact same DNA and mean it in a positive manner.

It's a figure of speech that I've heard used before. Of course, my roots are hillbilly. I've heard all kind of nonsense.

Given 24 hours to mull this over I'm still left with the opinion I had yesterday when I first saw news of his comments.

I have to go back a few years. I'm fairly certain it was the summer of 2009 following the 2008 win over LSU. Les Miles, at a function just like the one Davis was speaking at, made a comment along the lines of "we have a f*¢king rival in Alabama." There were fans who thought the comment crossed the line with some citing things like there were likely children in the audience, etc. The bottom line is comments coaches make to booster clubs in today's society aren't outside of the public spectrum any longer.

Saban himself isn't immune. Just a year and a half, maybe two years before Miles comment, Saban was caught on tape talking about how a LSU fan reacted to his decision to take the Alabama position. His use of the term "coonass" was taken as a racial slur by some outside the state of Louisiana.

In both cases the coaches said something that in itself is such of a big deal, but given time to be repeated and aired it creates it's own storm.

Some have called Brown's comments classless. Meh. He was just speaking to the boosters and decided he'd take a foray into stand up comedy. Calling his decision to say this ignorant? That's probably not the right word to use but I believe we can all agree it lacked judgement.

With Miles, Saban, more recently Franklin, and now Brown...all of this gives us one thing for certain. Coaches have to have more discretion on what they are saying. Just because it's at a private function, per se, what's said is far, far from private.

Especially these days, when "Big Brother" (via Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc) is always keeping track of every word they say! Imagine if we'd had this constant monitoring of what folks say or do back in the day. Wonder how many cool off the record videos of the Bear we'd have ..
