Emotions run EXTREMELY high in football. It's having the ability to control them that makes one successful. Like I said before, Saban had already gnawed on that ass and he likely already felt bad enough. So now he is really pissed! The UGA player either had bested him on the kick, or cursed at him to set him off resulting in his reaction and penalty. Now this is where Stevenson may have over stepped his bounds by piling on to the ass chewing Brown had already received. As an old coach, when I was HC I handled ass chewings and I expected the assistant to be there to pick them up. I held that same role as a football coach. If a player had gotten reamed out, I always went to "pick him up" and get that play and beratement past him so he could execute when his number was called the next time. To me, you have to know your role!! We once had an OLB that kept screwing up his drop and the other team kept throwing and completing a pass in his zone. If he had been using proper technique, he would've intercepted every throw! Wel, the HC would yell at his position coach to get his ass out. Position coach would pull him and chew his ass out and then throw him back out there 2-3 plays later. He never corrected, only cussed. After 2-3 series of this happening, I went over to him and made the correction he needed to hear. (I coached QBs and WRs at the time) I told him to do the W drill and flip his hips in his drop. Position coached put him back out there and the very next play, the QB went right back to that same pass and the kid picked it and took it back for 6! The kid was excited and came running to the bench. His position coach ran out to greet him and he ran right by him and jumped into my arms!!! Pissed his position coach off! Point is, Saban is the ass chewer and there has to be some that pick them up. Now Saban is the ultimate pick up as well. I think Stevenson went over board and pushed the wrong button.

One of Saban's best quotes - Play with emotion without being emotional. Fine line... Brown sh*t all over it Monday night.

Was it last year that Ronnie Harrison flew into a rage on the field and then on the sideline and Eddie Jackson, broken leg and all, had to restrain him from fighting other teammates? He cleared his mind and went back out on the next defensive series if I remember correctly. Shit happens in the heat of the battle and huge egos can can be difficult to contain.

Hopefully he learns to control his emotions with that being said he is a beast.

Pretty sure that was before Eddie broke his leg. And I want to say it was Eddie that Ronnie was going after but Reuben Foster pulled him away.

Bird, I really don't remember the details that well but my point was I believe RH went right back in to play after he cooled down. CNS says, among other things, to be relentless and to play with passion. But emotions and egos do flare from time to time.
