[Lauren Sisler |]

Their personalities often represent opposite ends of the spectrum. Charles Barkley and Nick Saban. Do you have to say much more than that?

Good stuff

 

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

Quality.

Enjoyed that.

 

[OldPlayer]

More to come. This is chapter 1.

 

[Bamabww]

Very good.

 

[Che Boludo]

I enjoyed that. I've been very fortunate to have been surrounded by truly great, inspirational leaders in my career; some of whom history will remember as our generation's Marshalls, Eisenhowers, or Pattons.

CNS is of the same mold in his demeanor, focus, and innate leadership qualities. He's the boss all would love to work for and learn from no matter the industry.

 

[EasyTider]

Good stuff, hard to dislike Charles just because AuBarn.

Agreed. He and Bo are definitely the ones that got away in their respective sports.

I don't like anything about Auburn. I would be happy enough if they didn't exist, but Charles B. did a fine job in interviewing Nick Saban: former greatness speaks to current greatness.

Charles is a pretty witty dude and I like his humor. This is am excellent interview and I look forward to the next chapter. Glad CNS let CAJ know who runs the point in Tuscaloosa.

I really enjoyed this piece. I'm glad to see CNS being shown in a more relaxed state than what the media likes to portray him. Even though Charles is a Barner, I like how he is honest, tells how he feels, and has a good sense of humor as well.

I got a kick out of Barkley when he walked into Coleman and asked if they had painted the dump. He is hilarious. The interview was very good and I loved the question he asked coach about if he could change something or regretted something and CNS said he wished he had made more time to attend his kids activities.

I will say from experience as a former HS coach, you miss on their firsts! I missed my sons first games playing Tball, I know it was only Tball but I wasn't there. I missed my daughters' first dance recital. I know it was a recital but it was her first!! My coaching was taking over and almost cost me my marriage. My wife was basically raising our kids by herself because I was at the school or on a court or field. It is tough to say the least!!

I understand! I started coaching in 1984 and continued until 1996. I had to get out bc of the time involved AND missing my kids activities. My life was basically the Motel 6 commercial, we'll leave the light on for you. People do realize the amount of time it takes to coach a sport or two. I am happy I coached but even more so that I got to spend time with our two boys, now men.

Charles says a lot of stupid stuff, a lot of which I don't agree with, but he is still a funny, likable character.

In this day and age of political correctness and every oversensitive zealot afraid of having his feelings hurt...........Charles Barkley has an opinion and the balls to own it. That is what I love about him. Right, wrong, or indifferent he has an opinion on pretty much anything you ask him and when he is called on it, he will back up why he has said opinion. That is very rare for someone with his type of platform and I respect it greatly.

You try to say things like the Chuckster and they come and get you for observation. He gets away with it because that's who he is. Much like Trump, the unfiltered ones, march to their own beat.
