| FTBL Post Game Press Conference

As I watched this press conference I could see the same pain in CNS's face as I have felt all night. I believe he cares about this program, and wants to get it fixed. He is the only coach in America who can do it (IMO). Just please, please don't get frustrated and leave before the job is done.
 
Personaly I think he is embarassed by this season. It'll get straightened out real soon. There will be things happening this off season that will be positive for the program and the process. We'll be fine. Being sucessful isn't an overnight step. We gotta go from the ground up. Start with a solid foundation that will weather storms and adversity for years to come. Coach Saban and staff will get it right, I've got faith in him,the present and future players. It's been dark but the light is visible and getting brighter.
I ain't sunshine pumpin'. I just belive in what is happening in front of me. It's just taking longer than I want it too.
Roll Tide Till I die!

I agree with you. Nick Saban has proven that he can win in the SEC and win big. He's not Jesus people, we were never going to a BCS bowl this year. I fear that our fan base and BoT could get ansy pretty quickly. Listen to his post games interviews. He always subtly alludes to the fact that we don't have good athletes on our team. He's always talking about recruiting and getting better players into the program. 6-6 was a disappoint this year, but don't be idiots and run this guy out of town or we will be looking at 6-6 seasons more frequently.

I personally do not think a man like Saban takes a job without knowing what he is getting into. He knows what is ahead. I really think he was disappointed that he challenged players and not all of them reacted with a positive attitude. As far as running him out of town...I really do not hear people that are true fans saying anything like that.

Also think he got a true taste of THE rivalry and the emotions involved. He also has become attached to a lot of the players. RTR.
 
Do you think Saban will do more play calling next year? I hope he does. I saw several plays in the AU game that definitely did not fit his personality.

I know the guy is disappointed. But, like he said earlier on, it's not the wins and losses that get to him. It's how the inmates took over the asylum and undermined what he was trying to do. I know it's hearsay and speculation to make comments like that, but I don't know what else can explain the way we folded up at the end of the year, and the play and actions of a few others. He had no idea the level of disfunctionality that was in this program when he got here.

Someone told me that when he was interviewing coaches on their way out at Bama, he asked one of them "what in the hell they had been doing down here for the past 4 years". I don't know that was the exact words, but I can see it, somehow.

I trust that we have a guy who is going to nearly kill himself to make this program a winner. If in three years, we are still down, and it's decided that he should be done away with, either by him or by some others in the program, then people, it's the end of this quest for superiority.

That's right. I'm saying if this guy can't get it done, then it cannot be done. We may still be Alabama, but if Saban can't do it, I don't think it can be done.

It's hard to fit his personality without his "type" of players in the stall. He likes pounding the ball, but you can't do that without several studs up front. His style has nothing to do with overthrown balls or dropped TD passes.
 
I know we all talk about positives and negatives on these forums, but my concern is what are the people (BOT, boosters, etc)who actually have CNS's ear saying? I think the only we CNS leaves is if he is unhappy, and not willing to put up with the crap. Yes, he knew, or at least had an idea of what he would have to put up with. However, I know we have some pretty unrealistic fans at times.

Hopefully we will see him sticking around many more years. The PROCESS, takes time, and not just months. Years. Hopefully only 2-3, but possibly more. Case in point, I think Mark Richt at UGA is just now seeing the fruits of his labor, and he has been there longer than 3-4 years.
