🏈 Word floating around the 60 Minutes piece on Bama and Saban will air Nov. 3rd.

[It Takes Eleven]

It's a look at Saban...features him yelling and singling out Eddie Jackson...part of the Saban M.O.

He likes to yell at players when the cameras are rolling...a "little man" thing... but, an interview with Vinnie makes it O.K. When Vinnie laughs about it happening to him..."being Saban-ed"...

It works...we're winning games and new recruits...so I don't care who he yells at including me and the fans...just do 't stop winning HA

Great timing for recruiting with a bunch of four and five stars in the late stages of recruiting decisions. Great pub for the program.

You think Coach Saban only yells at players during an open session? Perfectionists come in all sizes.

 

[JoshB]

lol at the thought of Saban only yelling at players in front of the media... yeah thats why players are terrified of that door closing behind them when they walk into his office...

 

[Mahout]

Oh, I know he yells at players all the time. So did Bryant...who also was physical with layers in early years at BAMA ...but, not much in public...he didn't really need to...a look was usually all it took

Saban is a great coach. Probably the most meticulous planner and manager of a program and obsessive perfectionist who ever coached football...

Bryant was the greatest coach of people and leader of men...motivator to do what you weren't capable of doing...to do it anyway.

Best game coaches: Urban Meyer and Steve Spurrier.

I like what we have and hope he stays for a long time....he will probably be the best of all time.

Should be starting any minute. Steelers/Pats just ended.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

segment starting now.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Vinnie: "we just got Sabaned!" .. I miss him!

Saban: "Don't mess up my hat!"

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Awesome segment. The initial berating of Eddie Jackson went full circle with his great game and pick against Ole Miss. The clips from the current era Black Diamonds team at Nick Saban Memorial Field, the tornado footage, Miss Terry. Recruiting rich material other than no mention of how many guys end up in the NFL.

The Cochran story will be on Showtime Wednesday.

RTR,

I think it was well done. Now if only I had Showtime to watch the part 2.

 

[PhillyGirl]

I may or may not have teared up a few times.

 

[Hardkore]

I just happened to tune in when I got up. Surprised CBS didn't advertise it more. I missed the first half of the segment so I'll have to watch it online tomorrow morning.

It was a great piece. I agree with Eleven's comments about the Eddie Jackson story coming full circle, the tornados, and Mrs. Saban. I've even seen a couple of barners on facebook comment that it was a good piece.

 

[JoshB]

It was pretty incredible. Saban is probably the most misunderstood person in college football. I really hope someone rips the Showtime special too.

If he wasn't our's we'd all hate him.

Just be glad he's our coach and not someone else's.

Good piece. I really liked how they played out the Eddie Jackson story as well.

If someone can post a video link to the Showtime piece that would be awesome.

 

[rick4bama]

Remember when he was at LSWhoo and that coach (Name omitted) we had gotten upset with him. We won the game that night and the coach we had given CNS an ear full. We all cheer that coach for that. But, Boy am I'm glad he our coach right now.

I hated him when he was at LSU... but I also respected him.

 

[RollllTide!]

That should help a lot of great recruits and their mamma's take a long look at BAMA. My favorite part is that he looks at every play a prospective recruit has video for.
