The Big 12 had its worse draft ever. Even Mike Reinfeldt and Jeff Fisher think so. It took 36 selections before the second Big 12 player was drafted. This is from a conference with four of Top 10 in the final AP rankings. Pathetic.
Powerhouse programs like Troy, Vanderbilt, Delaware, and Tennessee […]

While Les Miles blames Mack Brown for the new recruiting restrictions, Nick Saban has figured a way around them.
The NCAA adopted a SEC-proposed rule that took head coaches off the road for the April/May evaluation period. This off-season, for the first time, head coaches will be staying on campus and away from the potential […]

In Nick-speak, that means fuck you for asking, Mr. Reporter.
The question asked was why did DJ Hall play in the second half after Saban released before the game that he was out for the entire game after violating unspecified team rules. It might have been because you were in a dogfight at halftime at […]

It’s been an emotional week for Alabama coach Nick Saban. He has to play his former team on Saturday. The team with which he won a national championship. The team he left for the NFL. And the team that now hates his guts for returning to coach another team in the same conference.
So he sort […]

Major Applewhite is the greatest offensive coordinator ever, and people are starting to notice.
Applewhite was instrumental in Alabama’s blowout win over Tennessee last Saturday. And by ‘instrumental’ I mean the sole reason. Stupid jerk Nick Saban didn’t do anything. Quarterback John Parker Wilson (or is it John Wilson Parker? Parker John Wilson?) tied a […]

As the college season makes the turn for the home stretch, it is clearly time to start talking about who gets whacked — particularly given this weekend’s Battle of the Buyouts in Lincoln. This year’s coaching carousel seems destined to be as bloody as the last 6 episodes of the Sopranos.
Yeah, I’ll fucking […]

Good article in The Birmingham News today about Alabama coach Nick Saban and how he self scouts. The writer also has a bit more information on his blog.
Saban says he does it for two reasons:
1. To figure out what is and isn’t working
2. To figure out his own tendencies
Now before all you Texas […]

I don’t know who Alabama coach Nick Saban thinks he is, but you do not criticize Major Applewhite. That kid has never done wrong.
After Alabama’s closer than expected win over Houston, Saban said he wished that the Tide had passed more and run less.
“You can’t just run the ball,” Saban said. “In this day […]

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was fined last week for spying on another team. Alabama coach Nick Saban was an assistant under Belichick with the Cleveland Browns. You can see where I’m going with this.
Alabama plays Georgia this week, and Georgia coach Marc Richt has closed his team’s practices. Why? Because the only way […]
