Don't Stutter!". <BR/><BR/>Wow, don't stutter? He is either 5 years old or he think he's a Marine drill officer. <BR/><BR/>It also would have helped if he followed up his comments with a statement letting everyone know he realized they are not equal comparables, he's just making an example. I can usually forgive a coach who comes out and says something stupid when he's caught off guard, but Saban came out with a prepared statement, ready to go. Regardless of whether you think its ok, anyone should know that comment is going to create negative controversy so why say it? <BR/><BR/>I think your job as an attorney is a little different, you are being paid to argue and draw connections. Saban is a football coach, his job is to win games. <BR/><BR/>Not to make outlandish (and I'll admit awesomely funny) statements like "Take Pearl Harbor, that happened, and it led us to, uh, World War II, or whatever".<BR/><BR/>Honest question, would you be ok if he said <BR/><BR/>"It was a catastrophe, a lot like the Holocaust was a catstrophe, we will just have to bounce back like the Jewish people have"<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't.KennyBanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935449516982758472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-34051958880057059552007-11-22T14:44:00.000-05:002007-11-22T14:44:00.000-05:00Are you really that jaded?

Saban has done a poor job. He won the SEC in year two at LSU; that's going to be a major measuring stick last year.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365733949431139562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-40379033698983767522007-11-21T10:26:00.000-05:002007-11-21T10:26:00.000-05:00The criticism of the coaching job he has done this...The criticism of the coaching job he has done this year is certainly warranted. This is the exact team Shula had last year (the only difference is they have one more year of experience and strength training), and Shula beat La. Monroe something like 41-7. <BR/><BR/>As far as the 9/11 comments go, you are probably right, however you have to admit the last couple of days have been fun, since Saban is such an absolute dick face. I think another reason the media is running with this is not only because it is the University of Alabama, but because it happened in the state of Alabama period. The national media never misses a chance to dump on the south east united states, and Alabama and Mississippi in particular. If a coach in California or Maryland said this, it would not garner near as much attention.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082266765073329362noreply@blogger.com
