CNS will be fine, some of the players may be getting relocated.

I think he has very thick skin.

Big A Re: Will Nick Saban be able to "weather" the expectation "storm" at Bama?

During the post-game interview yesterday, Nick Saban seemed the most vulnerable I've seen him all year. For the most part CNS has seemed to acknowledge the Alabama "tradition" but not let it cloud his objective, then yesterday he was very apologetic toward the Alabama nation even expressing the fact that this was not a way to represent the Alabama tradition. I think in defeat, Saban became a little more one of "ours". Alright now, evnough of my mooshiness.

I can't imagine some of our fans expecting to beat Miss St. and La- Monroe.

Count me among those who have man crushes on Saban if you like, but rather than becoming disillusioned with his "process", as some apparently are, the last couple of weeks just proves to me how long overdue it was. So much that I tried to minimize/rationalize over the last few years are now being thrown into sharp relief for me. I can only hope that CNS gives us his strongest medicine with no holds barred.
Beating Auburn will soothe your pain.

FYI, one thing I really like about Saban over the last 5 coaches we've had is that when we lose, I think he really does bother him as much as it does me... and that's saying quite a bit.

Saban knew what he was getting into when he came to Bama. He's been in the coaching business a long time, and he has witnessed how the Bama Nation has been as far as expectations since Coach Bryant retired. He has noticed that other coachs caught hell when they got here, so i think he'll weather the storm just fine. It's not like he didn't know this was coming.
I agree with everything you said, He knew what he was getting into when he took the job.
But i think he was blindsided by the physical and mental aspect of the team he inherited. Now its no secret we are years behind in the weightroom and the mental makeup is now rearing its head where most of us were too blind to see it.

Man, he is really getting bashed on other sites, I've read posts ranging from will he be here next year to what are we paying him for. I don't always agree with the policies of this site, but I do enjoy the civility! ROLL TIDE
Who cares what the morons think.

Most of what you see on other boards are started by trolls just to stir the pot. The mods here don't allow the sneaky little critters over here.
