At the very least, you should expect it.If you make the decision to bring in a guy like Taylor, you deserve the heat when it backfires.

I'm not going to say Saban doesn't deserve any heat or that he didn't expect it. However, media members are only focusing on him for offering Taylor a scholarship offer. They won't be satisfied with until Saban begs for their personal forgiveness.If you make the decision to bring in a guy like Taylor, you deserve the heat when it backfires.

I won't be satisfied until they ask Dan Mullen, Les Miles and Dana Holgerson why they offered a guy with a felony charge a scholarship. Oh wait, they won't because they don't try to use those three coaches as punching bags or career trampolines.
Media members were focused on Saban even offering him a scholarship. If the media wants to solely discuss the scholarship offer to a guy with a felony, they need to ask Dan Mullen, Les Miles and Dana Holgerson. They won't, though.Taylor didn't sign with them, and none of them is us.
What he said ^^^^Don't agree with it, but this sort of reaction was as predictable as predictable gets.
Unfortunately.
Totally a horrible analogy ... seriously?Unfortunately, we loaded the gun with bullets and handed it to 'em.
Really wish we hadn't taken this risk.
You'd think the ESPN types would all be down in Tallahassee hounding Jimbo over allowing Winston to actually play after all his transgressions.
Thank God, Taylor never played a down.
???"This is the same thing as "we loaded the gun with bullets and handed it to 'em."
So.... no 2nd chances for anyone because it's "predictable" ???Don't agree with it, but this sort of reaction was as predictable as predictable gets.
And we did not justify the behavior ... past or when it happened on our watch. Honestly, I couldn't be prouder of the program. We give second chances when we feel they're warranted and we cut them loose when it's warranted.Substitute Fisher and Winston, Chizik and Newton, the NFL and Ray Rice. Heck, substitute a politician who had done the same thing.
We are not being singled out. We took a risk for good reasons or for nothing more or less than a acquiring a better nose tackle, and it didn't pay off.
Please.ESPN is part of the liberal ABC Family - which is part of liberal Disney......
Domestic Abuse is one of the hot buttons right now.....
Football is a bad word to many in Politics......and this just played into their hands.
3 days, no one will care.....another advantage to modern politics.

Yes there was,but keep up the idol worship.. There was not a single thing that Nick Saban did that was wrong or unethical here.
No, there is absolutely no problem with offering a scholarship to a young man with ongoing domestic abuse charges in Georgia! It's just like random, man, that he couldn't keep his hands off women for 3 full months in Tuscaloosa!Yes there was,but keep up the idol worship.
