I have defended Nick Saban, obviously, and I've said before that it is the over-the-top Alabama fans that are the most likely to run Nick Saban off. You know, the death threats to kickers, poisoning trees types. So, why I don't think your behavior falls under that category, I am sensitive to people who for what ever reason seem feel the need to be overtly critical of a perfectly competent head coach. This isn't Mike Shula, Mike Price, or Fran we're talking about here. If you said the same things about Gene Stallings, or Bear Bryant I'd probably take the same exception. I don't think being head coach brings with it god like powers or what not, I actually got in trouble here in regards to my negative tone during the previous coach's tenure. I simply think that some of the stuff said about Saban is just completely unnecessary, if not overtly false.
You have every right to dislike him personally, but what good does it do, on a forum we know some recruits (posts on this forum have been used in recruiting) and their family frequent to make overtly negative statements, especially since it isn't as though his job performance is suffering? It does no good, it's not helpful, even if true (which I don't think is always the case), nothing good can come of it. But, some of the stuff, and not necessarily what you said, but some is just absurd. Like the notion I've seen repeated here that basically says the Sabans wanted to leave for Texas because the statue to Nick wasn't big enough, that the adoration wasn't significant enough, and to believe that is just to operate under a complete delusion.
But, let's not forget some of the things you did say, which to me did kind of cross the line for statements made by and Alabama fan on an Alabama forum. There's just no need for stuff like this:
How is that helpful? How does that sound like anything but a angry fan that's mad at the coach because the team lost? It doesn't make you sound mature, it doesn't make your opinion of Nick Saban sound well reasoned either. If my opinion on that equates to "worship", so be it. Basically though, if people like you, didn't feel the need to say stuff like that, I wouldn't be here refuting anything. You see worship? Well, I see a lot of misplaced resentment and I honestly don't get it. I've seen you do this in thread after thread, a lot of times with some subtly but the tone doesn't change. Do I defend him consistently? Yes, as consistently as you deride him. What's the opposite of worship? Did you consider that perhaps both sides, yours and mine go too far? I expect fans of other teams, and even the media to have very negative things to say about Nick Saban, and I don't go hunting them down and arguing with them. But, Alabama fans on this forum? Really?
Edit: Just to be clear, I do not have any real issue, with general sentiments expressed by posters like crimsonaudio or RTR91. That's not really the type of thing I'm talking about it, it's the type of posts that seem more at home on an LSU or Auburn forum that I find disconcerting.
