Why havent the players carried Coach Saban on their shoulders after winning a title?
- Thread starter Roll Tide 00
- Start date
The players know he dislikes it but he is powerless to stop it because of tradition. Its nearly comical, like revenge, for a one day he really worked their tails off. I would like to see a compilation of all of them. #bamafanproblems
Honestly the most happy i think i've ever seen him after a game was the 2010 Cap One Bowl vs Michigan State.
I think Coach Saban hates the ice bath, but allows the players to do it because he knows how much it means to them (and perhaps the fans)
As for the carry off...I think he prohibits it...Maybe feels like that's a little too much "bravo" or "in your face". I do believe the players know it is off limits, or otherwise would do it.
OTOH maybe after the 2009 cooler to the face, he doesn't trust nobody to pick him up off the ground and run him across the field.

And at Alabama, the only time I've seen the gatorade bath happen, is after a national championship victory!
Was about to say when can scratch that one off the list lol
Saban is faster than Bryant was.
They’ve been warned not to
He’s heavier than he looks
Would you want to be the guy who dropped the greatest coach of all time?
Slippery with all that Gatorade, probably sticky too
Take your pick
Fellows...giving it up for the night. Congrats to us all as fans. Also to you'uns who read but never post. Roll Tide! Gonna enjoy #18 all year!
You're assuming that today's players have some understanding of what carrying your coach on your shoulders evokes in a much, much older generation of folks.
I was only 11 years old when Stallings won the National Championship in 1992. I really only understand what it means from my daddy and from black-and-white photos and videos.

I personally feel it is like spiking a ball after a TD(something we no longer do either) as bear said and Saban agrees, act like you been there before. Same reason we do not tear down goal posts or rush the field by fans, WE EXPECT to win big games and titles. When was last time bama upset a team? To upset a team you must be a large under dog, those days ended the day we hired Saban. Last loss to a under dog 2007 la Monroe.... 14 years ago Nicks first season. Unlike any other program we do things Saban and Bama way not like any other team. I like we do not put on stupid shows after win, shake the other guys hand say good game and see ya next year. Trust me most hate that last part.
