Oh boy... Who was worse? Finebaum, Mac, or the guy championing for Mac? I think its odd Mac brought up the 2009 national championship.
To be fair, it was at least topical in regards to about what he was speaking.He mentioned Colt Got Hurt as well. Never misses.
This is basically my thought. Whatever we think he should say he has been very consistent in his messaging and its just not the answer the media wants. Maria Taylor, who I actually like a lot as a sideline reporter, asked the same basic question 3 times in a row and its the same basic question pundits have been asking Saban for months.First, we do want women sports reporters to be treated equally right?
Secondly, if you want to understand Saban's relationship with the media, look no further than what happened in Miami. The media made Saban gave them an answer, they made him, hounded him until he gave them one. It was an answer he was not prepared to give, yet they made him give one and then... then later on they crucified him for the answer they made him give.
He's refusing to answer this one. He refused before the game, she kept at it. That's her right, but you keep irritating people and sometimes they get irritated, that's how it works. I mean look at the answer the got out of him earlier, where they ran with his honest answer about Jalen. I imagine he's refusing to say more for the sake of Jalen, and he has a right to be mad. If he says something they'll use it against him or his players.
Coach Saban better watch out before the media demands a suspension for being sexist to Mariah, the AD is asked to resign, and the school forfeit the opportunity to play postseason for bullying.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTVvKHvSp_o
NOT a new thing, Taylor already irritated him pre-game with the same line of questioning, and to go right back to it postgame was just begging for a response. Quite frankly, I'm sure the media was HOPING for that kind of response, just so they had something to talk about.
Even though you, me, and no one else here will, $10.00 says that someone in the national sports media will try to make the Ms. Taylor/Coach Saban exchange political or racial before it’s all said and done. After all, it’s what they do.Coach Saban better watch out before the media demands a suspension for being sexist to Mariah, the AD is asked to resign, and the school forfeit the opportunity to play postseason for bullying.

Also, please remove this post if the admins think I'm being political. After reading/hearing the media's response to his comment yesterday, I feel my statement may fall into reality rather than sarcasm.
