Gary Danielson and the "Arrogance" comment

CajunCrimson · Nov 4, 2018

I looked for the exact quote.....but couldn't find it.....

I haven't seen much talk about how Bama players are playing with an earned "arrogance" that he's only seen a couple of times before:

Florida State in their Heyday
USCw during the Bush years....

I haven't seen that..... I wonder if he's referring to our confidence to run any play at any time.....

Thoughts?

I can't remember it exactly, but he also threw Miami in there during their heyday. I didn't appreciate being associated with Thug U. I don't see BAMA playing with arrogance, they are just confident in what they can do.

He didn’t say arrogance. I think he said Bama had a swagger about them. Definitely wasn’t arrogance.

I didn't mind the comment, to be honest. I don't think Gary meant that Alabama has a sense of entitlement. When Bama steps onto the field, they know that they are supposed to win and there is a 99.999999999% chance that they will. They don't have the attitude of the 1980's Miami Hurricanes or the Hollywood flash of Pete Carroll's Trojans. They have the quiet intimidation factor which, I must admit, is a lot nicer than the constant in-your-face bragging of past teams. That is just my two cents. What I do know is that I am enjoying the heck out of this current Alabama run and I appreciate all of the hard work of Coach Saban and our players!!

Oh, I'm quite sure he used the word Arrogance. It was toward the end of the game....I'll see if I can find it.

gumptider · Nov 4, 2018

Yeah, he definitely said the word arrogance several times. I didn’t take it as a negative. I thought he meant that we knew we could do whatever we wanted and played that way. It was interchangeable with swagger for him.

He did indeed use the term "playing with arrogance" I took it as a complementary comment. I took it as meaning playing like we know that we can dominate you!

I did not mind the arrogance comment, but did not care for the comparisons.

It is getting so (to me anyway) that listening to gary is almost as annoying as Breath Moowins.........he tends to beat a horse to death then beat it some more. again just my 2 cents.

He definitely used the word arrogance. I had to explain to my two teenage daughters what I THINK he was trying to mean by using that word.

I believe he did say exactly that Bro. I am going to watch it again to be sure he was talking about Bama players, but he did use that word. I will do that tomorrow. The wife is football fed-up for today.

krs4bama · Nov 4, 2018

He meant it as a compliment…..I am probably in the minority here, I enjoy his commentary.

He really used the wrong word. He used an even worse comparison. Miami of the 80's and Florida State of the 90's did not just play with arrogance they were in your face about it and loud about it. I have not seen any Alabama player show this "arrogance" in any interview at all during this entire run.

Tell her that is no such thing.

Yes, he said arrogance and I did not understand it. I see nothing arrogant about winning, so I have no idea what the meant.

Exactly. Totally agree. That's what I told my kids. They were in total defense mode that our guys aren't arrogant. His use of words and analogy were just really bad.

Bazza · Nov 4, 2018

I wouldn't mind being called arrogant if we played liked Bama.

That was meant as a compliment - as in they feel they deserve to win because they are so dang good.

I agree Gary does beat the horse to death but he does bring a tremendous knowledge of football and has a tremendous memory of the games he has covered. I will take him any day over most of the ESPN crews except Herbstreit who is also very knowledgeable.

It works best for me to allow her to win SOME of these issues. Eh ! But you are right in your suggestion. She knows when Bama has a big game..she will need to find something to do. She is a semi-Vol fan.

I absolutely believe he meant it as a compliment. The comparisons were awful. Gary is an idiot.
