Well actually, this is news worth discussing as he’s a recent coach that made a stupid statement about the current head coach. Thus, it’s in the news.

The Good Book says you can't serve two masters. Common sense points to the same truth. The next time someone accepts another job... send them on their way.
Re: Gattis comment on telling Saban he was leavi
Yup, he was a complete professional.
So far this doesn't pass the smell test to me.
Story doesn't add up.
If I'm quitting, I wouldn't set thru an Alpha Charlie, then listen to the coach begging me to stay...
I guess I'm a little too fractious for that...
Part of the story makes sense. Coach would not be happy.
Sounds like the timeline is a little skewed.
I was taught to evaluate what is said. How it's said, and What is not said.

Ya got to be a big boy with thick skin if your gonna coach.
From time to time everybody gets an Alfa Charlie...
Especially in big time football.
Given Harbaugh’s public shots @ Saban, I wonder if this interview was planned by him. Just another in a long line of petty attempts to make Saban look bad. But then again I could be wrong and looking @ it through Crimson colored glasses.He was leaving to be a play calling OC. Clear that Saban was not going to give him that job, so he was jumping ship - after one year.
And he didn't think that he deserved to get yelled at for that? :conf3:
Harbaugh made him feel special and Saban hurt his feelings.
Good for Saban.

Regardless of intent behind comment he still left Saban in a lurch—I wouldn’t call that an act of respect
Bottom line is coach Gattis should have done what he said he'd do.
If it was a 2 year commitment, he should stay two years. Written or Not.

Urban Meyer's departure, Josh Gattis' questionable ethics, and this latest weak publicity stunt by the most overrated coach in the history of football make rooting for the Buckeyes a whole lot easier, since it's safe to say we won't see Meeshigan on the same field with Bama anytime in the near future. Wonder if ol' Harbaugh has extracted the Gator teeth from the seat of his khakis yet....
I don’t believe Saban begged him to stay either....... I think he reminded him of his 2 year commitment, and when Gattis balked he probably lit him up like a candle
I too hope tOSU tramples on Captain Sleepover and mudchicken

So he left CNS behind his back and shafted Locks too. Betting CNS is not to thrilled about either if that’s how it played out. Surprised Locks would do that without asking Coach first. Kirby I can see doing that not Locks.

I'm trying to put myself in these coaches' position...knowing you've had it working at a particular school, the job is too demanding...but one last enormous game left to play.
Before the final game, do you pretend to the players you've coached all season that everything's great, see you next season? I'm guessing quite a few players are sharp enough to know when a coach means what he says verses when he is sleep-walking through the motions.
Would the coach with plans to leave put his best effort into that final game? Who knows, but when the dishonest coach winds up taking shots at his former coach that clears things up, in my opinion.

Riiiiiiiiiight.
"Taken out of context" is modern slang for "oh crap, I didn't know this was going to blow up in my face like that".
Bailed after one year and is telling everyone our board in recruiting, imagine if he didn't have respect for the program
