The things that made Mr. Sanders even win the few games that he won, NIL and transfer portal, are the things that are ruining college football.....so we should all take a long look at ourselves to see if that's what we want. Fucking hypocrite douchebag.

Maybe it's because I agree with him...
but I've read and watched numerous things Saban says about the current world of college sports.. specifically NIL and the portal
That we are witnessing the beginning of the end of college sports
Only a few will be able to win at the game... meanwhile college fans will eventually give up on it...

Player development will become a distant objective...
His wife was a major factor in him hanging up his spurs...
They used to have breakfast sessions at their house with players and families... where the topic used to be with parents and the personal and athletic development of their sons... rapidly turned into 'you're not paying my son enuf'

It'll creep into professional sports because player development will suffer... and the quality of pro sports will diminish
It all makes sense

Its hilarious to agree with Saban's ridiculous statements, when Alford leaves his team at the beginning of spring practice and screws his former program. I'm sure Saban had no problem making millions from his own name, image and likeness in national commercials and his various dealerships. On top of constantly being the highest paid HC in CFB. The irony of making tens of millions of dollars off of free labor, but complaining when the same players who caused him to make those millions ask for a fraction now he's against it. He and his wife can kiss my ass.

Player development will not suffer, players who want to be great, will work to be great. Matter of fact they'll be more incentivized to be great due to the financial aspect.
Only a few have been winning for decades. CFB has never had parity. You'll never see Purdue or Texas Tech win NCs, but now their players can earn a paycheck for their work, like every other student can. And NIL will actually keep some kids in school a little longer, if their NIL deals are better than their NFL deals, that strengthens CFB.
Saban is an absolute hypocrite, because he had no problem poaching coaches for more money from other schools. He had no problem stacking class after class with top talent, but now with NIL and the Portal those same players that would just go to Bama, now some of them go elsewhere, and now he's butthurt. His old ass needs to go somewhere and stop talking because he can no longer utilize bag men.

Somebody's Heine' is crowdin' my icebox...
Per college football news Nick Saban of LSU might be headed to Cleveland. No links yet, but on there front page in breaking news it talks about it. I dont know if I like this choice, due to the lack of success college coaches have had at the professional level. I guess we will have to wait and see...

Had great success as a DC in Cleveland. I like the fact that we are going back to our team history to find a guy. I like someone who connects with the tradition of Browns football and understands the way our fans want our team to play. Screw Miami North...I want a dominating D, punishing runners and a leader at quarterback.

I was under the impression we were looking for a GM first. Jim Brown is talking to Ozzie now. PLEASE bring some of the old guys back! I want the new Browns to start feeling like the old ones.

Good point about him being a DC for four years with the Browns. But, LSU is coming off a sub par season. I know they lost alot but at times LSU didnt look very good this year. I know you cant totally blame that on the coach, but some has to be put on his shoulders. If Saban does get hired, alot of changes are going to be needed to be made very quickly. Cleveland fans are getting tired of this bullshit.

Did I miss this the Browns getting their General manager position all straightened out?


I thought that was their first order of business, then the search for a coach.

Everything I have read says hiring a GM is the first choice. He will then help select the coach. I personally am not sold on another college coach for the Browns. So many have failed and only a few have had any kind of success. I would rather yank a coordinator who is currently in the NFL. However, the GM choice is going to be the more important choice. Also, everything I read before was that Saban wanted personnel control, which is not going to happen in Cleveland now with any coach.
