Nick Saban (ex-HC Alabama Crimson Tide)

It does seem a bit odd that you get a month to prepare for the semis and then a week for the championship. Seems like they could split it and do 2 weeks prep for each

Meh. The pros go through the playoffs week by week. Only a bye gets a week off. I think it is just something for Saban to use as a way to deflect the questions that he otherwise might get.

I’m sure Saban’s staff of 29 support coaches can handle.

300 miles to New Orleans. 200 miles to Atlanta. This fucker and his stormtroopers could reasonably leave home morning of to get to each of their playoff games and he's bitching about not having enough prep time.

The CFP is great. Such a well thought out endeavor.

I think he's coming up with excuses before the game. "We lost because we had to travel home from the bowl game the day after you did."

And, let's not kid ourselves, UGA is like.. what... 30 feet from Pasadena, California? Clear advantage to the Dawgs.

The insufferable prick should just be happy he got into the playoffs. Be gracious for once Nick because as I've pointed out this will be 2 Natty's you've won at the expense of a more deserving buckeye squad.

This is the guy who pretty much invented the neutral site home. Interesting to see him move away from that mindset.

Yes, but it might not take place for 5-10 years and I doubt he may be the coach then. I think he is in his mid 60's?

Further cementing his legacy... LOL.

Ohio State currently has Notre Dame & Texas on the schedule for 2022 & 2023.

Wonder if this is in response to current high school juniors & seniors that are hearing this in their pitches to go to Ohio State?

I think its because Alabama earned some much deserved roasting for their weak schedule last year. It's tough to criticize them because they took home the trophy but Saban probably doesn't want to deal with this negative pub moving forward.

We need to pick up another big one for the 2022-2023 stretch. ND next year, Virginia the year after that, UCLA in 2023-2024 but nothing in between.

It's a shame our home and home didn't come to fruition.
