Nick Saban (ex-HC Alabama Crimson Tide)

You don't think maybe there's some middle ground that avoids blasting her to the ground?
The only reason she was "blasted to the ground" and the cop wasn't was because he happened to be larger. As Dryden said, she was also running at him while not paying any attention to where she was going. . Had she been larger then he would have been the one who was run over. It's his fault because he happens to be bigger (and doing his job, which was escorting Saban off the field as quickly as possible)?

You and I see things differently. That guy saw somebody he could decleat and did it. She was just running around aimlessly. It's his fault because he could have pRoTeCtEd Saban without sending her ass over tea kettle, but chose to.

How much gas does Alabama head coach Nick Saban have left in the tank? The seven-time national champion turns 70 on Sunday, but Saban does not appear to have any plans of closing the door on his legendary career any time soon.

Speaking on the SEC coaches teleconference Wednesday, Saban responded when a reporter reminded him of a remark Saban previously made in 2001 when the late Lou Saban, then 80, accepted the head coaching job at Chowan University. At the time, Nick said he could not envision himself still coaching at that age, but Saban pointed out Wednesday that even with that measuring stick, time is still on his side.

"I've got 10 more years, man," Saban said with a chuckle, according to BamaOnline's Charlie Potter.

Alabama coach Nick Saban warns NIL model in college football is unsustainable, will lead to buying players

Saban's words echo recent complaints from other coaches about NIL laws


Nick Saban has issued a stern warning over the way that Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) legislation has been implemented in college football. In a recent interview with the Associated Press, the legendary Alabama coach said "I don't think what we're doing right now [with NIL] is a sustainable model."

"The concept of name, image and likeness was for players to be able to use their name, image and likeness to create opportunities for themselves. That's what it was," said Saban. "But that creates a situation where you can basically buy players. You can do it in recruiting. I mean, if that's what we want college football to be, I don't know. And you can also get players to get in the transfer portal to see if they can get more someplace else than they can get at your place."

Saban's comments come months after Alabama reeled in the nation's No. 2 recruiting class and signed three of the top nine highest-rated transfers in the nation, according to 247Sports. Last year, Saban revealed during the Texas High School Coaches Association that Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young had already approached 7-figures in NIL deals. However, Saban noted that he isn't interested in any direct payment from his school to players that would not be equal across the board.

Other coaches have made similar comments about NIL issues recently. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin complained that his school can't match the "funding resources" of other universities that are funneling money to recruits. Many state laws have specific clauses preventing NIL as a recruiting inducement; however, states have not publicly intervened with their schools to prevent the practice.
