Saban is complaining about the quick turnaround from the semifinal game to the championship game. This is ludicrous coming from the team that didn’t even have to play in a conference championship game like the other CFP teams.
Alabama has been hit severely by the injury bug at linebacker this season. Starting middle linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton was lost for the season with a knee injury, and linebackers Mack Wilson, Christian Miller and Terrell Lewis all missed significant time before returning for the final game of the regular season.
Cry me me a river replace it with your five star backup. It was like when USC was complaining of how they lost 25 to injury when Utah played them
As successful as Saban is, he always has something to complain about, which is counterintuitive. First it was the hurry up offense, now it’s prep time between games. Wonder what’s next?
I don’t blame him. Look at his last six game weeks:
bye
LSU
Miss St
Mercer
Auburn
bye
Hes never played two real teams in a row. This is all brand new to him. He should have a bye week or a FCS team in there. This is the SEC you know. The grind. Week in week out…or more like week in, week offf.
Jeebus. His ‘non-coaching analyst staff’ salaries are higher than 80% of FBS coaching staff salaries. Their FB budget alone is twice as high as the majority of schools entire AD budget.
Cry me a freaking river. I respect Nick Saban a lot, but he needs to shut his friggin yap.
