Saban can be an a-hole because he can coach. U can’t be an a-hole and can’t coach. Manny carried himself as if he was that dude, but couldn’t live up to it. And Manny wasn’t a hard worker, that false narrative gets exposed almost everyday now by comments of opposing coaches, recruits, players, high school coaches and staff. He talked a great game but no results.
Mario has outworked Manny in over one month in numerous areas including: recruiting, credibility, relationship building and vision for the program going forward. There’s a difference between intentions and results. Between the two is intelligence and work ethic. I liked and supported Manny openly. But if he tried, then what do U call what Mario is doing?
