Or Kiffin’s story: they’d just won a NC the day or two before, still high from the win and accomplishment. Saban walked into the coaches offices and *****ed and yelled ‘why aren’t you all out recruting?”.Cribby, did you ever read the ESPN story of Saban told by past players and coaches? One of them was from Greg McElroy who said after they won his first national title at the 2010 Rose Bowl vs Texas his victory speech was basically:
"Seniors... thank you for all you have done. Im so happy you can leave this way. Now... for you guys coming back. That fourth quarter was NOT acceptable, we dont play football like that here -- and come spring ball we will fix all that."
And he walked out. That was his victory speech.
Yeah, he might be a miserable mopey guy -- but that's the type of guy I want leading my program. My biggest problem with Coker was that he was the polar opposite of this
During their NC win over ND he threw a fit when an OL moved early on 3rd-and-short, up 42-14 with 3:00 or less to go. Literally threw fit, yelled, I think he tossed his headset.
He‘s an ***. I respect his success but wouldn‘t want to hear the same about JJ.
