Played those admins like a fiddle

Yup! A couple of targeted 'leaks' and he fleeced the ADs for millions. ADs are the worst negotiators on the planet

 

[USNAVYCANE]

No way this works long term

I've just hear his exit meeting with the team.

**** me. He never got close to making a point.

The specter of Sir Alex Ferguson still looms large at Old Trafford. He's there for every home game and has an input in the Board. Eerily similar situation here.

DeBoer should have said "Saban leaves or I'm staying at Washington - those are my terms".

Agree.

I don’t understand why a successful coach would accept those terms.

So basically Saban wants to still be in control without having any responsibility. Good gig if you can get it.

He wants to be in control without working every hour God sends. Let some other ******* do the leg work.

Not really, longtime Man Utd fan here and this is not nearly the same situation, much worse actually.

While SAF's legacy at United is legendary, never once did any of the preceding four managers (coaches) say or even imply that SAF would have "100% access to everything."

This is a dysfunctional arrangement and almost certain to fail.

Pretty obvious to most this why he hung it up

Cry more, Nick you little *****.

You benefited for decades with the same amount of money being exchanged under the table.

While him and the unequal hand of enforcement by NCAA played a big part in the games current state. Can't blame him. The current state of the sport is a **** show right now and only getting worse.

Agreed.. but again. All caused by the NCAA.

All they had to do was take all those lawsuits seriously some years back, and came up with a plan to pay players.. they would have avoided all this.. but instead the states and the government stepped in and made them powerless.

Saban was paying kids for decades but now that other teams are allowed to, it’s too much for him. *****.

Saban got recruits the same way old millionaires get young hot chicks.

“Saban continued, ‘I’m not saying it’s wrong, I’m saying it’s very different from an era where regulations and enforcement allowed me to suppress the worker and control the market. That’s all I’m saying.’”

A winning personality and rock hard abs?
