    Who was that pro player that was reduced to tears by Saban? That was awesome.

    Nick Saban: has napoleonic complex for a reason. talks a tough game and likes to control everything. once in the ring he's more likely to crap his pants. Manuel Wright says put the odds at 20:1.

    Agreed. Strong left hook would go through his guard and knock him out. Especially if thrown by Coach Yaw-Yaw.

    I have to agree. I know Saban has an "in-your-face" coaching style, but while he was here I don't recall any problems with his showing a lack of respect for his athletes.

    Saban is 0-1 vs LSU, 42-14 loss in the Indy bowl soon to be 0-2.
    Good Luck

    LSU players respected Saban....they didn't like him. Moments after Saban announced to the team that he was leaving, once he and the other coaches left the room, the players erupted in celebration. One of the asst. coaches later told one of the players "y'all could've at least waited until we had gotten further down the hall."

    2 things about Manny Wright. He had all the potential and God given talent a person can get but never quite played to ability. He also suffered (and still does) from clinical depression. I don't know whether Saban would have ordinarily canned him or not but his mental illness is what allowed him to stay with the Dolphins for so long. Total waste of talent.
