I don't remember OSU being a powerhouse when CLM was there..

You're right, they weren't. But CLM did bring them from 4 win seasons to 8 win seasons(minus the first, which is understandable) and he was able to beat OU. I'd call that successful. And people in Oklahoma still hate Miles for leaving, so there's that too

Give him a break, that's not what he said. He didn't say that we want him now, just that we would have rather kept him when he left. If anybody says they were happy to see him go, they're lying.

Haha maybe I got a lil carried away. But things could not have turned out better. Saban is a great coach but CLM is an outstanding person and I'm happy that he has the keys to out Program. I think when its all said and done he would go down as a legendary coach.

Awww cmon now .. Don't you find it's just a little bit suspisious that Jeno James played at the cow college and that Heath Evans played at the cow college.. Didn't Nick also cut his sorry arse from the team as well.. could be some sour grapes.. maybe that's why it took him 5 years to finally get the nerve to come forward with this claim.....

call it claim if you want ... most would the incident fact :

On July 28, 2005, Greg Bedard of the PALM BEACH POST reported on the incident involving James that was described by Evans to Sedano during their Tuesday interview:

Dolphins guard Jeno James was carried through the Dolphins’ locker room on a stretcher and then airlifted to a local hospital late Wednesday night, vomiting and complaining of light-headedness after the second of two practices, according to two league sources.

One Dolphins player described the scene as “scary” and “shocking.”

Dolphins coach Nick Saban was asked Wednesday whether he thought his training camp was tough.

“I don’t really know,” Saban said. “This is the work that, as a staff, we prescribe in terms of what we need to do to be a well- conditioned team that can play with intangibles, for 60 minutes, that you need to have success.

“Winning games in the fourth quarter is important. I don’t think you can do that unless you are well- conditioned and have a lot of toughness. I don’t know if you can develop that without creating some adversity. We are not out here trying to make it more difficult than it needs to be.”

The next day, Carlos Frias of the PALM BEACH POST reported of the condition of James:

A stomach virus that has been going around and helped put offensive lineman Jeno James in the hospital also kept quarterback A.J. Feeley out of practice Thursday.

James, a 315-pound guard, already was ill when he pushed himself too hard in practice Wednesday night and collapsed, cornerback Reggie Howard said. James was rushed to Broward General Hospital, where he was treated for dehydration. He remained hospitalized Thursday night for observation.

Saban was at James’ bedside at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday and found him “fine, talking” and eager to return to practice. But the Dolphins have not said when they expect him back.

“The first thing he does when you talk to him is apologize for not being able to answer the bell,” Saban said. “It’s amazing. He demonstrates everything you ever talk about in a football player in terms of toughness, work ethic, trying to do everything you want him to do.”

Several Dolphins said they saw James throwing up in the locker room before the second practice Wednesday then froze when they saw him lying on the ground as the medical staff treated him.

“It was frightening at first,” Howard said. “No one knew what was going on.”

On August 3, 2005, Andre C. Fernandez of the MIAMI HERALD reported that James had returned to the team:

Scary and painful.

Dolphins starting left guard Jeno James used those words Tuesday to describe his bout with heat exhaustion and a stomach virus that hospitalized him last week.

“Basically, I don’t remember that night too well,” said James, who was airlifted to Broward General Hospital after last Wednesday night’s practice. “That night I just had to get through that practice. I did make it, but after that I don’t remember. I think it was one of the hardest times I ever went through in my life as far as being sick like that.”

James said he thought a lot about former Minnesota Vikings star Korey Stringer while he was in the hospital and said he was grateful to be alive. Stringer died of complications from heat stroke in 2001.

On Tuesday, James watched practice and jogged at times on the sideline.

He said he was not going to rush his return.

“Right now I’m just trying to get strong again and be smart about this,” James said.

Finally, Jeff Darlington of the PALM BEACH POST reported that James had returned to full workouts on August 7, 2005:

Jeno James, who collapsed from a stomach virus July 27, participated in his first full workout since the incident. James has dressed for several practices, but he hadn’t begun participating in heavy team drills before Saturday.

At the end of his report on James’ return, Darlington noted:

Saban said the coaching staff consistently checks to make sure he remains in good health.

It's no secret that Saban is a cold hearted bastard that will win at any cost. He could give two sh*ts about his players, no matter what program, as long as he wins to cement his legacy. He and Bama are a match made in Hell. Dirtiest program in history found their groom. Cheers!:hihi:

lsn't it funny that 100 people can read that article and all 100 can walk away with take on what was written. what I see is that "Saban was at James’ bedside at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday and found him “fine, talking” and eager to return to practice.".. Now does that really sound like a"cold hearted bastard"?

Nick is a no nonsense coach and kind of a dick. He always was, even at LSU. His players respected him, but they did not love him. He was forgiven because he wins. It is no different at Bama.
