Josh Pate On The Worst Nick Saban Article EVER (Late Kick Cut)

Alabama Football has finished spring practice as Nick Saban and the Tide gear up for the 2023 College Football season, but on Late Kick Live Ep 392 Josh Pate discussed things being said OFF the field. With NIL dominating the headlines at SEC Spring Meetings last week, the Mike Florio's of the world took to their platform to spew uninformed takes on Saban's stance on NIL matters. What do you think about Florio claiming Nick Saban is scared of the NIL era even as he just signed perhaps his best class ever at Alabama?

Florio is one of those hardcore NFL guys who are still salty at Saban for leaving Miami. They just can’t fathom that anyone would like college football better than the NFL, so they attribute it to some sort of character flaw in order to soothe their bruised egos.

[@WilliamBryant-325]

Totally AGREE!

[@OhioBoyDon]

This is just my opinion; college football is not becoming like the NFL, it’s becoming what a lot of NFL fans wish the NFL WOULD be like. For those reasons and other reasons (just sick of some of the NFL’s bull crap), I think you will start to see more fans like myself start gravitating more towards college football than the NFL. Maybe we’ll get more angry articles in the future like this that we can all laugh at.

[@505premoto]

As someone who has a great deal of respect for Saban, I presume that this was intended as satire. 99% of the time? There is a list of things he has whined about that weren’t true or, amusingly enough, things that he finally had to accept and adapt to after pissing and moaning to anyone who would listen about how bad for college football that thing was.

[@glockman9c]

@@505premoto - LIST THEM

[@505premoto]

@@glockman9c Let me give you a prime example: when he lost a game to a team that had a hurry up offense, often calling two or more plays in the huddle, he went on a very public rant about how that was destroying the game and called for the NCAA to make it illegal. You could look it up for yourself. It was comical. Then, what did he do? Why, he hired the guy, Lane Kiffin, who was the master of the quick play offense. To his credit, he did realize that the game was evolving and it was he rather than everyone else who had to change. And we don’t even need to get into the crap he was spewing about Jimbo buying all of his players. Saban was on his moral high horse about the evils of the NIL when all it did was bring out into the open the long standing practice of giving money to players. There was zero evidence that what Jimbo did was either illegal or anything different than what other programs were openly involved in. And like he has in the past, he has totally reversed course and Alabama now is as actively involved in NIL deals as any other school. Saban has a long established reputation for being against something that he later avidly engaged in. If you knew anything about the program, you would already know that.

[@glockman9c]

@@505premoto - Jimbo did buy his players and NIL is a freakin disaster. He did not say that to the press, he said that in a closed gathering. He also said the transfer portal was going to be a mess, and it is. Of course he adopted to the offense; that does not mean he is was not right about it. He also says that everyone should play P5 teams. He cares about football and all the Bama haters try to make it out like he is scared and trying to get Bama the advantage and that is simply not true.

[@505premoto]

@@glockman9c Oh please. Cite your source for TAMU’s players being bought. Name the player and how much they got paid. I would be interested in seeing your detailed response. You do have that do you not or are you just looking like a fool? Also, of note, Texas is paying Arch Manning $3m to play for them. How many TAMU players got $1m? The transfer portal is a disaster? For who? So Alabama doesn’t play the transfer portal game? They just announced two weeks ago that they snagged Jalen Key from UAB who was heavily courted by FSU. Several players on their 2023 roster are disasters apparently. Alabama is just as active in the portal as anyone. Some disaster. Nothing you say makes any sense.

[@juansorto8411]

Anytime Coach Saban comes out with a statement regarding a new policy or a new change in some rule or regulation, it should be received almost like a warning. Because of the way he runs his program whatever issue he's facing has been analyzed, scrutinized and already working on a solution to overcome it or approach it the best way possible. He's basically letting everyone else know, if we consider this an issue you may want to as well. Except they've already been working on the solution when everyone else is still learning about the problem.

[@kelshotss]

Or maybe he’s just fucking scared, if Texas and USC NIL wasn’t working you think Saban would have said anything?😂😂 Saban is crying for help from his boosters to get MORE NIL he’s knows in the legal NIL game he can’t win

[@bluemarlin8138]

@@kelshotss Or maybe (definitely) you’re just delusional and didn’t notice that he signed one of the highest rated classes of all time a few months ago? So he’s scared of being successful, I guess? Texas and USC should recruit very well with or without NIL, and they were only recruiting poorly recently because of bad coaches. No one thought either of them would have crap recruiters coaching there forever. Also, if you had done any research whatsoever, you’d know that a lot of guys who signed with Bama did so even though other schools offered them more money. It’s almost as if players want to come play for the GOAT because they know Bama puts an insane number of players in the NFL, and they know that the NFL payday is a lot bigger than the NIL payday. And yeah, Bama really can compete in NIL. They may not have the few billionaire tycoon boosters, but they have a ton of quite wealthy boosters who care more about football than boosters at most places. And being at such a high-profile program means Bama players are more likely to get national endorsement deals.

One of Saban's favorite quotes is something along the lines of "Excellence hates mediocrity. The mediocre hate excellence." And that is the case here. Saban is excellence, extended excellence, at the highest level for 15 years. Mediocre people hate him simple because of it. And use all kinds of excuses and accusations to tear him down every chance they get. When the simple truth is, he's just better at it than most of the rest.

You have to remember that state pride and loyalty don’t exist anymore like it did 20 plus years ago. Social media has taken care of that. Now that a lot of schools are trying to play catch-up and actually take football more seriously the damage has already been done on all fronts. Kids don’t care about the state they reside in and leave for the schools that invested all along. The state of Florida is the perfect example of this. There isn’t any reason for the big three to let over 50% of the top talent in the country to leave and go elsewhere, but it happened because all three were too cheap or too stubborn to change with the times. All three for almost 10 years made the wrong hires.

It’s just as silly, Josh. Georgia is a *passing* football team, first, like it or not, that’s why they’ve won the last two years. The best evidence (EPA) teases this out. UGA literally could have been playing significantly worse defense and still probably won the natty. This same thing can *not* be said about the passing O. Easily the biggest driver. So they will continue to pass like they have (and even more) if they know what’s good for them (I think they do lol)
