Lou Saban should be fired

[TouchdownHusky]

Lou Saban was interviewed about the election and his response was absolutely deplorable. If I heard him correctly (wish I had recorded it), he was TOO BUSY to vote last Tuesday, in fact, he didn't even realize it was Election Day. He had IMPORTANT WORK TO DO with Mississippi State taking the field on Saturday versus the Tide (51-3, 'Bama win).

For that single oversight (dismissive reasoning), he should be let go by the University of Alabama and never hired again by any school. He is suppose to be a leader. He is the highest profile individual in the state of Alabama. He is responsible for an entire program that is primarily African-American in composition. He is suppose to be building character and leadership and developing strong young men to go forth and be a positive example for their families, friends and communities. And, what message does he send? Nothing else matters,but his football program. He is TOO BUSY to be bothered with such "trivial" matters as the Presidential Election. Soldiers and Veterans giving their life for this most important of rights . . . the right to vote. Wow!!! What a dispicable example for his players and the university. What a narcissistic, arrogant, elitis, pompous, self-absorbed buffoon.

Can't tell if this is serious. Is Lou any relation to Nick?

If Lou Saban actually voted, then @shizzle787 would've been right about dead people being registered in NC.

Nick Saban. My bad. Nick Saban. I was fired up, what can I say. I didn't stop to proof read. My bad. That's why I don't Tweet. Good thing I didn't send this to the university's Board of Trustees. Thanks for picking this up.

Your reaction is way over the top. We have right to vote like we have the right to not vote.

Yes he should set a better example, but maybe he knows his state better than we do. Maybe he doesn't want to inflame in either side.

Literally no good can come from answering that question. If he said "Yeah I voted for Trump/Clinton" it was a lose-lose regardless. If he says he "didn't know it was election day" then he can get past the question and people won't be pestering him about who he voted for

 

[TouchdownHusky]

NICK Saban should have voted, simply because of the example it sets. As for who he voted for? He knows the coach of the Patriots, so his reply could simply have been . . . " Yes, I did vote. Now we're on to Mississippi State. We're focused on Miss State".

Wait this thread is serious?

Good rant though... Saban: Forgot Election Day, but voted absentee

>>Saban and Auburn's Gus Malzahn had filmed ads during the campaign season urging Alabama residents to vote.<<

 

[buddy]

His vote would not have made a difference in Alabama. It was not even close there. He played it correctly.

 

[uconndogs]

When Alabama fires Saban for failing to vote should we hire him?

I'm honestly starting to think that I am truly more stupid each time I read this board.

 

[CTMike]

Color me shocked that TDH went on an uninformed rant.

1) Saban: why not just say you voted early, right? The great coaches (e.g. JC) teach more than just how to play a sport.
2) Media: y'all know people can vote early in Bama. How about digging a little before running with this crap.

We REALLY need a game soon. Even a drubbing by BC would produce more informed posts. This was unreal, but it fits in with a lot of other completely moronic drivel posted in the last few days.
I don't care if Lou voted for The Ronald or for Celery. It's a moot point.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I heard Finebaum talk about this. He said that he believes Saban is a democrat and he knows his fan base isnt. So...he avoids the topic. He did it poorly, but there was a reason he said what he said.

Saban hates and mistrusts the media. What he says to them may or may not be the truth. I saw him speak at a company function. He actually seems like a decent guy and he is much better without a camera stuck in his face.

The Lou Saban who coached the Buffalo Bills in the 1960's when they were an AFL franchise was not related to Nick Saban. Somebody wrote an article claiming they were distant cousins, but the two families have indicated there's no relation.

This needs to be in the cesspool

 

[UConnDan97]

I like it better when idiotic threads go without any responses at all. it's the only way that people will learn, folks...

Now that's funny s4it!!!!

 

[Alum86]

Nick voted absentee. TDH is out of line. Roll Tide

 

[weyuo]

Saban could/should have taken the high road and told whoever the nosey SOB was to mind their own business.

 

[Stinger92860]

Coaches PPGDL would eat Saban and spit him out. I've heard from sources that Diaco voted several times.

I'm actually SHOCKED it hasn't reached Cesspool levels yet....I thought by the third post in this thread it be headed straight for cesspool status....yet nothing yet!
