Coach Saban The Next Bear??? Too Early To Tell...

My local newspaper the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer picked up an article recently comparing Nick Saban to the bear. I agree they have similar coaching styles & philosophies but lets not get carried away this early.

I want to start out by saying of course I think Coach Saban is exactly what Alabama needed after all those coaching & recruiting fiasco's of the past few seasons. We need a fierce leader who is big on discipline & coaches great defense & strong stalwart offense. He embodies the style of our revered Coach Bryant & though we can compare him all day its still much too early to call him the 2nd coming.

A comment on this article basically said the same thing. Yes it was posted by an Auburn fan still hurting from both the Iron Bowl loss & the loss of Coach Tubberville from the Auburn program but he was still pretty much on the money saying it was too soon to make this judgement.

I encourage all you fans out there to try to keep the insults against Auburn to a minimum no matter how childish or mean some of them sound when talking about our program. They are hurting from a double loss. No one expected Coach Tubberville to bail on them after one bad season. He had many many great seasons coaching Auburn and its a shame he has decided to part after one sub-par season. Im sure his replacement will be quite dangerous as well. I respect Auburns team & love the fact that records are always out the window when we play our rivalry games. Both schools programs always put 110pct on the field that saturday we all look forward to year after year.

For now I will leave you with this final thought .... ROLL TIDE ROLL BEAT THEM GATORS!!!!!!!!
