Michael Wilbon, Washington Post The question now for Alabama is: How quickly will somebody else turn [Saban's] head? Clearly, he likes being courted as much, if not more, than he likes coaching. I'd love to be one of the good Southeastern Conference schools -- say, Florida, Auburn, Georgia, LSU -- recruiting against Alabama now. I'd make up a big board with all of Saban's lies over the last two years and I'd show the quotes to all those boys' mamas and daddies. I'd hammer at Saban's credibility in every living room across the South. If Saban had simply said, "I'm considering some options and I'm not ready to talk about this until the end of the season," there would be no issue with him. But his handling of the situation will and should dog him indefinitely. |
