USA Today (among puh-lenty of other websites) is reporting Alabama Crimson Tide coach and notorious coach of lengthy tenures, Nick Saban, may have committed recruiting violations, in, get this, the city of Miami. Now, we’re not super-geniuses most of the time, but our gut tells us that Saban probably loved by all in South Beach.
Saban apparently went after some current University of Miami verbal commits, mostly juniors in high school, and the youngsters (not surprisingly) tone down Saban’s comments a bit; even if this is a technical violation it’s a minor one. But still…if there is going to be a coach who will push the limits/bend the rules/enter other cliche here, it’s Saban.
And sure, his backstabbing style of departure netted the Fins Cam Cameron and Joey Harrington, which may or may not pan out in the long run, so the city really owes him a lot of gratitude. Plus that whole Daunte-Culpepper-over-Drew-MVP-Brees thing, but hey, who’s counting right?
As Lt. Winslow will tell you, Saban ain’t exactly the most popular person in South Beach. Which makes us wonder, what the hell was he thinking?? Seriously. Two places in the entire free world where you can’t go and dirty recruit, Nick. One is the state of Louisiana. Reasons are obvious, right? Okay. The other place? F’ing Miami. We’re going to go out on a limb here and guess that some of these high school kids growing up, in Miami, are probably Dolphins fans. Which means, like the rest of the city, they hate Saban. So, Nick, leave South Beach alone and go break some NCAA rules in Mississippi or something.
Seriously, this is like when we donkey-punched our ex-girlfriend, immediately broke up with her and then showed back up at her birthday party to hit on her friends. It didn’t end well either.
