ckparrothead said:First off he does have a gag order on players. They can only speak to the press during approved interview sessions.
Second, he would never restrict them from saying something that he himself has said publicly multiple times.
Actually Saban just said publicly from Gatsby's that he does not want to look into the future and speak hypothetically but that the best player would remain on the field and they wouldn't change that until they felt another player would definitely give them the better chance of winning.
It was pretty funny, someone had a little kid stand up and ask him if Joey Harrington continued to win would he start next season.
I have to say Saban didn't say Daunte was the guy of the future, he basically said may the best man win which I think is great because we always want the best guy out on the field regardless of what the fans think or want.
