I have to disagree. There is a reason Alabama went after him with cases full of money. He is a great coach. Would his style and scheming worked out in the NFL if he stayed the five years?? I believe it would have, and I think some other fin fans do as well.
After today I do not question his coaching ability, I question his character. That is what is most dissapointing.
The guy coached up a team that shut out the Pats and embarassed the Bears, I think with time he would have proved himself. Even the best NFL coaches today took time. Legacy's are not built overnight. The third year was going to be crucial, and Saban up and left. For me this is where the anger comes from for yesterdays debacle. The quitting.
