The Saban E-mail

[fins2923]

PFT has the Saban e-mail posted on the website. FYI

 

[Phish_Food]

Less than two weeks after former Fins coach Nick Saban said that he never browses the Internet or sends e-mails, Saban apparently has taken a crash course in electronic communications.​

Because he informed most of his players of his departure from the team . . . by sending them an e-mail.​

"Thanks for your efforts and support," Saban wrote. "I'll help you in any way I can in the future. I thought the damage done relative to me talking to the Alabama people made it impossible for me to come back as the Dolphins coach. I would love to talk to you. Please feel free to call me."
Okay, so Saban left because of the damage that occurred because he decided to speak to the "Alabama people" after declaring that he wouldn't be the Alabama coach? ​

(Nick, good luck looking a recruit and/or his parents in the eye and persuading them that: (1) you'll be the coach at Alabama for their son's full career there; (2) their son will be a starter; and/or (3) their son will be better prepared to play in the NFL if he plays for Alabama.)

We obtained a copy of the e-mail, sent on January 3 at 4:30 p.m., from one of the recipients. ​

The list of addressees included: Andre Goodman, Anthony Alabi, Bennie Anderson, Channing Crowder, Cleo Lemon, Damion McIntosh, Dan Stevenson, Dan Wilkinson, Darian Barnes, Daunte Culpepper, David Bowens, Derek Hagan, Derrick Pope, Donnie Jones, Donnie Spragan, Eddie Jackson, Eric Kimble, Fred Evans, Fred Gibson, Jack Hunt, Jason Allen, Jason Rader, Jason Willis, Jeff Zgonina, Jeno James, Jim Maxwell, Joe Toledo, Joey Harrington, John Denney, Keith Adams, Keith Traylor, Kendyl Jacox, Kyle Eckel, Lee Gray, L.J. Shelton, Marcus Vick, Marty Booker, Matt Roth, Michael Lehan, Norman Lejeune, Patrick Cobbs, P.K. Sam, Renaldo Hill, Ronnie Brown, Sammy Morris, Toniu Fonoti, Travares Tillman, Travis Daniels, Travis Minor, Vernon Carey, Vonnie Holliday, Will Allen, and Yeremiah Bell.​

Curiously absent from the list were Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor, Randy McMichael, Wes Welker, Chris Chambers, and Olindo Mare.

Maybe they actually got the courtesy of a phone call.​

I just obtained text from the real email he sent. Here's how it went:

Dear Team:

Remember all that stuff I said about Character, Honesty, Integrity and Responsibility? Yeah ... um ... nevermind!

-Coach Saban

You do realize that ill will on the football field would have a huge effect his life outside of football, right? I mean do you want him to go winless? Who knows where that could lead; losing his job, I'm sure his wife doesn't work; alcohol abuse; fits of rage; spousal abuse; child abuse; jail time; homosexual favors; a membership in the brotherhood. I'm just saying it's all connected - circle of life and what not. If you're gonna wish ill will on someone, you can't do it with clauses and apologies.

**** him. :D

Saban is big pus**y.

Not even. He's like 5'4" I think....

He's a little, little man....

His wife showed more gumption brushing off that S FLA interviewer yesterday than he ever did in this entire process...

It's all good though, if you think about we can only get better. His schemes were too complicated and he wasn't doing a good job anyway. With the team we have he should have won more games. Look at what Andy Reid has done with his back-up QB & with AJ Feeley....:fire:

I can't believe the difference in feelings towards that man. Everyone in south florida hates him but in Bama they are going nuts over the guy.

I was checking out an LSU message board... I thought something was kind of funny but I don't condone... One of the guys said "when Bama and LSU play eachother, it will be D battery night!" Lol...

 

[Finfan53]

Hey better now he leave than later....

 

[PSMITH]

Why does everyone talk about how mad they are that he left, and then talk about how horrible he was anyway? Shouldn't that make you glad he left without us having to buy him out?

Personally, I thought he was doing alright and just needed another year or two, but it also doesn't bother me that he left.

I read that Welker got a phone call. I don't know about the others.
