I am a Fin Fan and an MSU fan and you cannot say his name around East Lansing without having to duck...Saban's antics (i.e. not meeting face to face with his coaches) are typical of a guy who walked out on his team right before their first major bowl for more money...
And after he abandoned MSU he trashed the school by saying they could never compete on level ground with U of M...Not only did it hurt the school with his statement, he made his accusations to justify his early sub par performance at the school...
You'd think after bailing so many times in poor taste he'd learn from his actions...

and this is just a few of them...
ANDDDDDD
If you look at the type of person Saban is, look at how loyal some of his old coaches have been to him...Notice how few of them jump at the chance to work with him again...
examples: Mark D'Antonio current MSU coach refused to part with Saban to LSU, when he initally left and one year later...Todd Grantham who turned down Saban TWICE to act as Defensive Coordinator for the Dolphins...Will Muschamp who would much rather be the defensive coordinator at Auburn than be spurned (no title???) by Saban in the NFL...
Im sure the list goes on and on of former coaches that dislike Saban...add to the list if you can think of any...
