SABAN STEPS IN IT (AND YOU KNOW WHAT "IT" IS, DON'T YOU?)
Former Dolphins coach Nick Saban possibly has dropped his shoe into a huge pile of poo with comments apparently made off the record to the Alabama press.
Several readers have sent the audio clip to us, in which Saban relates a story that was shared with him by one of the members of the LSU Board of Trustees. He likely didn't realize that someone's tape recorder was rolling.
Here's the audio. Here's the raw transcript:
"My friends are okay with it. The rest of those guys? One of my, one of my guy on the board -- you guys won't be able to put this on the thing -- was walking down the street, one of the Board of Trustees guys like these people from around here and sitting up on the stage today at LSU, is walking down the street yesterday before the Sugar Bowl. He calls me. There's a guy working in a ditch. One of those coon-ass guys that talk funny. I can't talk like him but he can. Most people in Louisiana can. And he says, 'Hey, you see where Coach Saban signed up with Alabama?' You know however they talk. And the Board of Trustees guy says, 'Yeah, I saw that.' And he say, 'That son of a bitch. I feel like he's screwing my wife.'"
We don't know where the audio originated, or who inserted sound effects to block the words "bitch" and "screwing." It appears that the comments were made on January 4, following Saban's introductory press conference at Alabama.
And though we don't know whether it's real or a forgery, if it's a forgery it's a damn convincing forgery.
With letter-of-intent day for Saban's first recruiting class at Alabama arriving one week from today, this is something that Saban needs to clear up ASAP.
If he can.
Meanwhile, that sound you hear in the distance is Miami Dolphins fans around the world laughing their asses off.
And what should happen to Saban because of this? If he said what he said, and if there's no alternative meaning for the word "coon-ass," Nick by all rights should be unemployed.
Of course, in Alabama the rules that applied to guys like Jimmy the Greek and Al Campanis might be somewhat different.
