Why is Nick Saban on Gameday

[zjcvols]

This isn’t a criticism of Saban. This is a criticism of ESPN. I was curious if Gameday would be a little more “football-oriented” and less story driven with Saban on board.

I’m not asking for a three hour team meeting of Saban breaking down film. But how do you have the greatest X’s and O’s coach in college football history on the set for a full three hours and not break down any film? How is this possible? You are giving me ANOTHER Dr. Oz segment where if you seen it once you’ve seen it all and yet I can’t get Saban breaking down Georgia’s defense? Or breaking down Dillon Gabriel.

I know it’s popular to rag on ESPN and I usually roll my eyes on some of its criticism, but holy hell we are fumbling the ball here.

Now Pete Thamel is in a fishing outfit.

Sports media is full of try hards man

The show shouldn’t be 3 hours. It should be one hour. All the filler made me uninterested years ago.

Because College Gameday hasn’t been football show for close to two decades. It’s an entertainment show.

^^^^^ Winner ^^^^^

Like my complaint about Peyton and Eli, you mean you're going to give these great QB minds a show then make it FLUFF?

I wonder how long Saban will deal with the foolishness of McAfee and the in his ear direction of "coming to you, Nick, for about 20 seconds of comment on the GA QB."

I don't mind him on Game day, but WTH is he doing on there the day after his mom passed?

I don't think anyone would begrudge him being absent considering the circumstances.

I'm sure that call is 100% Nick Saban and tells you a lot about how difficult it would be to be in his family.

At least this season they didn’t have a musical act. I don’t think.

I normally don't watch any of these pregame shows.
What a waste of time

Screw the haters…Saban is great on TV.

Yeah he is

 

[NEO]

Yeah he is

Nick Saban is already so bored and over this.

I laughed hard when McAfee roasted Saban about paying players.

"Dirk Koetter is one of the offensive coordinators I always tried to hire at Alabama, could never get him. He's at Boise. He'll do a great job." - Nick Saban

"That's 'cause you were spending all your money on your players, coach." - Pat McAfee

They were all speechless LMAO

Watch SEC Nation. You’ll be better off.

 

[knoxvol52]

Watch SEC Nation. You’ll be better off.

Yea watch a show that slobbers over Georgia and Alabama more than the crew on ESPN GameDay.

And he finds McAfee hilarious. He’s on his show every week. And he’s a masterful football mind.

And a few minutes later Saban made a joke about the 20 million team at tOSU.

He is, but too much TV. I hate it when they break to a commercial and damn, there he is again. He's trying to still live rent free in our heads.

This x 1000. Same with halftime, post game, and mid week shows.

That tends to happen when the two most dominant programs in the last 10 years are in your conference. Would rather watch them slobber over Georgia and Bama than Gameday’s infatuation with Michigan and Ohio State. I’d actually like to hear Saban’s take on things but I just can’t take McAfee and the rest of those twits.

Don’t look now but the SEC Network shows are starting to slobber over us too. They love them some Nico and he’s just getting started.
