Did anyone watching the game last night notice how Pissed off Saban got when they got a penalty. Why is it ok for him to go pissy on his players and tv but not pelini?

 
The proof is in the pudding. Saban has won three NC's while Bo has won none. When Saban went to LSU, LSU hadn't been to a bowl for a couple of years and hadn't won a conference championship in 12 years. He immediately turned the program around and won a NC building up the program that Les Miles inherited. When Saban took over the Alabama program, it was riddled with problems. Bama hadn't won a conference championship in the eight years prior. Saban since taking over in 2007 has now won two NC's.

 
If snarling on the sidelines is wrong, it's wrong. A good W/L record shouldn't give a coach a free pass to behave any way he wants. If it's OK to snarl when you're 12-1 and won the mythical national championship, it's OK to snarl when you're 9-4 and finish #24.

In theory? Yes. In reality? No. That's just the way of the world. Things that winners do are often considered strong points, while a loser doing the same thing is often considered a flaw.

 
As a coach he's great. As a person, not so much. He is wired different. That story that came out earlier this year about how he stepped over an injured player and went to his office without saying a word is very telling.

It's only the way of the world because most people in the world are dumb.

 
The easiest way to look at it is if I'm a high profile recruit would I rather play for a prick that's a proven winner or a prick that isn't? I have a feeling this is how the media looks at it as well.

Did you see Saban and Miles' interviews going into halftime? Considerate, informative, to the point. LSU at that point had about 40 yards of offense and Miles was able to put together 150 words that didn't include "we'll be fine" -- Compare that with Bo. Bo's sideline demeanor is just one of his many issues when it comes to the public's perception of him. Put it all together and that's why it's an issue for Pelini and not Saban.
