Alabama football coach Nick Saban should be ashamed of his behavior following the Crimson Tide’s win over Louisville.
Saban was asked by ESPN’s Maria Taylor about the quarterback situation between Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts, which is a reasonable question given the fact that both played. Instead of handling it like a gentlemen, the legendary Crimson Tide coach snapped at Taylor and told her to stop asking. You can watch the outrageous video below.
The question was fair, it was timely, it was important and it was well within the bounds of what to ask after a football game. If Saban can’t handle a question like that, then he needs to find a different line of work.
If I was the athletic director of a college and my coach treated a reporter that way, I’d have them march out for a public apology. If the AD of Alabama has any guts at all, he’ll have Saban do exactly that.
-------------------
He can keep doing stuff like that because of his great recruiting and record as a coach but he goes too far with some of his mess. Imagine if it was a guy asking the question - he would have been threatening to cut access probably.
