Saban would be horrible as an AD. He doesn't have the personality or temperament to go begging for money and working the chicken dinner circuit. If you could break it up into separate jobs such as glad-handing beggar and evil overlord. Saban would probably do OK as the Athletic Evil Overlord.
And you're basing this on what? Certainly not the fact that he has raised millions of dollars for his and other charities. People act like all he does is yell at players on the practice field all day. I'm pretty sure he does plenty of glad-handing as it is.
What I don't think he has is any desire to be an AD. If he did, he would make a great one IMO.
Bartman79, Dustin's not bashing Coach Saban... he's just telling the truth. Saban would end up pissing many people off. Do I think he's the best football coach in the USA? Yes, I do. But a successful AD. NOPE!
Of course I'm an AU Fan but I agree with Dustin.
Bucktrot, I am fully aware of what Dustin is saying. And, just because you agree with it doesn't make it the truth. It may be his opinion and yours, but I don't believe we can quite call it the "truth".
Who do you suspect he would piss off as AD, and how? As long as he isn't looking for support from YOU or the fanbase of any of the other SEC schools he's crushing, I don't think he would have any problems.
Of course, I'm a Bammer, but I disagree with you AND Dustin.
