Like we do Swinney? I mean he rarely smiles and rarely seems to enjoy his job.

Believe me, Bama fans love Saban and believe that Dabo will

replace him when Saban decides on his own terms to move on.

Everybody "likes" a winner!
You see it in H.S. ball sometimes where a school keeps a coach who, " is a great guy " but his winning percentage is in the can. It's getting more and more rare to see it. Winning mask a lot of "funk"! There is plenty to dislike about Saban from the outside looking in. But, the winning he does, keeps people from fully seeing those flaws!
Ask the same question if he has back to back 4 win seasons, LOL!

He's a means to an end. They love bragging and feeling superior and entitled by winning football games. They don't have to like him.
Dabo is also a means to an end. But his end isn't just winning at football.

Do you think Nick goes out to bum fight when he is really wound up? Maybe he punts puppies or burns cats? I respect the guy, but like him????? Come on!

They like his Titles, that's for sure. As long as he keeps

winning, he is golden as far as they are concerned. But, just to show how spoiled they have gotten, did you hear what the Finnedbomb caller said the day after the Natty?
"You know what I call this 14-1 season at Alabama, Pawwwl? AN EPIC FAILURE! That's what I call it, an epic #### failure!"
God help them when Bama loses two games and misses the playoffs, which could (although I personally don't think so) happen next year. Venables and staff have given all the slow witted SEC Defensive Coordinators a solid blueprint on how to take Bama down.

76er® I might very well happen next season. Sarkisian is a lot more predictable than the guys they had calling plays last year! Remember before this past season they were 3 yards and a cloud of dust. They will pretty much go back to being that; with the one exception being - they don't seem to be the same defensively as they usually are!
Could be major trouble if Any of the SEC schools can mount an offense! The best team in the SEC west could very well be Texas A & M next season; which would be great. Especially after we beat them here! They have to get a new DC as of today as well!

If TA&M is the best team in the sec west,and we beat them in Death Valley, it's very likely that we'll play them again in the CFP. How great will that be?

Yes , B.V. has shown everyone how to do it , but it may not be that easy to do. B. V. is definitely a defensive genius and we are extremely lucky to have him .

I thought I heard that Georgia, or Oklahoma, or somebody had shown BV how to do it. You know, so he can't take credit for anything since he was just copy-catting.
Just like the coots showed how to pass on our secondary and that was copied to great effect by Notre Dame and Alabama.

tiger_swimmer® I will go to my grave believing "they baited the poor fools into believing" our pass D was that week. And, it wasn't for Pitt! It was for whoever we played in the playoffs eyes to go out and try! LOL! You know; b/c coaches watch film and take things that work and use it and stuff! I'll never believe it. Toying with them making them feel like they was doing something. Like your dad landing a fish, then letting you reel it in!

I think he falls under the “He’s an @$$hole, but he’s OUR @$$hole.” category.
