Sorry, boss.

You joke, but I worked at a McDonalds when I was in school.  In my career I've delt with CEOs and Agency Directors and business owners of all stripes.  But nobody struck more fear into my heart than the 19-year old McDonalds assistant manager on the night shift.  I swear, I still have bad dreams about it.

When the counter revolutionaries of the Vendee went into a full on retreat out of fear of the French Revolutionary army, they met a force they feared even more than the one they were fleeing, their wives, who roundly chewed their asses for retreating. The women lit the seed of courage in the ment who then stopped the retreat and won that particular battle.

You claimed that it would be okay to get chewed out by a male boss, but much worse to be chewed out by a female boss who is "pms-ing."  It seems obvious that you deem women to be less worthy of respect than men.  Ergo, misogyny.  If you're offended by that tag, maybe consider why you're offended.

I get that he was unhappy with the offense because, honestly, Bama played like crap.  What, less than a hundred yards rusing?  They won, but 'struggled' rather than 'blew the fuck out'.  I don't know what the rant was, but most likely had something to do with their lack of being able to run the ball well.

But who cares?  Michigan couldn't run the ball well, yet Harbaugh didn't rip into anyone.  The Michigan staff set up a game plan expecting 8-9 in the box to stop the run, and played accordingly.  Why didn't the Bama staff do the same?  It's not hard to imagine a creampuff seeing they only possible way to stay in the game is to stop the run.  So they flood the box and stop the run.  Saban wasn't ready for it (and neither were Georgia or Clemson), and that is on him.  Yet he rips apart the OC, whose game plan he approved.

I kinda like our coaches demeanor, and with his staff they bring a decided schematic advantage.

That my friend is why Michigan can beat them. Lewis can lock down Ridley and they can load up to stop the run. Espn announcer said it best that their defense will carry them this year. Starting a true freshman QB and they never really have good development in that department or that good of players talent wise. Unless they unleash Damien Harris, I smell doom! Haha...

Saban told him to take a knee and he ran a play instead. I'd be pissed too.

It was somewhere on ESPN's site.

EDIT: Found it -- it is in quotation marks as the link to the video in this article (at the bottom of the page, under "Best Moments"):

http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/page/gamedayfinal091016/ce…

The video occurs with the clock stopped at 46 seconds, which is right after the Hilltoppers had scored in three plays following a Bama fumble on a second-down running play that began with 1:34 left. So Saban wanted to run the clock down, maybe expecting the WKU coach to cooperate and just let the game end if there was any time left (a few seconds at best) after fourth down. But Kiffin ran a messy play and the shit hit the fan.

Head Coaches yelling at Coordinators, Coordinators yelling at each other. Coordinators yelling at their position coaches....

They get into fits with each other all the time.. only difference is they don't act like 8th grade girls and hold grudges...

Bo told a story of confronting his defensive coordinator in his first season when MSU was running all over Michigan. Said the man fainted, I am sure he changed his approach after that.

Definitely examples you can point to of heated exchanges but they always come at a risk. Grudges are most certainly kept but just not displayed publicly.

Individuals learn who they can get away with that with. If Saban decided to get heated with the wrong individual he would be lying flat on his back. He will be excused since he is a successful football coach and we make idols out of those but it's not good practice to publically embarrass people like that.

If I were Kiffin, I would meet with him privately and remind him that I have a wife and children watching; he gets a free pass on one but if he ever does that to me again then he better be ready to pick himself up off the grass. I would remind him that I extended a courtesy that he did not extend to me.

I am not even a Kiffen fan.

The minute you touched Saban, you'd be out of a job and spending the next few months in the unemployment office. You'd never get a major college job again, at any level.

Saban is a hardass, but it's your word against his. And you will lose that battle every stinking time. He is untouchable, and you are very much replaceable. Saban could dump Kiffin today, find another OC, and still be a title favorite every year. You'd be lucky to find an assistant to the water boy position at Dipsy Doodle State Technical College.

it was the end of the game and LK put a dude in motion instead of handing the ball off and running out the clock, which led to a TO and a late score; I suspect that's what drew the ire of Smaug.
