Former Alabama players and Crimson Tide fans are not feeling the kinder, gentler Nick Saban.
One of Eminem’s most popular songs is “The Real Slim Shaddy.” The biggest verse is “will the real Slim Shady please stand up.’
People are asking for the hardcore Saban to return to the forefront. College football has changed because of NIL, but Tide fans want to see their coach demanding excellence from everyone. The change starts with himself. Coach Saban needs to revert to the qualities that started Alabama’s championship run in 2008. He was tough, hard, challenging, and expected nothing but perfection from everyone.
