Wall Street Journal Terry Saban Interview

[Marshal Dillon]

I don't know if the Sabans ever read any of these message boards, but the controversy that this has stirred up is bringing out a lot of negative Nellies on some of the other forums. I'm sure that is what the writer had in mind with our fan base, and he is succeeding.

Those of us who have been supporting CNS all along, and we are the rule rather than the exception. just need to keep on supporting him. Every fan base has the ignorant and the non-caring and we are no exception. I think that if that is truly what she said, that it was more of an inference of human nature rather than a slam.

Oh goodie, a conspiracy theory. Let me see, who could be behind this? McGregor, Chiznik, Pat Dye, the CIA?

I think someone is getting close to IDing the "Bagman" so he is pushing this agenda to throw them off his/her trail...

A bit of a leap to call it a conspiracy theory. 

All writers have a target they want to get a rise out of. Guess who her target is?

She was on Finebaum and she did not sound sinister or have her own agenda. Her normal beat is Finance, especially Acqusitions with the WSJ. She was at Michigan State when Saban was a coach. She found Terry Saban to be refreshing and so open & honest.

Yeah, I looked it up and found the same thing. I think I'll just take it all with a grain of salt.I do, however, think the Sabans will get an extraordinary amount of Christmas cards this year.

We want them to feel appreciated, CB. Not insulted.

context , as in taken out of ? 

read the whole thing and it's not like the media people are making it out to be
the lack of appreciation thing has been on sports radio all day , I call BS ...

these media people make me sick with their crap 

As for the Texas job, Nick has said publicly that he plans to end his career at Alabama—a view that echoes his wife's comments. Terry said that years ago, rebuilding a football program used to be "even more fun than winning" but that it has lost its appeal as the couple has aged (Nick is 62 and Terry is 61). Now that there's less to prove, she said, "I say to Nick, 'Why are we doing this? It's not to win. You tell your players all the time, it's not about winning it's about the process. This is about shaping the lives of young men.'"

She noted that this is the longest they've stayed anywhere—by two years—and that they feel like members of the community. Their children, Kristen and Nicholas, both graduated from Alabama. "We feel more like it's home, like we are a part of the community and pulling up stakes again would be difficult."

"We are trying to educate ourselves, to change ourselves," Terry said. "We can't change expectations or change lack of appreciation. We have to change our mind-set. We have decided: this is where we are going to end our career."
