I have never met a Cardinal or Crimson alum who talks, defends and adores like this. It is such a curious outlier, and has been so to me pretty much from the outset. I’m not saying any claims are untrue — I know all kinds of people with all kinds of backstories. I’m just saying the end result is, at the least, noteworthy and atypical, and gives me a litte smile.
What are "the claims?"
This whole thread is confusing.
What's so hard to understand about Saban building a juggernaut and doing things Stanford doesn't do - or even try to do, as far as I can tell. You know, like work really hard on the recruiting trail, hire the best assistants - even if they are independent thinkers who will not submit to . . . whatever it is Shaw thinks he has built here, etc.
Yeah, Stanford is not Alabama and never will be (though 2010 was pretty close).
Agreed.
Does that mean we should not try and get better (i.e., emulate those who do it best)?
Not sure I understand what the supposed debate is here.
