It’s been awhile since FNS has published a news story but it’s been even longer since Nick Saban has won a football game. The last football game that Nick has coached and won was back in 2013 in the month of November. To be more precise:

• Location: Tuscaloosa, Alabama (Bryant-Denny Stadium)
• Game start: 1:06 p.m.
• Elapsed time: 2:39
• Game attendance: 100,179
• Game weather: 54°, Wind N 13 mph, Overcast
• Referee: Hubert Owens
• TV announcers (CTSN): Chris Stewart (play-by-play), Tyler Watts (color), Tom Roberts (sideline)
• Final Score: Alabama 49, Chattanooga 0

Most people would get fired if they did not do their job for that length of time. We need to fire Nick and move on!

And the days keep adding up…

With all of this talk about firing Nick, it makes sense to take a look at what he has done relative to his peers. In particular, Les Miles has demonstrated he brings more value to the table than Saban when given the chance and is more affordable. Below are the top 5 reasons why Les Miles is a better man than Nick Saban:

• Les had a higher win % at LSU right after Nick left!

Over his tenure at LSU from 2005-2013 Les had a win percentage of .798

Over his tenure at LSU from 2000-2004 Nick had a win percentage of .750

•  Nick has let his team down in the postseason by losing a bowl game by almost 40 points!

Les’s highest margin loss in a bowl game was by 26 points to Ohio State in the 2004 Alamo Bowl

Nick’s highest margin loss in a bowl game was by 38 points to Stanford in the 1996 Sun Bowl

• Les is a better recruiter

As an example, Les and Nick recently battled to recruit High School phenom Dylan Moses. Saban lost out in the end.

• Les has a lower $/win ratio – let’s hire him!

Getting back to some of the basic, raw facts of why Saban should be fired, let’s take a look at some past bowl games to illustrate the unflinching cowardliness demonstrated by The Sabe.

Starting with recent history, the cocky Tide roll into New Orleans on a cold January 2nd to face off against the undefeated Utah Utes. Talk about being over-favored and underwhelming, the Tide gave the Utes their very first win over an SEC team and held Alabama to a meager position the first half of the game. Continue reading →

It’s about time we reach outside the confines of FNS and look outwards to highlight those individuals that also see that Nick Saban is not cool.

The well-respected Daniel Tosh from Comedy Central’s Tosh.0 has shared more than a few times his disdain for the former Miami coach and his path from the NFL to college football. Take a look at Tosh’s statement on his show as he clearly understands why Nick should not only be fired but is far from being an honorable coach. Continue reading →
