I'm surprised my friends didn't hear the eye-rolling this news generated.
Nick Saban, Alabama head coach, bitching about the early signing period for college football recruitment. Saban commenting that "it takes away from your game preparation" was just too much to take.
What, Nick, you need a friggin' month (instead of two weeks) to get ready for the Sugar Bowl tilt with Clemson? Or are you just so afraid that some other program is going to grab that 4- or 5-Star recruit you were looking at (to add to your depth and ride the depth).
Sorry, Nick, but you get no tears from this corner. 'Bama is, after all, one of the premier programs in the country. And you're being paid more than a small country's GNP to run it (coach salaries, another sore point. But I digress). This is the first time the NCAA has gone with this early signing period. We'll see how it all shakes out, but from my view, Saban's complaints seem to be much ado about nothing.
