Alabamas Nick Saban blasts Blake Barnett for quitt

QuarterbackBlake Barnett made headlines when he withdrew from Alabama this week. Barnett started for the Tide in the season opener against Sidney Jones Jersey USC before losing the job totrue freshmanJalen Hurts.Speaking about the move to leave the school, Alabama coach Nick Saban let his true feelings be known.MORE: "It's one of those things where I think the culture has changed a little bit," Saban said on his weekly radio show, . "I think there's a certain pride people have in competition. There's certain things that I was taught growing up about not quitting and seeing things through. I think if I would have come home and told my dad that I was going to quit the team, I think he would have kicked me out of the Philadelphia Eagles Jersey house. I don't think I'd have a place to stay."He continued."My dad used to always say, 'The gra s is always greener on top of Paul Worrilow Jersey the septic tank.'So it always looks better someplace else. So you think, instead of facing your fears and really overcoming adversity and making yourself better through the competition, you go someplace else thinking it will be better there. But until you face your fears, you're always going to have some of those i sues or problems."There's a lot to unpack here. The mainbuzzword to take away from Saban's quotes is "quit." The veteran coach's use of that word drew some criticism on social media, especially from those who believe he quit in the NFL after twoseasons with the Miami Dolphins.Saban has "quit" jobs for a better situation. Hypocritical, self-serving me sage. Alshon Jeffery Jersey Not just him. Any coach hating on transfers Andrew McCain (@dragon_mccain) While there will be those who Shareef Miller Jersey criticize Saban, there are plenty of others who agree with them. It's not often you see a player decided to leave a school so early in the season.At the end of the day, though,Barnett has moved on, and it appears Saban will, too. But first, he had to get some things off his chest.
