            1981. Saban was the Buckeyes DB coach. Bruce didn't like the job that the DC, Dennis Fryzel, had done, and felt that Saban (and Dline coach, Steve Szabo) were loyal to Fryzel. Ohio State was 9-3 that year.

                    Ohio State's secondary had some rough patches that season as did the defense as a whole. It culminated with a disastrous 35-31 loss at Minnesota (a game, incidentally, you'll see every time BTN is fool enough to do a "Goofer Day"). It was a fucking abomination. The loss cost Ohio State the Rose Bowl as they tied with Iowa (who OSU didn't get a chance to play) and the "who went last rule" sent OSU off to Memphis to play in the Liberty Bowl and warm up the ol' girl for the Bear's legendary defeat of Machine Gun Tony Eason and the Illinois Bears the following season.

                    Saban was surely a victim of happenstance, but the DC was not.

                    Some of the coaches ol' Earle had on his staff in the 80s: Pete Carroll, Nick Saban, UFM.

                    • I don't fault any coach for making adjustments as needed. Earle did what he felt he needed to do. And, honestly, Saban WAS loyal to Fryzel, who was one of the few friends Saban would allow on the sidelines and field before games at Bama in 2007 and 2008 (Fryzel died in 2009).

                      Did you read Saban's quotes from the article I posted? Seemed softer than the Saban of today. Heh. Good stuff.

                      • I didn't read the article. Until now. Forgot how young that secondary was. I only remember the loss to Minnesota (and earlier in the season, to FSU). Any time you lose to the Goofer it sticks with you for, like, ever. Shameful fucking shit.

                          • Even RichRod didn't lose in Minny.

                            • Yes, I remember losing to Minnesota in the 2004 Music City Bowl early in the Mike Shula debacle. Spencer fucking Pennigton was the Bama QB. Down 4, final minute. He had a TE slip coverage on 4th down and was standing all alone in the endzone waving his arms, Spencer saw him and threw it through the center of the goalposts like he was trying to throw the ball for a FG, which in some twisted way would have made sense, but we were down 4.

                              Spencer fucking Pennigton then quit football.
