I respect both CMS and CDS but come on now. I know the CNS hiring is especially hurting to CDS because it hurt both his son and the Dolphins, which he loves. It also does seem like the media takes every opportunity to rub it in his face though. It is over and done with and well time for CDS get over it and to put it in the past were it belongs. CMS was compensated well and shown the door for not performing up to the Alabama standards. End of argument.
I think alot of CDS's problems is his anger at his own son's stubborness, which ultimately resulted in Saban coming to Alabama.
From what I understand CDS, Kines, Rader, and even Mal Moore tried on several occasions to offer Mike good advice on how to handle certain situations, e.g. play calling by the HC, etc. etc. Instead of considering the advice offered by seasoned championship coaches, Mike ignored it and did things his own way.
As a parent its frustrating and painful to see your child not listen to what you say and then have to watch them suffer the consequences. I beleive that CDS did everything he could to get UA back on track, but Mike just wouldn't listen, and that's what most of his problem is. Just my 2 cents. :BigA:
Edit: I think the ESPN sleaze is just trying to stir up CDS so that he'll badmouth Saban on national tv, thus getting Sportscenter more ratings and inflating their pompous egos. What a bunch of jerks.
