[QUOTE="NovaOrange, post: 115923, member: 369"] Wasn't sure if anyone heard this but this was crazy see the story below [SIZE=13px]According to former NFL fullback and current NFL Network analyst [URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5529/'][COLOR=#046bca][COLOR=#046bca]Heath Evans[/COLOR][/COLOR][/URL][URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5529/news'][SIZE=0px][COLOR=#046bca](notes)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/URL], the worst example of Saban's impersonal approach happened in 2005, when [URL='http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/evans-saban-stepped-over-convulsing-player-29919'][COLOR=#046bca][COLOR=#046bca]he actually stepped over a convulsing player after a practice[/COLOR][/COLOR][/URL]. Evans relayed the story on Miami's 790 The Ticket on Tuesday.[/SIZE] [INDENT][COLOR=#767676] [SIZE=13px]Well, the first day of two-a-days. We had about a three-hour-plus practice in the morning in that south Florida sun. You guys know what it's like down there in late July, early August. And then that night we had another practice under the lights, if I recall I think it was about from 6 to 9.[/SIZE] [SIZE=13px]Jeno James, our best offensive lineman at the time, comes in and collapses after practice, uh, vomiting all kinds of stuff that would make a billygoat puke, eyes rolled in the back of his head. Myself, about four other lineman are trying to carry him from the locker room, to the training room.[/SIZE] [SIZE=13px]Obviously it's a moment of panic, everyone, you know, we don't know if this guy's, you know, gonna die, I mean, the whole deal. But he's so big and sweaty and heavy that we actually have to set him down in the hallway between the locker room and the training room.[/SIZE] [SIZE=13px]Nick Saban literally just starts walking in, steps over Jeno James convulsing, doesn't say a word, doesn't try to help, goes upstairs, I don't know what he does. But then obviously they get Jeno 'trauma-offed' to the hospital.[/SIZE] [SIZE=13px]Saban calls a team meeting about 10:30 that night, comes down and says, 'You know, the captain of the ship can never show fear or indecision, we've always gotta have an answer, and so I had to go upstairs, that's why I walked over Geno like that, I had to collect my thoughts and decide what's best for our team.'[/SIZE] [SIZE=13px]And I'm thinking to myself, I think along with [URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/3968/'][COLOR=#046bca][COLOR=#046bca]Jason Taylor[/COLOR][/COLOR][/URL][URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/3968/news'][SIZE=0px][COLOR=#046bca](notes)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/URL] and [URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/3569/'][COLOR=#046bca][COLOR=#046bca]Zach Thomas[/COLOR][/COLOR][/URL][URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/3569/news'][SIZE=0px][COLOR=#046bca](notes)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/URL] and [URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6549/'][COLOR=#046bca][COLOR=#046bca]Yeremiah Bell[/COLOR][/COLOR][/URL][URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6549/news'][SIZE=0px][COLOR=#046bca](notes)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/URL] and all these other guys going, 'Did he, does he really believe what he's just saying?' He showed no human emotion for one of his best players.[/SIZE] [/COLOR][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
