Drama continues even after Saban leaves South Florida

Although Nick Saban is no longer a part of Florida athletics, he seems to somehow keep himself in our daily news. During a 40 minute meeting with three South Florida newspaper reporters he referred to a Louisiana fan (where he is currently head coach of their University) as one of those "coon-ass guys that talk funny. I can't talk like them, but he can. Most people in Louisiana can." He issued an apology through the University of Alabama. "Combined with the controversy surrounding his departure from the Dolphins, Saban's comments could have an adverse affect on his first recruiting class at Alabama."
