Fact is, Saban and other coaches shut down access to the point where there's nothing reporters can do to provide content to their readers. Colleges have very strict rules about interviewing athletes, and coaches like Saban designate very short windows. Most reporters that get pissed about guys like Saban are pissed because they're not allowed to do more work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-43562897225389971412007-04-13T09:15:00.000-07:002007-04-13T09:15:00.000-07:00Mandel may have a gripe, but the in-state reporter...Mandel may have a gripe, but the in-state reporters are just pissed cause Saban's very tight-lipped and short with media, which means that they actually have to do some work for their stories.<BR/><BR/>That Moon guy is just crazy. He said that Saban's large salary is due to the media hype. Yep, one MNC and 2 SEC titles in 5 years at LSU (which hadn't won a MNC in 50 years prior to Saban) is all hype.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
