Is Winning and Being Likable Mutually Exclusive?

[Volizona]

Funny how your list of "unlikable jerks, sleazy type coaches" consist of rival coaches who have dominated us. I'm not saying you are wrong to feel that way, I've hated all of them in the thick of battle but our view is tainted, as is everyone else's they have dominated.

Probably Meyer would be considered sleazy. The others perhaps more unlikeable more than sleazy. Believe it or not, I softened up on Spurrier over the years and always respected him as a great coach. I actually pulled for him at SC. Amazing that he turned them into a top 10 team a few years there. Spurrier was also funny, even at our expense at times. Saban and Kirby have the personality of a rock.

Pruitt never really started winning games to begin with

I agree though, he came off in press conferences like an illiterate Saban. What he didn't understand is that you can only act like that if you win like Saban.

Saban's a bright boy. Beldar, well, goes without saying.
