As an audiotape spread on the Internet, Alabama coach Nick Saban acknowledged Wednesday using a phrase considered derogatory to Cajuns but said he doesn't condone such language and merely was repeating something a friend told him.

Saban, a former LSU and Miami Dolphins coach, used an ethnic slur Jan. 3 while telling Florida reporters in Tuscaloosa an anecdote about an LSU fan's angry reaction to his hiring.

More of the story here. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2749952

Looks like Saben might be in some hot water.
 
Since when is coonass a racial slur?

Every Cajun I have ever met has referred to themselves as that.

You are correct. I know if he was a coach in the state of Louisiana it would be no big deal. Now that he is a coach in another state that is in the SEC. Oh my there is going to be alot of mad people!

Mad people he can deal with ....
It's not right, but he's not going to get fired over it, like another Alabana coach did when he went out for some entertainment ...
 
My God!

They have bumper stickers on their cars like the one below. It is actually considered a term of endearment!!!

some African Americans call each other the "N" word. but if someone that isn't calls an African American that, it's considered derogatory.. is this the same?
 
Nick Saban is a back stabbing all out LIER!! And those are his good traits...take ANYTHING he says with a grain of salt.....did I mention he was a coward too??
 
Sounds like sour grapes to me!:p


Nope...because I am NOT a Dolphins fan. I am a Raiders fan....but if there is ONE THING I hate is people who SWEAR and PREACH integrity, but yet they don't have an ounce of it in their body. IF you are being pursued by another team...you don't need to out and out lie...nor do you need to show your hand.....but don't come back and say "how many times do I have to tell you guys, I am NOT INTERESTED in the Alabama coaching spot....did you see how they treated David Shula...? Do you think I want to be a part of that circus ?? So PLEASE, no more questions about the Alabama job....because I DON'T WANT IT....." Then 2 days later, does not have the BALLS to show up for a news conference to say he taking the job....NOBODY is an angel.....the last guy that was died over 2000 years ago....but, PLEASE don't SAY you have integrity and honor and morals....and show completely the opposite. Sports fans are THE most forgiving of people....they have forgiven Pete Rose....they, for the most part have forgiven Mark McGuire...so just tell the truth....or at least NOT LIE....!
 
I ARE a coonass and PROUD of it! You all have my permission to call me one, too. :up

Coonasses that get uptight about it are ashamed of the fact that they ARE coonasses. What they are is dumbasses, IMO. BIG difference. :D

Big deal about nothing. I'm more concerned about Saban's lack of comitment. But even that doesn't matter, I root for LSU. ;)
