darin3 Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 They're talking about it on Cold Pizza this morning... saying it's certainly a fireable offense. Saying it is, essentially, on par with "the N-word".... I don't know if I'd take it to THAT extreme... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if he would have coached at Grambling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 lol, I never knew coonass was a slur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Coonass means a white cajun in Louisiana. When I told my wife how everyone was all up in arms about this, she said "what are they, retarded?" She went to LSU, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAYER Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I really don't see the big deal, I am from La and have a few relatives from down the bayou who qualify as coonasses, It doesn't offend them or me. I really think this country is going overboard on some of this racial slur stupidity.but let me shut up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However make no mistake about it, Saban was using it a derogatory manner. He could have easily said, you know one of the uneducated men digging in the ditch.

Rockerbraves Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I dont buy that for a second. Word around here is that Saban embellished the original story told to him by replacing the word SOB with coonass. Granted it made the story more humorous since he coached in Louisiana, but not too sure how many Italians preferred to be called Dago or Russians Pinko. No real offense taken down here. Just some disappointment that Saban would disrespect the very fans who once adored him. I’m pretty sure he regrets his choice of words.
