The big story today is Nick Saban pulling a Denn … no, I’m not going there … accepting the Alabama job after repeatedly denying even being interested in it.

In what has to be the talk radio bit of the year, Colin Cowherd on ESPN this morning just played spliced together denials from Saban, who over and over again denied any thought of leaving.

What’s wrong with us as a society when lying, outright, bald-faced lying, by anyone, has become acceptable? And what does it say about our institutions of higher learning they actively recruit instructors (yes, that’s what a coach at college is) who are willing to lie to everyone? These are the people who are supposed to shape our young men and women for the future?
