“One thing I did early on I will never do again is I criticized players,” he said. “In the early ‘80s, I think Alabama was heading toward its first losing season in 25 years. I called the players a bunch of chumps and losers.”“I learned from that, and I stopped,” Finebaum said. “I never again criticized a player individually. It was a great learning experience. Coaches?
