Following the arrests of Alabama football players Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones involving potential marijuana possession and illegal weapons charges, the prosecutor decided not to indict on the case.

After trading shots with Paul Finebaum live at SEC Media Days while debating his handling of the issue, head coach Nick Saban reportedly couldn't help but take a quick shot at Lousiana, via AL.com:
"Within earshot of media, Saban launched into a four-letter tirade directed at Finebaum. In it, he used his fingers to note the small amount of marijuana found in the car and insinuated the arresting officers were disgruntled LSU fans."

After the interview was over, Finebaum hinted that there were even more fireworks after the interview went off the air, and that Saban is not happy with what has happened.
"Our obligation is to the audience and we learned a great deal and I'm very interested in the anger we saw on the air and the incredible anger we saw off the air. I realize people will be "Well, tell us what happened," but if there was a video of what Coach Saban said to me and to all of us in the 2 or 3 minutes after that interview, it would go viral on the internet with 14 million hits.
I've seen him in a lot of situation, on a non-football related issue and on the field, I mean, it's as upset and as angry — and it wasn't at me — it was anger at the system and what he thinks his players went through about Louisiana. "
Finebaum has gone on the record several times in bashing the handling of this case, so it is no surprise that he was the one that stepped up to the plate to ask Saban about there being no suspensions for the two. It is also no surprise that the two got a little heated when discussing the topic, as both men will definitely stand up for what they believe.

It doesn't sound like Saban took too kindly to being put under fire and it definitely seems like he is extremely upset about the whole situation. Thanks to Finebaum, we got some answers in the case and we learned something.
