per ESPN:

A Florida assistant has become the latest SEC coach to compare Nick Saban to the devil.

Tim Davis, the Gators' offensive line coach, made the remarks about Saban while comparing him to Florida coach Will Muschamp during a booster club meeting Tuesday.

Davis and Muschamp both worked as assistants under Saban with the NFL's Miami Dolphins. In an attempt to compliment Muschamp, Davis likened the Gators' offensive approach to that of Saban, who has led Alabama to consecutive BCS championships.

"I've always wanted to work with Will [Muschamp]," Davis said. "Will's got a plan. Will coached under the devil himself for seven years. I only did three. He did seven. And his DNA is not any different than Nick."

Poorly written title to a poorly written article poorly analyzed. The expression "devil himself" simply means a like comparison. It is neither a compliment nor a criticism. If anything, he was complimenting both men.

highwayman, how about you head over the the Strib site and rip them too, since they are using the same type of headline.

Someone might want to actually say "Thank you" to Bleed for aggregating so much information on this site. I appreciate it. The petty nit-picking here keeps me away quite a bit.

I took it as the headline of the article, not the thread.

In either case, I don't think it's a big deal. He said Muschamp is cut from the same cloth as Saban. Didn't realize Nicky was so sensitive.
