Or as much as you want it to, right Archie?

I'll gladly take the undeserved free good press. Clark isn't trying to be Birmingham's savior, just UAB football's. And if the Bham-Snews wants to help then by the almighty let's help em help us.

They must be really desperate for click-throughs at al.com.

If that were true, they'd have quoted Little Nicky Saban.

When talking about poor leadership? That wouldn't have made a whole lot of sense.

Enough people are googling Jameis Winston this week that I think they knew exactly what they were doing.

I'll try this again. If that were true, they'd have quoted Little Nicky Saban rather than Clark.

While I'm sure al.com did this for hits if you talk to the staff at the football building they'll tell you that's exactly what he is. I heard that phrase more than once used to describe him.

Putting Saban in the headline definitely would have gotten more clicks.

I think the focus was trying to make Bentley and Bell look like they make mistakes like Winston. Stuff like this is why I find it hard to read much of anything on al.com.

Next time Saban comes up with a good tweet, al.com can have at it.
