His mother's behavior is very sad....
So the mother of Landon Collins says that Nick Saban offered a job to the sweetheart of Louisiana’s best player in order to secure his name on a grant in aid. I want all of you to mark this down in your daily planner. This Friday, at around noonish, I’m going to be crowned the King of Moldavia and it is my sincerest desire for ya’ll to come over for the coronation, and of course, the traditional Moldavian kegger which follows. I realize that Moldavia is a bit out of the way and the for those that attend you will be offered a job. It might the guardian of crown jewels, the prime minister, or the all important keeper of the keg.
Don’t you just hate it when all your efforts to manipulate your son into staying in state so you yourself can reap the benefits of his birth? I don’t know what LSU or some corn dog baron might have promised the mother of young Landon to get him to stay, but a position of fashion consultant and how to dress for success is out of the question. The darn problem with children is they grow up. They didn’t ask to be born, and essentially all they owe any of us parents is some love and respect. Seriously, what type of mother would try to coerce her son into staying in Louisiana to play football at LSU and try to implicate her future daughter in law in some nefarious scheme to lure her son to Alabama based on a job offer? What kind of job would that be? How about Dean of Women? Or perhaps a loan officer at the Bryant Bank? I don’t know this young women but if she is like most incoming freshman she needs to concentrate on her school work, and work study jobs abound. Mama, don’t let you your son grow up to be a Tider. Let him be a Tiger, or corndogs, and grifters and such.
If my mama, God rest her soul, did something like this women is trying to do I’d would have dropped dead. The real question is why would this young man want to stay around such a person who apparently is confused about the role of mother? Oh wait, he doesn’t. I’m not saying in any form or fashion that this women doesn’t love her son. I am saying that if you asked her to draw a picture of the solar system she’d have to paste her photo where the sun would be. It seems that Mama who isn’t even raising son has the young man confused with a lotto ticket.
This might be her chance to cash in, and she is going to strike out. I tip my hat to the young man for even allowing her mother to be present at his announcement. This isn’t about her. It is about Landon. What she did then, and is doing now is sad. I think of any recruit that Nick Saban has recruited this is the one young man who needs him most of all. There is being selfish,and then there is being insane. What kind of person would second guess her son’s decision in public? Manipulative, selfish, but most of all misguided and sad. I can’t be mad at his mother. She is the type of person that Buddha would say the wheel of her life is wobbling. More than anything all of us need to keep Landon Collins in our hearts, in our minds, and in our prayers that his mother express her love and not her own wishes. You think that the Landon’s girlfriend is getting something out of this? I don’t. Nick Saban is beyond reproach. The only thing he needs to offer Collins is his skill in developing players to become multi-millionaires if they have the talent. By all accounts this young man might well do that. You know what? Even after all of this embarrassing behavior by his mother he’ll still take care of her. That’s because this kid has class. He and Alabama are good fits. We are gaining much more than just a player.
