Look, the way we like for things to get handled, that didnt get handled. We have the best doctors in the world in Dr. (James) Andrews and Dr. (Lyle) Cain who operate on most NFL players and his agent chose to take him someplace else. I think (Andrews and Cain) have tremendous credibility.
So, you know, all these choices and decisions that you make have consequences and I hate it for our players when they do it, but he didnt seek my advice in what he should do. So, if that was an issue, that was an issue. It shouldnt have been an issue but if it was, I dont really know much about it.
The way Saban appears to see it, Foster took some bad advice and did not have the best available medical professions examine him during the pre-draft process. No doubt an odd decision considering Foster remained in contact with the Alabama program and even made an appearance at the teams latest spring game last weekend.
