"He never lied to me; that's the one thing I've always respected about coach Saban," Cooper said. "Some coaches will look at you and tell you that we're going to play you here or here on the first day of practice. He looks at you and says you've got to earn it. To me, as a player, that's all you can ask for. Because in the end, it's up to you."

Exactly..Coach Saban's approach attracts players that wants to earn his way to the field & not handed to him..That's what creates a championship program..Gotta love "The Process"..
