Yep. And I think there is so much about him that folks don't know. We all, Alabama fans and rival fans alike, think we "know" Nick Saban. And our perceptions are ingrained and seemingly unchangeable. But I feel like if we truly knew him, perhaps those perceptions would change. I mean, in just that 3 minute segment, I saw a side of him I hadn't seen before.We are so lucky to have this man coaching our team. RTR.
2008, 2010, 2013 and 2014 teams were all good enough to win it all.Well, I'm assuming that he's talking about at least 3 Alabama teams and maybe the 2002 LSU team (Mauck injury destroyed their season)...maybe all four are from Tuscaloosa?
Bro, 16 more years! That's insanely appealing to meYep. And I think there is so much about him that folks don't know. We all, Alabama fans and rival fans alike, think we "know" Nick Saban.

I'd love it if he could coach 16 more years here at Alabama. I loved his honesty about his feelings about his teams... they've all been capable but some have just fell a bit short. And that drives him to keep coming back for more.
I'm looking forward to seeing the full interview.
The 2009 Oklahoma team is a good example of this. Bradford goes down in the first game against BYU, which OU loses. He tries to come back against UT but gets injured again. OU loses 16-13 giving them 3 losses on the season. The ended up losing to Nebraska and Texas Tech later in the season to finish 8-5 on the year. Outside the 41-13 loss to Tech, OU lost by a combined 12 games.I think the 8 teams good enough quote was accurate. It's just that there's always an element of luck. Any given year how many teams in the country are good enough? It's usually at least three or four right? They just have injuries, bad luck, tough matchups (say Alabama vs. Florida in 2008 and 2009), etc...
