Remembered this article from back in 2009. And -- what's so funny is that, he tells everyone how he does it, yet no one has been able to duplicate it. People act like he's the prize winning chef who shares his recipe but leaves out one special ingredient. But, he tells you how to do it -- whether you choose to listen or not, is your fault, right?

Saban reminded his team that adversity is not something that creates a stumbling block to winning; it is something that should intensify the desire to win and be successful—that the team needed to visualize their goal and overcome the situation with more determination than ever before.
This wasn't a problem in terms of "The Process." It was merely another step in achieving their goals.
Alabama went on to defeat Tennessee that day, 41-17. Saban's attitude played no small part in how his team reacted.
When Alabama lines up to play Virginia Tech in the 2009 Chick-fil-A College Kickoff, the game will already have been played, and every contingency will have already been accounted for in the mental preparations of the players.
So while the media may continue to rant on Saban and how he chooses to do things and the things he says, it's all just a part of his psychological warfare.
It's all just part of "The Process."
