-- Nick Saban day after beating Clemson
He's absolutely right. Circumstances in the society have changed since Saban's playing days. A lot of these young men need someone to value them as an individual so they can realize their potential.
I owe it to the people to have a signature...so here goes nothing!
Great example of why he is the GOAT!
I wish we had the entire video of his comments.
Just so true. The whole speech is probably on YouTube

Nick Saban on differences in teams.I don’t think our coaches spent enough time building relationships with the people on the team. its the Biggest difference in our team.
Probably a big reason for so many coaching changes.

Wow...a lot to digest here...
First...stressing the importance of individual relationships...knocks it out of the park with me!!! And I love that he tied it into the church environment, because that’s where I can connect the dots on a personal level.
Second...the correlation between broken families and father figures (or even simply role models) and the respect requested/given in these coach/player relationships, is a dynamic that lesser men won’t embrace...or at most, will simply give lip-service to.
Third...coaches on the staff who wouldn’t take the time (or see the value) to develop personal relationships with our players, is the dynamic that we’ve all been striving to find...to justify and explain the coaching turnover that we’re watching unfold right now.
Fourth...Coach’s sweater against that backdrop made me dizzy...and almost caused me to have a seizure 🤔😲🤭

He could really package up this general message and give it to the city and county school systems and it would serve that audience just as well.

The video is from 5 years ago..
It said May, 2018. Regardless, it still applies.

Rollbamaroll.com reported this video was being mentioned in many places as talking about the 2018 team but they said it was from 2014 as CrimsonForce points out.
Right, but it wasn't a reference to coaching changes this year. The reasons may be similar but it's a little misleading to say that video is why coaching changes were made after the 2018 season when the video is from 2014..
