I love Coach Saban but sometimes it's like he doesn't listen to the question and just already has a prefabbed answer ready to go. He did it at the end of the Arkansas game the reporter asked a fine question and he jumped her like she'd asked a different question. He was very testy yesterday with questions that didn't seem very controversial to me.
You could just as easily say yeah we are going to try to work some plays with him and then not do it. In that way you could use the media to deceive the other team. It was obvious yesterday was one of those press conferences he just kind of wanted to be a jerk.
A lot of it is because he's been asked the same question, ten times in a span of three days by reporters who are in the same room that the question has already been asked. There were questions asked multiple times in the same postgame press conference after the game Saturday.
Coaches get tired of that because, one, it is a waste of time, and two, an insult to their intelligence. All the people in that room are adults, if a reporter on the front row asked a question then does it really need to be asked two more times by two more reporters who literally just heard the question asked? Why not, cross off that question on the list and move to one that hasn't been asked? Isn't that a reasonable thing to do for people who are supposed to be educated, rather than three reporters literally asking the same question, three times in the same press conference?
