You have a better offseason when
the players
Have a big challenge in the
first game.
And if you play a weak team and
win 45-7,
You don’t know if your team is
really good or
Not good.
- Coach Nick Saban
You play for your team and what
your team can do.
You want your team to dominate
so that they can
Be successful. You really want
to win on your ability
To execute, not on someone
else's inability…
You don't really want anything
bad to happen to the
Other team, you just want your
team to play well.
- Coach Nick Saban
I think class is a real critical
part of any organization.
It’s a word that I see, that
comes up on our board when
We do some of our traditional
stuff here as a part of our
university, as a part of our football tradition.
I think class is an important
part of what we try to do in
Terms of how we represent our
state, our institution,
And I want this program to
always reflect class in how
We go about doing things. We
expect it from the players,
And if we don’t get it, we
certainly do everything we can
To correct it and change their
behavior so that we do get it.
And I think that that should
extend to every part of the
organization. Every part of the organization. I
don’t care if
You are a supporter, or you’re a
fan, or whatever you do,
The way you support the team
should be done with class
As well.
- Coach Nick Saban
