@Nunya Business yea you're stupid, "he doesn't care about alabama or the players" thats the dumbest shit i ever heard, nick saban has bust his ass for alabama and all his players says that he is like a father figure for them. You say he's a douche but honestly you're just a sensitive little girl, he's a coach who has a job to do and thats winning there is a reason he is so successful because he doesn't let wins get to his head and actually focuses on the game and how is players can improve. What do you think he should do celebrate whenever his team makes a mistake and say its ok?
The Rubber Band Man: Saban sees a mistake and he corrects it because the next time that player makes that mistake they may be down 10. The score doesn’t matter. Saban sets a standard of play.
The Rubber Band Man. Please understand that Bama didn't play against Louisville. Bama played against themselves where they set the standards. The standards that were set by Bama weren't met in the game. If you understand this then you will understand why "Saban still chewing out the team for a bad block."
And got INCREDIBLY lucky multiple times, ESPECIALLY on the final play that the defense just completely blew coverage on. Everyone needs to pump the brakes on this kid. A kicker came in for the New York Jets once upon a time and was great for one game. Even a blind hog can find an acorn once in a while. On a side note, I can’t wait to watch Fromm/Fields take it all this year
I started paying attention to Tua back in 2016, when I heard about his recruitment. I always followed who we were after at the QB position, but I always kinda didn't like the ones he went after. Blake Simms if recruited as a QB he would have blown the numbers away in 3yrs at Bama ,but he was recruited as a running back. I saw Jalen also, and I was blown away watching him, but ppl forget that High School, and College are on 2 entirely separate levels. But I watched Jalen and watched him over and over. His progression as a passer was shit! And it didn't seem to get any better as the season went on in 2016. 2017 I wanted Tua in the games more,i watched this kid over and over just like Hurts, he has such a natural beautiful pass, and so accurate. Tua is a bit of Jonny Manziel with Marcus Mariota sprinkled with a football knowledge that is remarkable. I have no doubt he wins the heisman, mabe twice.
Y’all are all crazy. Tua might have good numbers, but he’s no better than a lot of excellent quarterbacks in D1 this year. He’s good, but I just don’t see him being this college version of Tebow and Manziel. Jake Fromm is only going to get better, and if anything happens to him, then Justin Fields will take over and he is the real deal Holyfield. Fields will win at LEAST one heisman when he takes over.
@@MetallicAAlabamA bro, Simms was an athlete not a qb. Mad respect for what Simms and Kiffin were able to conjure up that year but out of all of Saban' s qbs, Simms has to be last on that list....maybe ahead of hurts because of his down the field throwing but definitely behind Coker and JP Wilson.
@@doc8013 How can you say that? Simms still holds passing records, and yes Simms was an athlete, but his passing ability puts Hurts to shame. Simms read defenses better than JP did. Macarron was the best decision maker Bama has had, and you damn right,mad respect for Simms and Kiffin, still don't change the fact Jalen isn't a sufficient passer. Jalen can't convert 3rd downs on a consistent basis.
The D let emotions take over and it give them 14 points. Most bad plays are fixable, busted coverage killed us, oline was little soft at times but it may have just been the formations. Petrino had a lot of time to prepare and he's good at what he does. All in all I'd rate the team performance a B-. That being said, my opinion doesn't mean shit to anyone, so I'll just trust coach, lol.
Don't think that when this man is alone in his mansion in his crimson and 24k gold robe he is not smiling from ear to ear looking at his trophies and awards .......# king Nick
They usually have the best defense, best offensive line and receivers, best stable of running backs. Now, they probably have the best duel threat QB. Its just not fair, my LSU Tigers are f****d again.
I want Mac Jones to get more reps, he needs to be the backup. Without hardly making a pass he led them down a 74 yard drive on his first time out there.
I think he sets an example for other coaches... Reporters ask questions with agendas... Espn pumps up players and coaches then pounces to tear them down until they are fired or forced off the team.. Then the reporters just move on to the next victim ... Ratings... Im not a Bama fan... But you can see how the press treats this team sometimes .. Yet look at the record..

The Crimson Tide looked STRONG from the very beginning. I think they got a bit lazy and sloppy after they got the big lead, but overall this game was pretty IMPRESSIVE. :-)
Anyone notice how the scoring stopped once Jalen Hurts entered the game? And they barely let Mac Jones throw the ball...... like come on this kid needs reps in a live game. You do not want Jalen Hurts at backup QB in a big game if Tua goes down. All that kid can do is screen passes, throw wounded ducks, and QB sneaks like that's literally it.
@barry walker You are the fucking moron here, he is saying this because Saban still wants to pretend as if there is still a QB battle, which is REDICULOUS. Jalen is NOT a quarterback. At this point he is only hurting the team by limiting Tuas game time and progression which is critical down the road. Stop being a sensitive BITCH.
@barry walker he's not downing jalen he's just speaking the obvious Truth. Jalen is not a QB. and Mac Jones does need more real time experience to backup Tua.
"Give him a break everyone makes mistakes...…………… now lets all try to get Urban Meyer fired for no reason so we never have to play him again!" hahahahah
S.O.S Network winners don’t make comments like that, that’s a comment who would also say something like “our team went 7-5, so we didn’t do too bad this season”....nope, not if you practice and play to a level of excellence that has a team with championship as the goal for season.
Jalen has been nothing but a clsss act for my Alabama. He is the best backup in the country. Anyone who is trash talking or disrespectful of him is not a true Alabama fan. They are just internet trolls. Roll Tide
My old high school coach told us after practice one day that a team will never be a champion as long as they are satisfied with what they have accomplished. If they cant see the need for improvement even after winning big then they'll never be champions. I think he coached Nick Saban...…...
All new coordinators (offense, defense, special teams) did a great job. The players were well prepared and overall did amazing! So many special players (Tua Jeudy Jacobs Waddle Thompson Carter). I know I’m missing a few other honorable mentions. Can’t wait for SEC play to start. It’s about to get reeaallll ugly in these streets.
It's week 1 with almost an entirely new position group. These guys stuck to their man all night, so athletically they're all fantastic. Just need to keep working. Ole Miss will be a great test for them.
I think Hurts is mentally fried, which is to be expected from all that has happened. He was playing tentative and then pressing trying not to throw picks. And then there were those times when he did not see the open man, tucked the ball and ran. He might be impressive on another team but Tua raised the bar and took his job. He knows he MIGHT make it to the NFL but will most likely be a backup QB the rest of his life.
Today's Hike, "playing tentative and then pressing trying not to throw picks. And then those times when he didn't see the open man, tucked the ball and ran" is usually the way Jalen plays...
Today's Hike. Did you watch any Bama games in 2016 and 2017? In 2017 that is how Jalen played in most of his games. Jalen's accuracy passing the ball is the least of his performance problems. Jalen is a one read run quarterback who doesn't go through his progression. If his primary receiver is covered up Jalen would tuck the ball and run toward the sidelines. Also Jalen can't consistently throw in tight windows. He Couldn't throw with anticipation based on when receivers would break on the ball. And Jalen's mental processing speed was too slow to read decent defenses. Its sound like you are making excuses for Jalen when he played the same way in 2017.
I like how he said you can’t let a team off after stopping them on 3rd down especially if you do it against a good team . I am guessing he is not referring to Louisville
Tua killed these guys , hurts wouldn’t mind being the backup because he have good character and humble. But he become a 3rd stringer I wouldn’t blame him if he leaves
Jalen is a good QB but he doesn’t fit our system. If he was in non power 5 or pac10 he would be probably the best QB in that league, I just don’t think he’s SeC material. With that being said he will most definitely transfer come December when he graduates. I’ve been saying all along he should transfer to FAU 😂
Notice there is a long pause between questions when Nick warns the reporters he's pissed. They are like a bunch of kindergarteners. You can't blame him. They for the most part ask adolescent questions anyway.
Why do the 70yd. FG kickers bail out and we get stuck with the shanking ass kickers? I am tired of looking at these deer in the headlights kickers that shank a 10yd. extra point. Tua saved Pappanastos life in the championship game.
Jalen scored a TD throw but it got called back due a penalty by another player... he did better than his numbers show but Saban's only got one starter position for QB. Jalen's still relevant to Alabama's offense for sure.
Saban uses media to send messages to his players to move his team in a certain direction. He knew they was gonna lead with the qb question post game. He knows the players love Maria Taylor. He aint baking cookies. He aint a saint. Hes a dang good coach though who has become a master motivator in the social media age. Who else does it better through the media?
Bama is really the standard I'm sure teams fear this team... I just wish it was like those Miami years that they produced great pros Saban might kill his players before they get to the league
Basically Saban is saying "I need 2 quality QB's during this long season and if I stop playing Hurt he'll transfer. If Tua get's hurt and I don't have a quality backup it'll be a hell of a lot harder to repeat".
Because complacency doesn't work when everyone else in the country is trying to knock you off your throne. Even when you are #1, you must improve or you will die.
Devonta Smith had zero games with more than one catch with Hurts at QB. Tua knows how to use the weapons at his disposal. He distributes the ball instead of only using that one receiver like Hurts does. These receivers are loving Tua, regardless of what they say to the media. This team takes two steps back when Hurts comes in. This is Tuas team now. I love Hurts as a person but this isn't about personality.
lmao and Alabama played LOUISVILLE. woopdy-do. Alabama plays a joke and drops 51 on them and gets 14 laid on them, OSU plays a joke and drops 77 on them and gets 31 laid on them. so in what way exactly does Alabama have a better game there? hahaha. Carol Easter, this is just insecure Bama fans who are still scared of OSU. I might be an OSU fan but please just try to overlook them.
www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/sec-strength-of-schedule-rankings-2018-georgia-has-it-easy-while-alabama-faces-challenges/ says differently. Auburn has an easier schedule than Alabama period.
@@oeheaven WHAT???? The only rank team you play is Auburn Mississippi state and LSU probably won't be ranked by time you play them! Auburn plays Washington and Georgia and Alabama that's at least 3. That's some bullshit 😂😂😂
AU does have a tougher schedule. But Alabama can't play themselves. Saying Auburn's schedule is harder because they play Alabama is kind of ridiculous when they're both in the SEC West.
pahtna, this isn't 5 years ago. everything you're saying right there pertains to the SEC these days, not the B1G from 5 years ago lmao got to stop living in the past. because to call the conference that's ended the past 4 years with more teams in the top 10 than any other conference is preeeeeeeetty stupid. and that's FINAL polls, after an entire season and you actually know how teams play, and not the SEC's primetime to be in the top of the polls; the PRESEASON when nobody actually knows how good a team is lmao that's why the SEC usually begins every season with tons of teams in the top 25, because they're randomly placed there every preseason for no reason, but usually ends the season with about 3-4 teams in the entire top 25 hahahaha
Tua is good! Hurts might want to find another team. He would start for alot teams. His career could continue to grow. Tua is the quarterback for Alabama.
Bama might outright win the national title the next three years, maybe the next five, Tua's younger brother is just like him, a little taller, faster, and getting better with his accuracy. Any young HS # 1 prospect whether defense or receiver will love to be with Alabama, thisis just the beginning, Tua is only a SO, he is smart so a possibility he might play until he isa senior. An NFL team the following year , 0-16 might not be so bad, build your O-line, defense,draft some receivers next year, and wait for the "Savior from Samoa!"
Everyone just hopping on Tua bandwagon are shameful. Lol This man was nice in High School as well. I've said before and will again Jalen needs a dedicated QB coach and Lane left. Tua is a better all around QB, but Jalen is a decent back up.
I don't dislike Alabama and I know they are gonna probably slaughter us this year but any thing can happen in cfb and I'm a Tennessee fan for life and I think we need a coach like Nick saban and maybe we have one in Jeremy Pruitt but we'll see go vols can't wait to see what happens in the Alabama Tennessee game bc no matter the out come Alabama and Tennessee always have an exciting game.
what was the question BEFORE the game started? how did Nick respond? Kinda let you know he was done with questioning him and his program. Last question, same topic. yeah...i would be pissed as well. this man is at a level few understand, but cheer when they get that green light driving...nick wins by 50 and still thinks critically. you want success at this level...well, this is the cost!
THIS IS WHY I LOVE NICK . TO ME THE SEASON IS ONE BIG GAME. YOU CAN NEVER TAKE IT EASY. THE TIDE DID SOME DUMB STUFF IN THE GAME. AGAINST A GREAT TEAM THIS COULD BITE THEM IN THEIR ASS.
I live just outside of Louisville and the couple of weeks leading up to the game and their fanboy call-in shows grew more and more ridiculous. Those people have very short memories... they've completely underestimated the sheer number of times Lamar Jackson bailed them out....hell, they weren't that good with him to begin with.... thanks bama!.... the call in shows should be comedy gold this coming week!

5:40 The difference between Hurst and Tua in a nutshell, Hurst should that one thing or his quarterback career is over. In the side line photos Hurst wrinkled forehead told me all I needed to know, he saw Tua walk right pass him. Thank you Hurst for all the great bama football, Roll Tide!
Alabama had more mental errors than any team I saw play.....didn't look like a Saban coached team at all...first game need to fix these issues fast....
I hope we can see bama play Oklahoma again. But i know there's Lots of great teams this year so it's probably not going to happen. Very arrogant press conference from Nick. Unbecoming and bad example for our younger people. I'm disappointed.
Omg our defense look like crap they got to clean it up like really fast .when they go up against a good offense they will score on them every time they get the ball . They sure couldn't run up the middle because our boys look like some one call them to dinner. Louisville took it to both outsides and run the ball down our throat. No way you will get passed a good team like that. The offence was ok I'm sure they will get better with playtime. THERE FAR FROM BEING ON A ROLL!!..
Yeah they got every call on the field as well. All Louisville had to do is look at the quarter back and get a roughing call. Interference that was not there and a myriad of other bad calls. We kne Alabama would win but this?
Louisville Had A Missed Facemask That Was Actually Called On One Of Our Players During The Same Play And A Missed Chop Block On Quinnen Williams But Yeah You'll Skip Right Over That Cause It Dosent Fit Your Biased Narrative.
Coarch Saban's left hand really concerns me...Where are his fingernails? I knew a dude in the Corps that chewed his nails to the quick, YIKES! Quit eating your fingernails coach!
I don't think nick will be the coach for to many more years... Not because he will start losing but because he looks burned out... I figure he will retire in the next couple years but I could be wrong...
senglish1983 yes, you probably are wrong. Same ole same ole... What is the guy doing wrong??? He's just getting better every year. He's phenomenal. I think he just loves the game and doing it right.
oh Nick Saban issued an apology to the reporter but I don't feel it was heartfelt enough, he didn't REALLY mean it... so Nick Saban should have his entire life and career ruined. it's only fair, seeing as how that's the norm at ESPN when they're horrifically jilted by a big college football coach and they act like a girlfriend who's been cheated on or something.

Today's Hike. Did you watch any Bama games in 2016 and 2017? In 2017 that is how Jalen played in most of his games. Jalen's accuracy passing the ball is the least of his performance problems. Jalen is a one read run quarterback who doesn't go through his progression. If his primary receiver is covered up Jalen would tuck the ball and run toward the sidelines.
Also Jalen can't consistently throw in tight windows. He Couldn't throw with anticipation based on when receivers would break on the ball. And Jalen's mental processing speed was too slow to read decent defenses. Its sound like you are making excuses for Jalen when he played the same way in 2017.
He MIGHT make it to the NFL if he changes positions. I wish him well, but I'd hate to see wasted talent because he refuses to try another position.
When Coach is real testy after the first game then the season is looking exceptionally good.
This team could be possibly one of the Best Tide squads ever as they gain experience, certainly one of the fastest I’ve seen. Offense and Defense .
Truly enjoyed it. :D
I like how he said you can’t let a team off after stopping them on 3rd down especially if you do it against a good team . I am guessing he is not referring to Louisville
Tua killed these guys , hurts wouldn’t mind being the backup because he have good character and humble. But he become a 3rd stringer I wouldn’t blame him if he leaves
Michael He Full Of SHIT!!
Jalen is a good QB but he doesn’t fit our system.
If he was in non power 5 or pac10 he would be probably the best QB in that league, I just don’t think he’s SeC material.
With that being said he will most definitely transfer come December when he graduates.
I’ve been saying all along he should transfer to FAU 😂
Michael Jalen does mind and he will transfer just watch.
Best Secondary in the country
Danny Tate ikr
Ol Saint Nick 🎅 how could u not give this man his credit. My 🧢 off to you Coach Saban
The media is so classless for hounding him on the quarterback situation. I would just say..."no comment"
I would say, "My answer hasn't changed since the last time you or anyone else asked that question."
Saban is so savage. Even the reporters seem scared of him haha
Reporter: "What did you see in from and especially on special teams..."
Coach: "I think I seen the same things you did!"
😂🤣😂🤣 Go Coach Go!
Notice there is a long pause between questions when Nick warns the reporters he's pissed. They are like a bunch of kindergarteners.
You can't blame him. They for the most part ask adolescent questions anyway.
Why do the 70yd. FG kickers bail out and we get stuck with the shanking ass kickers? I am tired of looking at these deer in the headlights kickers that shank a 10yd. extra point. Tua saved Pappanastos life in the championship game.
Jalen scored a TD throw but it got called back due a penalty by another player... he did better than his numbers show but Saban's only got one starter position for QB. Jalen's still relevant to Alabama's offense for sure.
Saban uses media to send messages to his players to move his team in a certain direction. He knew they was gonna lead with the qb question post game. He knows the players love Maria Taylor. He aint baking cookies. He aint a saint. Hes a dang good coach though who has become a master motivator in the social media age. Who else does it better through the media?
There is something to be said for accepting nothing less than perfection.
Bama is really the standard I'm sure teams fear this team... I just wish it was like those Miami years that they produced great pros Saban might kill his players before they get to the league
agree.
Ok let’s be honest what other program would Jaylen have went 26-2 with being the starter???
I love when he does this, we got the hammer down, here comes bama. Roll Tide!
Basically Saban is saying "I need 2 quality QB's during this long season and if I stop playing Hurt he'll transfer. If Tua get's hurt and I don't have a quality backup it'll be a hell of a lot harder to repeat".
Why does nick sound upset your the number #1 team every year and you have so many national titles.
because he's an asshole. not a bad coach, just a shitty human being.
Because complacency doesn't work when everyone else in the country is trying to knock you off your throne. Even when you are #1, you must improve or you will die.
Is Jalen able to see? I mean is his vision ok?
"Be Careful" I love it.
I have been a Nick Saban fan, but there is no excuse for being rude.
Alot of stuff to be unhappy about last night we let up at the end of the first quarter lmfao...
Devonta Smith had zero games with more than one catch with Hurts at QB. Tua knows how to use the weapons at his disposal. He distributes the ball instead of only using that one receiver like Hurts does. These receivers are loving Tua, regardless of what they say to the media. This team takes two steps back when Hurts comes in. This is Tuas team now. I love Hurts as a person but this isn't about personality.
Damn he said if we do that against a good team we'll be in trouble
Alabama is going to be fine,Ohio State is the team to be looking at through the season.
Dude they played Oregon State... That's not competition at all..
They got torched by Oregon States offense lmaoooooo
@@inferno3080 I know just trying to give them some kudos
@@Confecting you know they put in alot of backups in the second half? Hopefully OSU plays Bama in the playoffs and shuts them up again.
lmao and Alabama played LOUISVILLE. woopdy-do. Alabama plays a joke and drops 51 on them and gets 14 laid on them, OSU plays a joke and drops 77 on them and gets 31 laid on them. so in what way exactly does Alabama have a better game there? hahaha. Carol Easter, this is just insecure Bama fans who are still scared of OSU. I might be an OSU fan but please just try to overlook them.
Challenge??? Their schedule is nothing but high school teams except for Auburn they have no excuse but to go undefeated
www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/sec-strength-of-schedule-rankings-2018-georgia-has-it-easy-while-alabama-faces-challenges/ says differently. Auburn has an easier schedule than Alabama period.
@@oeheaven WHAT???? The only rank team you play is Auburn Mississippi state and LSU probably won't be ranked by time you play them! Auburn plays Washington and Georgia and Alabama that's at least 3. That's some bullshit 😂😂😂
AU does have a tougher schedule. But Alabama can't play themselves. Saying Auburn's schedule is harder because they play Alabama is kind of ridiculous when they're both in the SEC West.
hahaha so Alabama can be excused for having such a soft schedule because.... they cant play themselves.
pahtna, this isn't 5 years ago. everything you're saying right there pertains to the SEC these days, not the B1G from 5 years ago lmao got to stop living in the past. because to call the conference that's ended the past 4 years with more teams in the top 10 than any other conference is preeeeeeeetty stupid. and that's FINAL polls, after an entire season and you actually know how teams play, and not the SEC's primetime to be in the top of the polls; the PRESEASON when nobody actually knows how good a team is lmao that's why the SEC usually begins every season with tons of teams in the top 25, because they're randomly placed there every preseason for no reason, but usually ends the season with about 3-4 teams in the entire top 25 hahahaha
Saban is the college G.O.A.T. He's a force of nature who forges champions. He hates bullshit questions as much as I do.
No questions about the running game?....or lack of one?
due mainly to a couple of big plays, nothing cosistent
whoever blocked dude in the back bout to get it on monday
Tua is good! Hurts might want to find another team. He would start for alot teams. His career could continue to grow. Tua is the quarterback for Alabama.
A lot of players at Alabama played in the 3rd and 4th quarter against a supposedly good Louisville team.
Bama might outright win the national title the next three years, maybe the next five, Tua's younger brother is just like him, a little taller, faster, and getting better with his accuracy. Any young HS # 1 prospect whether defense or receiver will love to be with Alabama, thisis just the beginning, Tua is only a SO, he is smart so a possibility he might play until he isa senior. An NFL team the following year , 0-16 might not be so bad, build your O-line, defense,draft some receivers next year, and wait for the "Savior from Samoa!"
Everyone just hopping on Tua bandwagon are shameful. Lol This man was nice in High School as well. I've said before and will again Jalen needs a dedicated QB coach and Lane left. Tua is a better all around QB, but Jalen is a decent back up.
I don't dislike Alabama and I know they are gonna probably slaughter us this year but any thing can happen in cfb and I'm a Tennessee fan for life and I think we need a coach like Nick saban and maybe we have one in Jeremy Pruitt but we'll see go vols can't wait to see what happens in the Alabama Tennessee game bc no matter the out come Alabama and Tennessee always have an exciting game.
Louisville defense was awful. The recievers Tua was throwing to were wide open most of the time.
Many of those same receivers were also wide open against Georgia. In the second half of that game the QB got the ball to them in stride.
I am a Louisville fan but that is one thing that we have to work on is DEFENSE!
At least Nick warned them that he was pissed!!!
Their schedule is so easy they make auburn look like the number 1 team
what was the question BEFORE the game started? how did Nick respond? Kinda let you know he was done with questioning him and his program. Last question, same topic. yeah...i would be pissed as well. this man is at a level few understand, but cheer when they get that green light driving...nick wins by 50 and still thinks critically. you want success at this level...well, this is the cost!
THIS IS WHY I LOVE NICK . TO ME THE SEASON IS ONE BIG GAME. YOU CAN NEVER TAKE IT EASY. THE TIDE DID SOME DUMB STUFF IN THE GAME. AGAINST A GREAT TEAM THIS COULD BITE THEM IN THEIR ASS.
I live just outside of Louisville and the couple of weeks leading up to the game and their fanboy call-in shows grew more and more ridiculous. Those people have very short memories... they've completely underestimated the sheer number of times Lamar Jackson bailed them out....hell, they weren't that good with him to begin with.... thanks bama!.... the call in shows should be comedy gold this coming week!

Why he didn’t go off on them like he did María our dawgs going to remember this when we meet ya go dawgs
We beat the d4wg crap out of your team in the natty, you don’t got enough? And now with Tua you ain’t go no chance fucking d4wgz.
This was actually Michigan they somehow got lost on the bus and ended up in Alabama
Nick is always so gracious with the press.
Seems so happy with the questions asked.
Press would be better off playing with a den of cobras!
Yeah coach
5:40 The difference between Hurst and Tua in a nutshell, Hurst should that one thing or his quarterback career is over. In the side line photos Hurst wrinkled forehead told me all I needed to know, he saw Tua walk right pass him. Thank you Hurst for all the great bama football, Roll Tide!
And they say he can't coach...
This is why they win titles every year
Alabama had more mental errors than any team I saw play.....didn't look like a Saban coached team at all...first game need to fix these issues fast....
He watches *tv's*
He wanted Petrino fired so he poured it on. I think Petrino is the only coach Saban would bury on purpose. Maybe Les Miles half jokingly.
I Want Alabama To Win 65 - 0 I Want For
I think Auburn had more penalty than anyone did.
ROLL TIDE!!!!
ROLL TIDE ROLL RIGHT DOWN TO ATLANTA!!
I hope we can see bama play Oklahoma again. But i know there's Lots of great teams this year so it's probably not going to happen. Very arrogant press conference from Nick. Unbecoming and bad example for our younger people. I'm disappointed.
Tua should be full time. Hurts is a good dude but .....that’s bidness!
Omg our defense look like crap they got to clean it up like really fast .when they go up against a good offense they will score on them every time they get the ball . They sure couldn't run up the middle because our boys look like some one call them to dinner. Louisville took it to both outsides and run the ball down our throat. No way you will get passed a good team like that. The offence was ok I'm sure they will get better with playtime. THERE FAR FROM BEING ON A ROLL!!..
I think this chick is going to sue Saban for harressment and embaressing her....
Yeah they got every call on the field as well. All Louisville had to do is look at the quarter back and get a roughing call. Interference that was not there and a myriad of other bad calls. We kne Alabama would win but this?
Louisville Had A Missed Facemask That Was Actually Called On One Of Our Players During The Same Play And A Missed Chop Block On Quinnen Williams But Yeah You'll Skip Right Over That Cause It Dosent Fit Your Biased Narrative.
What you need to fix is your attitude,the way you treated that reporter coming off the field was way out of line,your pitiful.
So... what's all the fuss about?
did he say Hurts made some good throws? Wow! I missed that.
Good game tide probably another chip if not u gotta go through them
I’M A OLE MISS FAN YALL HOTTY TOTTY
Lol. Barely beat Texas Tech and still talkin trash to the big boyz
Well, nobody's perfect.
Sorry to hear that.
@@ryankuykendall8303
LSU wins NC
Coarch Saban's left hand really concerns me...Where are his fingernails? I knew a dude in the Corps that chewed his nails to the quick, YIKES! Quit eating your fingernails coach!
Sure was nice watching Clemson beat the red out of the crimson necks. 🤭
I don't think nick will be the coach for to many more years... Not because he will start losing but because he looks burned out... I figure he will retire in the next couple years but I could be wrong...
senglish1983 yes, you probably are wrong. Same ole same ole... What is the guy doing wrong??? He's just getting better every year. He's phenomenal. I think he just loves the game and doing it right.
Roll Tide!!!
oh Nick Saban issued an apology to the reporter but I don't feel it was heartfelt enough, he didn't REALLY mean it... so Nick Saban should have his entire life and career ruined. it's only fair, seeing as how that's the norm at ESPN when they're horrifically jilted by a big college football coach and they act like a girlfriend who's been cheated on or something.
