As a Georgia fan, I wish we played Alabama every year. I wish we did what Saban is talking about here - playing as many strong teams every years as possible. It only makes sense. And no, I don't think we can beat them every year, but I'd at least like to get a chance. Good football = fun football.
@@cortneytyson4555 we were in the shade of U3 section M row 16. I don't do well with the heat. It wasn't that bad. My nephew is a Tuscaloosa fireman. My husband went to get water and saw him taking a fan down from the endzone on a stretcher. Lots of heat related emergencies with fans during the game yesterday. A friend told me the Bama doctor had our players hose down (wet) from the shoulder pads down yesterday. To help keep them cool during the game. Imagine being in the band. With those heavy uniforms on sitting in the sun. Ouch!
It was terrible with the heat. I love the team and coach Saban. But he can’t expected the fans to stand through that heat for the whole game. My 5yr old and 10 yr old did their best. We made it through the first half. I’ve never been that hot before. As we were leaving people were sitting and trying to get cooled off. Some looked physically ill. Several needed paramedics. I’m super impressed with the team and their performance.
Caleb Simpson same here. Been a fan all my life and have tiger blood running through generations of my family, but Saban is well spoken here, but that being said, God rewards Dabo for thanking him and influencing the young athletes to believe in him 👍
I think they do it on purpose to get a reaction out of him. That's the only thing I can see. Because when they asked stupid questions they know sabean will jump all over it
He’s smart enough to know all that sugar eats up your liver, gall bladder, heart and arteries and wears out your pancreas and feeds cancer cells. He ain’t drinking that thing hot or cold
@@tannertuner Damn I sure do miss the good old days when people could just eat and drink what they like without getting a chemical breakdown analysis on everything that will kill us in it, and I don't even like cah-cah cola, I'm a pepsi kind of guy, I still say tomorrow is never promised so eat and drink what you like. The human body is a piece of decaying organic matter, it's not built to last.
Paul Allen it’s a pretty good philosophy until they tell you you’ve got cancer. Then you ask yourself, “how could this happen?” 40 years of eating whatever you want
Mary Johnson actually i wouldve loved to be at alabama but im in medical assisting school which is what i can afford especially being pregnant and due in january you bitch your the bully . if i was in the student section i would’ve stayed the whole game . ive never been 🤷🏽♀️
I love him. I used to hate him and Alabama. Then I watched a bunch of his pressers, speeches, and feature pieces, and the guy just makes sense. I now root for Alabama. I am from Boston. So no geographical relation. But I like him a lot. I would encourage people to watch his speech on Leadership. Amazing! That was what won me over. Go Patriots and Antonio Brown BABYYYYYYY. Lets go Tide, Lets go Pats. One more thing, people say he and Belichick are similar, but they have a totally different way of handling the press. I imagine they are similar behind the scenes. But Saban talks way more.
Similar does not the same. They are similar in the sense that they both handle the idiots of the press who are a disgrace to their profession. Yes, Bill is different but he is a master with these so called journalists as is Nick. Remember, similar isn't the same.
They should do a game where they get the best players in the country from non-power 5 conferences and have them play a game vs Alabama. That would be interesting
Five National Championships, untold countless records broken and set by Coach Saban and the media wants to ask questions about the student section and why some left the game before the clock ran out to 0. Why don’t you realize you are addressing a Living Legend that is making history ? You people are talking to the very best coach alive in college football. Is it too hard to ask Coach questions pertaining to football, his success, his coaching methods, his countless hours he spends trying to help players with personal issues, his private time that he uses to raise money for underprivileged children ? The list of his accomplishments and endeavors goes on and on. If you want to earn Coach Saban’s respect, get on his good side, and get him to open up to being interviewed, show respect and use common sense.
VonBluesman ...It's because the modern day media relies on speculation driven by their own tiny mindsets and lack of imaginative reporting. Seems like every news outlet, except maybe the N.Y. times or Washington Post, is following the way of The National Enquirer, TMZ, and People Magazine...oh, and let's not forget about ESPN.
Gary Augustus You are absolutely right and it is a crying shame because they could learn so much from Coach, not only about football but about life in general.
I’d love to go to an Alabama game and cheer my team on but tickets are too high. If these students knew what a gift they have to attend these games, they’d sit their tails down and enjoy them.
Eh what? Tix to the game today were basically free. By free I mean under $20, and on Facebook I saw multiple people giving alway the tickets because it was going to be hot in the stadium and they decided not to go. No excuses. If you don’t have $100 for a trip to T town to cheer on the greatest dynasty in the history of college football, and don’t have the discipline to save up I don’t want to see you calling out the folks whom actually did attend the game
This press conference is night and day difference from Michigan's /Harbaugh's press conference !! I am a Michigan fan that is sick and tired of Harbaugh's PC , sugar coating, coddling of his players and "TEAM" play when they play so poorly !! This is why Alabama and Clemson dominate this sport, the way the coaching is spot on, NO politically correct BS to make you feel all warm n' fuzzy inside, Love it when he puts it so simple, , "every body wants to be #1, nobody puts their hand up and says they want to be #4) Love it! Harbaugh take notes, get pissed off at poor play, get in their faces, put them on the bench if they keep screwing up ( cough, cough, Patterson).You're not going to do better if you can't criticize and condemn these players for sloppy uninspired play!
@@garyaugustus1009 You're obviously a Michigan Hater, The State in itself has no equal so your statement is null and void! We have no hurricanes, no tornadoes to really speak of, no earth quakes, etc.... quite peaceful! We are surrounded by the most beautiful "fresh" water lakes, summers typically never reach above 85 degrees, winters are fairly mild, lots of snow. So if you are commenting from that shithole state of Alabama where the summers are unbearably HOT and the winters are brown and boring, probably should not speak about being boring! What do you really do in Alabama other than sleep with family members and produce cross eyed retarded kids! Nice trolling duchebag, I was trying to give you inbreds a compliment !
Oh Boy. Coach Saban simply said to the student section: FU! Well deserved. His point is that his players trained REALLY HARD during the week, why can't they (UA students) just stay and encourage his team for 3 hours!?!
This is what I mean. He is a dick...but he is a dick that makes sense. Everything the guy says makes sense. I would encourage you to watch his speech on leadership. This is going to sound crazy but it changed my life. I am from Boston and a Patriots fan, so I always respected Saban. But the more I watch him the more I like him. Whenever people complain about him, I always ask them, what did he say that didn't make sense?.. The answer is usually nothing.
@@scottkeister4975 But to be honest I will take it upon myself to answer for the other guy....What is your point? Obviously it was a rough estimate. You have national games, championships, etc. They all come in at different times, but what is your problem with his rough estimate of 3hrs> I am honestly confused as to what made you nitpick such a random thing.....
I went to college as a student only and it was tough,my two best long time friends played football and for four years l didn't see them very much because they had no time to hang out or party with,there hold time was structured almost 12 months out the year,so give the student athelete Soom love they earn that scholarship and especial the walk on.
Brandon Marshall Ain't nobody asked you to comment on Bama Football Channel!! This is ours! Stay the hell off and go comment your own damn channel! You head me?!
Wish my Razorbacks coach had this attitude! Coach like your the best, practice like your the best. It builds confidence and then you play like your the best. Guess what happens then....your the best!!
Where exactly was this so -called heated? I've seen Saban get heated before & this isn't it. And 95% of the time he does get triggered, its for good reason, lol. Roll Tide Roll!
Agree! And don't forget WCU a warm up game befor some real competition at Auburn. Even if they lose one game at Auburn or LSU. They're still be in the playoffs. Their schedule is setup nicely to go into the playoffs.
First and foremost, I take my hat off to coach Saban. He's been successful everywhere he's coached in college....NFL not so much but, still. That said, I'd love to know if he even enjoys what he's doing. He NEVER seems happy and always pissed. What motivates him to keep coaching despite ALWAYS looking miserable????
I think everybody knows the QB/WR threat is probably the best it's ever been overall. The offensive line needs to improve in order to establish the run and protect Tua better. I realize we have Brown out suspended 2 more games, atleast 2 more out with injuries, and have some young guys out there on this O-Line. Evan Neal is a massive dude, but he seems to be having trouble with the speed coming off the ball and getting leverage. He's as green as they come though and will only improve with reps. I think we have a kicker! Will Reichard looked really good. I've been impressed with true freshman Mike LB Shane Lee's play so far. I mean, you just can't replace a freak athlete like Dylan Moses or an experienced 5th year senior like Josh McMillon. The defensive playbook in college is much larger and the schemes are much more complex compared to highschool. The Secondary looks much improved as expected after getting experience under thier belt from last year. Hopefully we can stay healthy, but we're definitely gonna need some freshman to step up big to be able to play winning football with consistency. RTR! 🏈🐘💯🅰️
Now just look at some of the RIDICULOUS comments, like Bama hasn't tried to play those teams, some people are so DELUSIONAL! Why do you think Coach Saban is saying what he's saying? He isn't just making it up, and notice Bama is scheduling some home and home with those that are willing... Wisconsin Texas West Virginia Oklahoma Notra Dame Bama is scheduling home and homes with all these teams!
@thumbsaloft - Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but to the best of my knowledge Alabama under Saban, has never scheduled a true home and home non-conference game with any strong Power 5 conference teams one time. I did some homework. Here is their Power 5 Nonconference Schedule since 2012. 2012 - Michigan at Dallas, 2013 - Virginia Tech at Atlanta, 2014- West Virginia at Atlanta, 2015 - Wisconsin at Dallas, 2016 - USC at Dallas, 2017 - Florida State at Atlanta, 2018 - Louisville at Dallas, 2019 - Duke at Atlanta. We see others play home and home like OU- OSU, Texas A&M - Clemson, AUburn- Clemson, and Texas - LSU playing home and home this year and next year, I could go on and on, but I don’t recall one time up until now, Alabama had done that. They certainly have played Power 5 non-conference games against good teams but they all neutral sites as I just pointed out. Could all other Power 5 teams turned down a home and home with Alabama in the past? Possibly. But I would hazard a guess at least a few would have attempted to do so. I agree with Saban that I wish all games would be against Power 5 teams, then you wouldn’t have to run the table to be considered for the BCS at the end of the year. But it really bothers me that they get a bid every year and never put it on the line like OU-OSU did 2 straight years, and the loser didn’t get to the BCS Bowl that year and the winner did. So like I said, I could be wrong and nobody wants a true home and home with Alabama, and settle for a one year game at a neutral site, but sir until now and I went back to 2012 there have been 0 true home and home with Alabama. But would have sure loved to see it.
@@missourimanful, So do you honestly think that Bama just stopped looking?! No they didn't that's how they have all these home and homes coming up... Wisconsin Texas West Virginia Oklahoma Notra Dame Again, Bama is scheduling all these teams!
@thumbsaloft - Well that’s the $64,000 question. I don’t know if they kept looking. If I was a reporter there at that press conference, I would have my facts like I said, including your home and home with Penn State, and ask a Saban straight up, sir you scheduled a true home and home way back in 10’-11’, nothing since then. Have you attempted to do a home and home with true powerhouses like OU, OSU,Clemson, etc? If he looks me straight in the eye and says yes they did not want a true home and home, I would be satisfied.
what is this about new player antonio going through discipline stuff??? its like nick said hes not gonna tell us as fans if its academic or something else?? what did antonio do ya'll?
I think ur talking about AB so what happened to him is that he was with the raiders for the whole preseason and after that he wanted off the team so now the patriots will take him for 1 year and people r just saying that he is a drama queen and cry baby.
I’m A Oklahoma fan and can’t stand Bama but But no one wants to play another power 5 team this early in the season the first few games of the season are warm up games to get players playing time. Ppl need to stop trippin over Bama playing teams that aren’t that good every good team does it.
Well not exactly true. Alabama played duke whose a power 5 team. Auburn played oregon. Clemson played GT and TAMU both power 5 teams. Oregon state played oklahoma state. Theres been numerous power 5 game matchups so far
Of course a lot of players played! It was New Mexico St! 🙄 I will say Alabama has one of the greatest programs in the NCAA from the weight room to the expectations and standards of the program. This is coming from a Husker fan.
I wish there was a way to put the sportscasters on the podium to answer questions about their job performances, but it would be really boring for us and very uncomfortable for them.
Great teams lose to shitty teams all the time- countless examples even over recent years. His consistency of treating every opponent as a “threat” is why we just broke the FBS record of most consecutive wins over an unranked opponent ever. Every win is a great win when you’re the most dominant dynasty in college football history
I hate Alabama (pre Saban also) but Saban’s views on college football are spot on from NIL, to player development, to the transfer portal, to scheduling for power five schools. He knows exactly what college football is supposed to be and I’d have retired when he did. He knows it’s all going downhill. You can hate him if you want but his players don’t and he’s developed some great players and in many cases great men. That era is over. It’s NFL football now with younger and dumber players who are accountable to no one now.
Lies, for the most part of the Saban era at Bama, the Crimson Tide never leave the South for non conference games. And the Tide has adopted the scheduling model that College Football fans bashed Boise State for. They play one outside power 5 school week one (Duke), then backfill their other three non-conference games with teams they can pay to come play at Bryant-Denny. I bet some power five schools want the home-home series with Bama but the tide is reluctant to travel outside of the South.
But the good thing about it is we play a cupcake schedule and it doesn't matter if we win or lose because we know if we lose to the three games a year that we will be in the playoffs anyway because ESPN runs the SEC and the local media and therefore we're not worried about anybody that we play doing the year and rankings don't mean nothing because we're automatically in every year
He could certainly schedule better teams for more meaningful games if he wanted. They open next year with So. Cal but then play Georgia State, Kent State and Tennessee-Martin. Some real power house teams there! His rant rings a little hollow when that schedule shows up.
@@jddrew1000 nathaniel sorry im confusing you, i was just asking like is there any chance jery judy later on could become a really fast speedy like jalen hurts. i miss bamas more explosive players that have graduated and signed to the pros. i mean i like tua and all but hes not a jalen. you see what im asking nathaniel?
@@katynickerson5272 Jerry Jeudy is actually just as fast or a tad faster than Jalen Hurts...not sure what you mean by explosive but its maybe a difference of position ...when Hurts runs hes doing so as basically an unblocked runner,and its not running a route...Jerry Juedy is running a route and limited to where he can go till he makes a catch,plus he usually has a guy on his heels trying to tackle him
@@katynickerson5272 I understand you. You are dumber than a rock. I suppose that you have played the game and coached. Of course you haven't but you do have extraordinary skills as a critic. Nothing you said makes a lick of sense. I am guessing that you just like to say dumb things so in your mind you can feel big and deceived that you are contributing something of substance. What you are doing is making a fool of yourself.
No team plays all 5 power schools every year so why oh why would they ask that question. Plus the other schools like to get the chance to play the better teams. It helps them get better. So the question was very stupid if you ask me. Stop asking him about the students staying... He will always feel they should stay. Stupid question as well...
I’m concerned about the running game. We haven’t effectively rushed the ball and in order to drain the clock and wear out the defense, you have to rush the ball. I agree about the schedule stuff. Nobody wants to play us. They want to play us in the playoff and beat us once so they don’t have to worry about us. They’re scared and don’t want to play us in the regular season so we’re stuck playing teams who don’t have as many talented players. That’s not our fault. We want to play great teams every week. Maybe we just need to play an NFL team and then they’ll be happy.
Which NFL team are ya referring to? And maybe so. I would hope that older men who get paid millions & suppose to be experts of football could at least hang with some young, fast greenhorns. 😂. However, i would watch such a match😉
I repeated what he said because it has been stated that in order to receive something large from the devil, you have to make a sacrifice to him in order for him to give you success.... That's why I posted that.
Saban is the best. As a Bronco fan,it did kill me to hear him talk about Jerry Jeudy. Some ignorant Bronco fans think the guy is a bust...not realizing apparently Jeudy,(& Sutton,Patrick)-cant throw the ball to themselves...then catch it. Not saying these guys have been perfect...all 3 had drops Sunday,& Jeudy had a lot of drops as a rookie. But they are frustrated, barely touching the ball every few weeks, especially when they are often open. Jeudys biggest problem..."checkdown Teddy Bridgewater" is his QB...who rarely throws to anybody but a running back,3 yds down the field... especially on 3rd,& 8. Drew Lock is the QB now,& hes not the long term answer,but at least he tries to actually get the ball to receivers occasionally... considering we have a very talented,young 3 some. He also has an offensive coordinator who thinks it's illegal to throw on 1st down...& head coach-who doesn't give 2 f&$#s about the offense. I have no doubt,if we get an actual compotent offensive staff,& the rumors are true,& we trade for Rodgers,or Rus in the offseason-Jeudy will suddenly morph into Jamar Chase,or close. Sutton,& Patrick will again be what they used to be. I might be wrong,& this might be too simplistic. But to me...only difference between Chase,& Jeudy...Chase has a young, future HOFer throwing him the ball,& already developed chemistry with him,from college. Jeudy,& the Bronco wrs have nothing...but anyways...
Mary Johnson its been multiple articles written UCF Oklahoma Clemson Ohio State and many other power houses wont play us during regular season ... ive seen it with my own 2 eyes bitch 🤷🏽♀️ i know wtf im talking bout
Melvin McClamroch lie. Bama won’t play home and home with any top team north of the mason dixon line - neutral site 1 off games in Atlanta ain’t shit Play a great team on the road for once
I'll tell you why coach Saban is angry, because he's absolutely tired of MORONS saying Bama doesn't play anybody! They act like Bama is running from teams, the truth is teams are running from Bama!
Dude, get serious ... Alabama refuses to play any good team in a home and home ... the following teams would LOVE play the Tide in a home and home: OHIO STATE Wisconsin Michigan Penn State Oklahoma Clemson Texas and Notre Dame
@@sethstowe9452 - I know, man. I got tons of family from Georgia and Alabama. I was making a joke. Reporters get all in their feels about the fact that Saban sees through their BS and realizes he doesn't need them. And that...is a big ego blow to those sniveling little non-athletes who think they can make or break someone's career with their stupid questions and articles. I hate Bama, but I love Saban for that fact alone.
@@jmyers6670 Nice Win for Georgia State, that game was at their level of competition. Just because your in the P5 conference doesn't mean your an elite team. That also can be said about a non-power5 team playing at a higher level in their own conference.
Okay! powers5 conference, play 10 regular season games plus the playoffs, if only your a conference Champion. The 10 games should only be within the power5 +plus teams that are rising to become a power5. College football fans can still have the bowl game, just for entertainment. Let's make college football big, better than the NFL. Because college football is pure raw talent, unselfish and unspoiled players, till they get in the NFL.
“We try to schedule the best teams we can schedule.” Well, no you don’t. Your non conference slate is a joke and has been for years and everyone is waking up to it now. The students are not watching or leaving early, everyone is bored and you (Saban) have the audacity to blame the fans. It’s also ridiculous to say that you (Saban) don’t have any control of what teams you get to play. That’s bullshit. You have more power than your AD, and that’s a fact. Beating up inferior teams (and it isn’t fair to call them “cupcakes” (a term I hate) or “tomato cans”) to build up your record isn’t helping. Your ass got served by Clemson last year. Probably Georgia will serve it this year. Georgia played Notre Dame, Texas AM played Clemson, even lowly Ole Miss played #23 California. LSU played Texas. Your peers are playing strong out of conference games. Southern Miss, New Mexico State, Western Carolina is horseshit and you know it.
Lol stop hating brother, everyone plays inferior teams, just look at everyone's schedule & we've served plenty of teams, u know u can't always beat every team or win every game so let's see in 20/21 what happens when ur team plays us & don't come up with some ridiculous excuse brother

Lol
Bert Sides glad you find being an ass attractive. Your spouse must live a pleasant life.
I don't blame him for being pissed. You have to play for 4 quarter's and your second team has to do the same no matter what the damn score is
"Everyone wants to be the beast but not everybody wants to do what the beasts do." Saban is awesome.
"We'll play anybody you get to play us."
Enough said.
Don't you believe it.
Yeah, I believe that. I’m a huge Clemson fan! These teams are at the top of their games!
But you dont.....
I do
For $7 million / yr, we'll find them

Definitely be a great game every year! But I'm sure we'll keep meeting in the SEC championship. RTR!!

If you don’t have $100 for a trip to T town to cheer on the greatest dynasty in the history of college football, and don’t have the discipline to save up I don’t want to see you calling out the folks whom actually did attend the game
Yea tickets are cheap fr you can get em for 7$
Saban always pissing himself off the further he gets into an explanation. Lol
The last thing he said..."How to stop snakes having flat." What?
Plant-based Grandpa snag 7 flat
It was an offensive play call. Snag 7 flat
Terry Newman thank you
He said " figure out how to stop snakes how to fly.
Miami hurricane fan here nick Saban is my favorite coach
God damn this dude is a LEGEND.
Bad language, God does not like or care for it, clean it up son
This press conference is night and day difference from Michigan's /Harbaugh's press conference !! I am a Michigan fan that is sick and tired of Harbaugh's PC , sugar coating, coddling of his players and "TEAM" play when they play so poorly !! This is why Alabama and Clemson dominate this sport, the way the coaching is spot on, NO politically correct BS to make you feel all warm n' fuzzy inside, Love it when he puts it so simple, , "every body wants to be #1, nobody puts their hand up and says they want to be #4) Love it! Harbaugh take notes, get pissed off at poor play, get in their faces, put them on the bench if they keep screwing up ( cough, cough, Patterson).You're not going to do better if you can't criticize and condemn these players for sloppy uninspired play!
Thanks for complementing Saban, you're aight for a Michigan fan lol, I think Lloyd Carr was a better coach than harbaugh. ROLL TIDE ROLL
papa Wattz ...But, that's the State of Michigan in a nutshell...delusional, old, inflexible, cold and boring...
@@garyaugustus1009 You're obviously a Michigan Hater, The State in itself has no equal so your statement is null and void! We have no hurricanes, no tornadoes to really speak of, no earth quakes, etc.... quite peaceful! We are surrounded by the most beautiful "fresh" water lakes, summers typically never reach above 85 degrees, winters are fairly mild, lots of snow. So if you are commenting from that shithole state of Alabama where the summers are unbearably HOT and the winters are brown and boring, probably should not speak about being boring! What do you really do in Alabama other than sleep with family members and produce cross eyed retarded kids!
Nice trolling duchebag, I was trying to give you inbreds a compliment !
They got the ring this year baby!!!!!
"do you think 62-10 is a disappointing result" "why didn't you win 70-0"
Because Saban isn’t like that
Well I’m a student myself and I stayed the whole time just saying
Gene Paulk It’s not a problem when u love watching ur team play! Roll tide!
Oh Boy. Coach Saban simply said to the student section: FU! Well deserved. His point is that his players trained REALLY HARD during the week, why can't they (UA students) just stay and encourage his team for 3 hours!?!
Right I mean seriously its sad
This is what I mean. He is a dick...but he is a dick that makes sense. Everything the guy says makes sense. I would encourage you to watch his speech on leadership. This is going to sound crazy but it changed my life. I am from Boston and a Patriots fan, so I always respected Saban. But the more I watch him the more I like him. Whenever people complain about him, I always ask them, what did he say that didn't make sense?.. The answer is usually nothing.
Where do you get the 3 hr. comment? Do you know how long a televised game lasts?
@@scottkeister4975 What did I say about 3 hours? Pretty sure you replied to wrong person.
@@scottkeister4975 But to be honest I will take it upon myself to answer for the other guy....What is your point? Obviously it was a rough estimate. You have national games, championships, etc. They all come in at different times, but what is your problem with his rough estimate of 3hrs> I am honestly confused as to what made you nitpick such a random thing.....
Love this guy. Doesn't care for bullshit. Doesn't matter if you win the room for improvement is always there. Get over winning.
I went to college as a student only and it was tough,my two best long time friends played football and for four years l didn't see them very much because they had no time to hang out or party with,there hold time was structured almost 12 months out the year,so give the student athelete Soom love they earn that scholarship and especial the walk on.
Like coach said...put em on the field and we'll play them...#roll.tide
Brandon Marshall Ain't nobody asked you to comment on Bama Football Channel!! This is ours! Stay the hell off and go comment your own damn channel! You head me?!
Brandon Marshall Didn’t we embarrass y’all the year before? You beat a hurt qb and defense. Proud of you
Brandon Marshall Truth is truth. Y’all won but that’s the past and Clemson fans seem to be stuck in it
Brandon Marshall You’re the unofficial number 1 team proud of you
Brandon Marshall Don’t know what that mean but I’m happy you made it to adulthood
Love Sabens answer!!!
They can't be the best if they can play the best
Very well said all the way around 👍.
We definitely miss ya Nick
At 430 he goes off. Good job coach
We tried to play notre dame and they said 'we'll get back to you".
roger b bama and notre dame have a home and home scheduled
Wish my Razorbacks coach had this attitude! Coach like your the best, practice like your the best. It builds confidence and then you play like your the best. Guess what happens then....your the best!!
Awesome press conference
What a contrast between this and what the current state of Alabama football is
Where exactly was this so -called heated? I've seen Saban get heated before & this isn't it. And 95% of the time he does get triggered, its for good reason, lol.
Roll Tide Roll!
Ashley S. Maybe he isn’t hollering but he sure is a prick. I wouldn’t ask him anything. You can’t keep him from just being an ass.
I agree with you Ashley S. That was literally a zero "scoville units" press conference. "Where's the Heat?"
@@treborfoot9129 Yeah. His anti-press rant back in 2015 after the Ole Miss loss... *that* was spicy!
@@markpitre7332 well, you dont get to be one of the highest paid coaches for being a sweetheart haha!
never ask this man a dumb question...right.he handles the press like a lion
Nick Saban does an excellent job in overpowering the press.
Heated?
Start at 5:30 and watch till 6:30
MDev Studios I guess we have different definitions of heated LOL
Yeah this was hardly lukewarm.
Reporters try to irritate him with stupid questions.
Hes not mad at all. I've seen him mad. This isnt mad
Alabama's home schedule this year besides LSU is boring. New Mexico St, Miss, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Arkansas, and West Carolina.
Agree! And don't forget WCU a warm up game befor some real competition at Auburn. Even if they lose one game at Auburn or LSU. They're still be in the playoffs. Their schedule is setup nicely to go into the playoffs.
Honestly I wouldn't do any press conferences after games. Why give the media all those shots at you ever week?
He clearly doesn’t like stupid questions. Don’t ask stupid questions.
This is why he's the GOAT. Never satisfied
Uga will play you coach. But do you want to play them ?
First and foremost, I take my hat off to coach Saban. He's been successful everywhere he's coached in college....NFL not so much but, still. That said, I'd love to know if he even enjoys what he's doing. He NEVER seems happy and always pissed. What motivates him to keep coaching despite ALWAYS looking miserable????
I'm not a Sabon fan or AL. Fan. But this guy is really good!!!
Mr. Skeptical dynamite comment
I think everybody knows the QB/WR threat is probably the best it's ever been overall. The offensive line needs to improve in order to establish the run and protect Tua better. I realize we have Brown out suspended 2 more games, atleast 2 more out with injuries, and have some young guys out there on this O-Line. Evan Neal is a massive dude, but he seems to be having trouble with the speed coming off the ball and getting leverage. He's as green as they come though and will only improve with reps. I think we have a kicker! Will Reichard looked really good. I've been impressed with true freshman Mike LB Shane Lee's play so far. I mean, you just can't replace a freak athlete like Dylan Moses or an experienced 5th year senior like Josh McMillon. The defensive playbook in college is much larger and the schemes are much more complex compared to highschool. The Secondary looks much improved as expected after getting experience under thier belt from last year. Hopefully we can stay healthy, but we're definitely gonna need some freshman to step up big to be able to play winning football with consistency. RTR! 🏈🐘💯🅰️
Now just look at some of the RIDICULOUS comments, like Bama hasn't tried to play those teams, some people are so DELUSIONAL! Why do you think Coach Saban is saying what he's saying? He isn't just making it up, and notice Bama is scheduling some home and home with those that are willing...
Wisconsin
Texas
West Virginia
Oklahoma
Notra Dame
Bama is scheduling home and homes with all these teams!
@thumbsaloft - Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but to the best of my knowledge Alabama under Saban, has never scheduled a true home and home non-conference game with any strong Power 5 conference teams one time. I did some homework. Here is their Power 5 Nonconference Schedule since 2012. 2012 - Michigan at Dallas, 2013 - Virginia Tech at Atlanta, 2014- West Virginia at Atlanta, 2015 - Wisconsin at Dallas, 2016 - USC at Dallas, 2017 - Florida State at Atlanta, 2018 - Louisville at Dallas, 2019 - Duke at Atlanta. We see others play home and home like OU- OSU, Texas A&M - Clemson, AUburn- Clemson, and Texas - LSU playing home and home this year and next year, I could go on and on, but I don’t recall one time up until now, Alabama had done that. They certainly have played Power 5 non-conference games against good teams but they all neutral sites as I just pointed out. Could all other Power 5 teams turned down a home and home with Alabama in the past? Possibly. But I would hazard a guess at least a few would have attempted to do so. I agree with Saban that I wish all games would be against Power 5 teams, then you wouldn’t have to run the table to be considered for the BCS at the end of the year. But it really bothers me that they get a bid every year and never put it on the line like OU-OSU did 2 straight years, and the loser didn’t get to the BCS Bowl that year and the winner did. So like I said, I could be wrong and nobody wants a true home and home with Alabama, and settle for a one year game at a neutral site, but sir until now and I went back to 2012 there have been 0 true home and home with Alabama. But would have sure loved to see it.
@@missourimanful, Here's your answer, PENN STATE!
@thumbsaloft - ok 2010 and 2011. I stopped looking as far back as 2012. Nothing since then.
@@missourimanful, So do you honestly think that Bama just stopped looking?! No they didn't that's how they have all these home and homes coming up...
Wisconsin
Texas
West Virginia
Oklahoma
Notra Dame
Again, Bama is scheduling all these teams!
@thumbsaloft - Well that’s the $64,000 question. I don’t know if they kept looking. If I was a reporter there at that press conference, I would have my facts like I said, including your home and home with Penn State, and ask a Saban straight up, sir you scheduled a true home and home way back in 10’-11’, nothing since then. Have you attempted to do a home and home with true powerhouses like OU, OSU,Clemson, etc? If he looks me straight in the eye and says yes they did not want a true home and home, I would be satisfied.
what is this about new player antonio going through discipline stuff??? its like nick said hes not gonna tell us as fans if its academic or something else?? what did antonio do ya'll?
I think ur talking about AB so what happened to him is that he was with the raiders for the whole preseason and after that he wanted off the team so now the patriots will take him for 1 year and people r just saying that he is a drama queen and cry baby.
Donovan Elston x
“I’m trying to figure out how we lost contain when they ran a damn zone play(run).” Lol I love Nick
nicolas amison you love this ass hole?
Please coach saban!
Should have to play every team in ur conference then should match the best from that to a playoff schedule
I’m A Oklahoma fan and can’t stand Bama but But no one wants to play another power 5 team this early in the season the first few games of the season are warm up games to get players playing time. Ppl need to stop trippin over Bama playing teams that aren’t that good every good team does it.
Well not exactly true. Alabama played duke whose a power 5 team. Auburn played oregon. Clemson played GT and TAMU both power 5 teams. Oregon state played oklahoma state. Theres been numerous power 5 game matchups so far
These types of games are great for afternoon naps......
Nick, you will play anybody/anytime and at THEIR stadium?!? I think not.
aka AAA I don’t get what you mean. He is saying he will play anybody. What’s the big deal about “THEIR” stadium versus his anyways?
Mike Hunt He won’t play any teams away north of Atlanta
Thank you brcause UCF would love the opportunity
@@PS-vc2yz You're an idiot. He has played all over the country.
He would but other teams don’t wanna get beat
Of course a lot of players played! It was New Mexico St! 🙄
I will say Alabama has one of the greatest programs in the NCAA from the weight room to the expectations and standards of the program. This is coming from a Husker fan.
I wish there was a way to put the sportscasters on the podium to answer questions about their job performances, but it would be really boring for us and very uncomfortable for them.
Roll tide coach, great win
Alan __ easy win over a bunch of scrubs again
Great teams lose to shitty teams all the time- countless examples even over recent years. His consistency of treating every opponent as a “threat” is why we just broke the FBS record of most consecutive wins over an unranked opponent ever. Every win is a great win when you’re the most dominant dynasty in college football history
UCF PLEASE !!!!
I hate Alabama (pre Saban also) but Saban’s views on college football are spot on from NIL, to player development, to the transfer portal, to scheduling for power five schools. He knows exactly what college football is supposed to be and I’d have retired when he did. He knows it’s all going downhill. You can hate him if you want but his players don’t and he’s developed some great players and in many cases great men. That era is over. It’s NFL football now with younger and dumber players who are accountable to no one now.
UCF needs to join one of the power 5 con. the end
UCF"s academics stink. The end.
David Herring UCF ass
@@DNSKansas academics? Theyre pretty decent
Jim Bob and they have the 2nd
largest student body if I’m not mistaken
Lies, for the most part of the Saban era at Bama, the Crimson Tide never leave the South for non conference games. And the Tide has adopted the scheduling model that College Football fans bashed Boise State for. They play one outside power 5 school week one (Duke), then backfill their other three non-conference games with teams they can pay to come play at Bryant-Denny. I bet some power five schools want the home-home series with Bama but the tide is reluctant to travel outside of the South.
But the good thing about it is we play a cupcake schedule and it doesn't matter if we win or lose because we know if we lose to the three games a year that we will be in the playoffs anyway because ESPN runs the SEC and the local media and therefore we're not worried about anybody that we play doing the year and rankings don't mean nothing because we're automatically in every year
Ya gotta love him....
I go gotta figure out how to stop snag 7 flat 😂😂😂.. I would laugh everyday at pratice, this guy is the funniest
He could certainly schedule better teams for more meaningful games if he wanted. They open next year with So. Cal but then play Georgia State, Kent State and Tennessee-Martin. Some real power house teams there! His rant rings a little hollow when that schedule shows up.
"Mr. Personality"
is there a chance we could get jery judy to become a fast explosive player like jalen hurts??? im here in bama. its just a question???
I'm confused by your question. They play different positions
@@jddrew1000 nathaniel sorry im confusing you, i was just asking like is there any chance jery judy later on could become a really fast speedy like jalen hurts. i miss bamas more explosive players that have graduated and signed to the pros. i mean i like tua and all but hes not a jalen. you see what im asking nathaniel?
@@katynickerson5272 Jerry Jeudy is actually just as fast or a tad faster than Jalen Hurts...not sure what you mean by explosive but its maybe a difference of position ...when Hurts runs hes doing so as basically an unblocked runner,and its not running a route...Jerry Juedy is running a route and limited to where he can go till he makes a catch,plus he usually has a guy on his heels trying to tackle him
@@katynickerson5272 I understand you. You are dumber than a rock. I suppose that you have played the game and coached. Of course you haven't but you do have extraordinary skills as a critic. Nothing you said makes a lick of sense. I am guessing that you just like to say dumb things so in your mind you can feel big and deceived that you are contributing something of substance. What you are doing is making a fool of yourself.
Jeudy can juke! He's awesome! Are you watchin the right player?
No team plays all 5 power schools every year so why oh why would they ask that question. Plus the other schools like to get the chance to play the better teams. It helps them get better. So the question was very stupid if you ask me. Stop asking him about the students staying... He will always feel they should stay. Stupid question as well...
I’m concerned about the running game. We haven’t effectively rushed the ball and in order to drain the clock and wear out the defense, you have to rush the ball. I agree about the schedule stuff. Nobody wants to play us. They want to play us in the playoff and beat us once so they don’t have to worry about us. They’re scared and don’t want to play us in the regular season so we’re stuck playing teams who don’t have as many talented players. That’s not our fault. We want to play great teams every week. Maybe we just need to play an NFL team and then they’ll be happy.
Heated press conference? Another clickbait headline
5:30
After watching this did the tide win?
Why don't you play an NFL team put it on PPV and make some McGregor and Mayweather money
No. Your going to get my Falcons hurt. Stop that nonsense
Why not? Haha, alot of the NFL players are former Bama guys anyway. It would be one giant reunion - Crimson Style😏.
Which NFL team are ya referring to? And maybe so. I would hope that older men who get paid millions & suppose to be experts of football could at least hang with some young, fast greenhorns. 😂. However, i would watch such a match😉
He said you have to make a "sacrifice"!!! 🤔
So
I repeated what he said because it has been stated that in order to receive something large from the devil, you have to make a sacrifice to him in order for him to give you success.... That's why I posted that.
Hayley RECOGNITION comes when ONE has vanquished a worthy adversary
Saban is the best. As a Bronco fan,it did kill me to hear him talk about Jerry Jeudy. Some ignorant Bronco fans think the guy is a bust...not realizing apparently Jeudy,(& Sutton,Patrick)-cant throw the ball to themselves...then catch it. Not saying these guys have been perfect...all 3 had drops Sunday,& Jeudy had a lot of drops as a rookie. But they are frustrated, barely touching the ball every few weeks, especially when they are often open. Jeudys biggest problem..."checkdown Teddy Bridgewater" is his QB...who rarely throws to anybody but a running back,3 yds down the field... especially on 3rd,& 8. Drew Lock is the QB now,& hes not the long term answer,but at least he tries to actually get the ball to receivers occasionally... considering we have a very talented,young 3 some. He also has an offensive coordinator who thinks it's illegal to throw on 1st down...& head coach-who doesn't give 2 f&$#s about the offense.
I have no doubt,if we get an actual compotent offensive staff,& the rumors are true,& we trade for Rodgers,or Rus in the offseason-Jeudy will suddenly morph into Jamar Chase,or close. Sutton,& Patrick will again be what they used to be. I might be wrong,& this might be too simplistic. But to me...only difference between Chase,& Jeudy...Chase has a young, future HOFer throwing him the ball,& already developed chemistry with him,from college. Jeudy,& the Bronco wrs have nothing...but anyways...
Saben 💪🏽dats my GUY
Then why did you spell his name incorrectly?
Ya......tell us how hard NEW Mexico State was to beat.
You act like not every team has cupcake teams like Clemson Clemson just played there only tough team
but oklahoma dont wanna play us during regular season 😂🤷🏽♀️
@@hayleywhitfield166, says who? I'd believe that statement if it came from Jalen Hurts.

Play a great team on the road for once
Right they all want us
Put your boots on. Craps getting deep 😂😂
I'll tell you why coach Saban is angry, because he's absolutely tired of MORONS saying Bama doesn't play anybody! They act like Bama is running from teams, the truth is teams are running from Bama!
UCF wanted to play UA.
@@Nastyfinger1444 No they didn't
@@Nastyfinger1444, Let's say they did, you're still talking about ONE TEAM!

Michigan
Penn State
Oklahoma
Clemson
Texas
and Notre Dame
The real issue here is Alabama refuses to play any good team in a home and home!
We will play any team, but please let them not be a top 25 team cause we are used to playing soft teams.
So this is what constitutes as "heated" in the south, I guess.
No it’s just the pansy reporters
@@sethstowe9452 - I know, man. I got tons of family from Georgia and Alabama. I was making a joke. Reporters get all in their feels about the fact that Saban sees through their BS and realizes he doesn't need them.

I hate Bama, but I love Saban for that fact alone.
i want to be # 2 cause we try harder!!!!
Like how he burned Taulia’s redshirt year first game and not play him this game.
FYI: NCAA changed the rules last year. Players can play in up to 4 games and still get a redshirt year.
shiel011 ohh ok. Didn’t know that
You can tell he's clucking for a cigarette!
We'll "PAY" I mean PLAY! any one that we can give them a beat down and go undefeated into the playoffs.
So you must have enjoyed that Tennessee paid Georgia State $1 mil to come to the home field and beat the crap out of them
@@jmyers6670 Nice Win for Georgia State, that game was at their level of competition. Just because your in the P5 conference doesn't mean your an elite team. That also can be said about a non-power5 team playing at a higher level in their own conference.
Okay! powers5 conference, play 10 regular season games plus the playoffs, if only your a conference Champion. The 10 games should only be within the power5 +plus teams that are rising to become a power5.
College football fans can still have the bowl game, just for entertainment.
Let's make college football big, better than the NFL. Because college football is pure raw talent, unselfish and unspoiled players, till they get in the NFL.
Yes! UCF SHOULD should be in top 12 at least. They proved it last two years I think
The GOAT!!
“We try to schedule the best teams we can schedule.”
Well, no you don’t. Your non conference slate is a joke and has been for years and everyone is waking up to it now. The students are not watching or leaving early, everyone is bored and you (Saban) have the audacity to blame the fans.
It’s also ridiculous to say that you (Saban) don’t have any control of what teams you get to play. That’s bullshit. You have more power than your AD, and that’s a fact.
Beating up inferior teams (and it isn’t fair to call them “cupcakes” (a term I hate) or “tomato cans”) to build up your record isn’t helping. Your ass got served by Clemson last year. Probably Georgia will serve it this year.
Georgia played Notre Dame, Texas AM played Clemson, even lowly Ole Miss played #23 California. LSU played Texas. Your peers are playing strong out of conference games. Southern Miss, New Mexico State, Western Carolina is horseshit and you know it.
Lol stop hating brother, everyone plays inferior teams, just look at everyone's schedule & we've served plenty of teams, u know u can't always beat every team or win every game so let's see in 20/21 what happens when ur team plays us & don't come up with some ridiculous excuse brother
