As a lifelong Dolphins fan I haven’t felt genuine optimism at the quarterback position since Marino retired. This kid is special though, I can feel it. As long as he avoids injury, he can take the Dolphins back to championship contention.
@@chasejackson7248 do some research bro. Football programs pay for most of the other school sports programs. The players make the school more money than they'll ever get to come play their. They should be paid.
@@jpatrick1967 Jealousy with his success is noted but most coaches that are successful as he has been have unwavering standards that have to be followed. He has mellowed out somewhat in the past couple or 3 seasons though.
@@shchorss I think you misunderstand my point, he still has high standards and expects the best from everyone in the program but Saban has shown moments of true emotion with players especially Tua. That doesn't mean he can't be really successful at the same time. He still gets upset at coaches, players and officials during the game the same as always but he has just shown more of a human element that he didn't show before. Even last year during LSU's great season if Alabama had not suffered the amount of injuries they did I believe they could have beaten LSU the first time or at least got a 2nd shot at them in the playoffs. They were still definitely a Top 3 team, Oklahoma was not. Mellowing out some doesn't equate to the team or the coach being substandard at all!
Tua is Our Boy! Saban is Saban lol... Love hearing stories like these! Both Major Blessings to Alabama! Miami has never had so many fans! We Riden with Ours! Roll Tide Go Fins!
Tua just made me a dolphins fan, I don't watch much NFL outside of Derrick Henry and keeping up with other Bama players and I've never been a team fan, but I've never followed a player like I have TUA, he's special. He got me a team, buying his jersey as soon as I can find one.
This interview is priceless, I hope TUA stays healthy,I believe he's going to be setting some new NFL records, I'd love to have been there when he told Saban he needed more room, lol
As an LSU fan, I'm glad he's gone! However, as a lifelong Dolphins fan, I am absolutely ecstatic he's with the Fins! Not since Marino has there been this kind of optimism surrounding the Dolphins QB position.
As a huge Dolphins fan I loved Dan Marino...until I saw Marino not be able to beat a bad AFC every year and refuse to listen to Jimmy Johnsons team first strategy because all Dan Marino was about was Dan Marino. I know you didnt ask for this response but Marino really disappointed people
That reminds me of Joe Montana, disliked him because he played for Norte Dame, but then he signed with the Niners, and finally got them past the Cowboys.
@@williamgullett5911 So you liked Marino up and until the last 5 years of his career? Yeah, he had a nagging and debilitating Achilles injury to contend with at the end. What a tragedy.
Hollywood couldn't have written a better script than how it played out in arguably the most amazing finishes of a colligate national championship game!
@@70mjc yes it was. It you pay attention he says it was after they were in the locker room celebrating and then saban pulled him to the side. So yes it was won already.
@@rickyd8097 nick saban can. Nick saban cares if you win but he cares more that you win with great football. If tua didnt make that throw, then everyone would be talking about how he took the sack. Nick saban wants to improve the fine details much like bill belichick. There was one game where bama didnt commit any fouls, false starts, or offsides until the 4th quarter and that 1 false start made nick saban angry.
Kesner Clerie don’t worry. There will be plenty of opportunities for them to mess things up. Never underestimate the ability of certain people and organizations to screw things up.
I love this young man, I have a feeling, barring injury which can derail any and all players at any time, he will have a great career. I also think he would be very successful no matter what he decided to be in life.
I been watching this man's development he's going to be a great Quarterback Im one of the few who thought Brady would become great. Tua is coming into the league soon and I feel like he already understand that a Quarterback in the NFL most important tool is reading defenses. I hope the O LINE PROTECT HIM
Good story. Shows how much pressure guys like Saban are under and how they never break character. He was probably only happy for a couple minutes after the win and thousands of coaches out there would have partied until next training camp
Ignacio Chavez I mean you can show out in college and still not play good in the NFL, that’s why it’s a bust. I don’t think he will have a problem individually, I think it will be more of the team as a whole.
I enjoy so many of your interviews and forget to tell you how awesome you are Mr Eisen! Thanks for all your great work, and always remaining neutral! G-d knows we need more unslanted journalism nowadays!
Teachable moments need to be done - it as important if you eventually got it right; Saban 101 chapter 1 - dont let it slide; best of leaders or managers do that always
The homeboy from the Hawaiian Islands taking it in stride and tried to pick his spot to make a joke and it didn't work but he still laughed God bless Tua. Good luck young man👍✌
FACT When Colin Kaepernick was still at the University of Nevada, I was talking to him one day when he was working at Silver and Blue Outfitters during the Summer and he told me a story very similar to this about Coach Chris Ault when Colin audibled out of a play and ran for a touchdown. Coach Ault was still not really happy that Colin audibled out of the play and ran the ball. These old school college coaches are tough.
I’m buying stock in Tua. I think he and Burrow will both be great QBs. Herbert will be good in SD also. I think when it’s all said and done, Tua will be the best QB in the class.
I've come back to this after his third concussion against Buffalo. This dude seems real as f***, like he has the tom brady factor where he can galvanize an offense with who he is rather than sheer talent. I hope he retires but he has that it factor at qb to go with miami's talent on offense. Just don't die trying to win a super bowl bro
That was funny! I thought some commenter came up with that excuse cuz I read that quote someplace else but it was Tua who said that! LOL And he said that to his coach as a reply to a very serious question? ROFLMAO! What a story!
At one time the dolphins had more players From BAMA then any NFL team, and they were very successful, I hope that's a new trend for Miami, one things for sure, TUA will make Miami great again
I never really watched many Tua interviews, but he seems like a solid dude. I wish him well with the Dolphins.
mso1ful he’s gonna do a lotta commercials.
As a lifelong Dolphins fan I haven’t felt genuine optimism at the quarterback position since Marino retired. This kid is special though, I can feel it. As long as he avoids injury, he can take the Dolphins back to championship contention.
Juan Garcia lets hope he can stay healthy
Juan Garcia what about Tannehill?
@@HughGRekshin As a Fins fan, I was waaaaay happier when we got Tua vs. when we got Tannehill in 2012
The truth is: Tua just made the WORST play of the game followed by the BEST play of the game. Shocking! I can't recall anything like it in any sport.
Then he had the worst game ever against Georgia in the sec championship.
They get paid over a hundred thousand dollars while other college students have to pay to go to college.
@@chasejackson7248
They make the school a lot more than that.
@@Mikevdog relax, just a salty Georgia fan and/or Alabama hater. See em all the time

Thts so him tho
Then just leaves without saying anything else XD 20 below this guy.
“That’s not funny.” I’m going to use that when the bill collectors call in June.
that's funny, good luck
He’s such a nice guy! So honorable! We miss him in Alabama!

Nope. Speak for yourself. I do wish him well tho.
“I thought it would be a good time to joke with him” 😭😂
This interview is priceless, I hope TUA stays healthy,I believe he's going to be setting some new NFL records, I'd love to have been there when he told Saban he needed more room, lol
Great coaches are always coaching, never pass up a coaching moment.
EXACTLY...and Saban will not get a more accurate recall of thoughts from Tua than then. Saban can then file that and use it to teach/coach next year.
Every play, every moment in a game either adds up to you winning or losing. Even though they won coach Saban is always teaching.
He seems like a cool dude
Wish him the best in the NFL
except when plays the raiders or rams.
Tua, NEVER forget Saban pushed you to be the best in everything you do. EVERYTHING. Lodie
As an LSU fan, I'm glad he's gone! However, as a lifelong Dolphins fan, I am absolutely ecstatic he's with the Fins! Not since Marino has there been this kind of optimism surrounding the Dolphins QB position.

As a long time Bama and Dolphins fan I am super pumped to see Tua in action. Been dreaming about this for 2+ years. Roll Tide and Go Phins!!
From a Pats fan to Miami fans congrats! It looks like you've finally got your guy. Tua is such a talented kid.
i think mac jones would be a perfect quarterback for the pats
@@zesolodar That would make me so happy lol it's hard to root for the Pats with these garbage Auburn QBs they got right now.

That will go down as the greatest finish of all time in a Natty. It's still sinking in.

Man so stoked to have him as a Dolphin
As an LSU fan I have to say I am glad he is gone. Haha. Tua is a class act and I wish him the best.
I wish I experienced more interactions with LSU fans like you instead of assholes I see in Baton Rouge sometimes
@@koopvice8697 sadly every fanbase has the bad assholes. It sucks, but that is what everyone remembers when they visit rival territory!

So says the LSU fan!! BS!!!
Clinton League don’t be a douche
My brother in the Lord, Tua! I love this guy!
Never, crack a joke when your coach has smoke coming out his ears.
What coach has smoke coming out of his ears after winning the national championship?

Just needed more room for pass da ball🤷♂️
ouch...lol....where do we get our...Tua jersey.....
@@4allages708 I need my number 1 right now lol
Go listen to it again. That's not what he said. Tua's grammar is better than that.

Thank god they finally got it right. 🐬🔥🐬🔥

Tua seems like a great young man. I hope he does great.
I’m hoping and praying he isn’t a bust. Seems like a good guy and from everything I’ve seen of him he’s a stud. But still.....
But still what🤔🤔
Ignacio Chavez i completely agree. Just praying it translates in NFL games.
tavaris hayes if he’s a bust I’d be surprised. I hope it works out tho.
Ignacio Chavez I mean you can show out in college and still not play good in the NFL, that’s why it’s a bust. I don’t think he will have a problem individually, I think it will be more of the team as a whole.
@Ignacio Chavez people thought sam Bradford passed the eye test and Tua is playing for the dolphins
Even as an LSU fan, I have a ton of respect for him. Hope he has a lot of success in the NFL
Wow! And we thought Belichick had no chill.
You gotta love tua he’s a truly great person
And this is why Saban is Saban...never accept things in victory that you wouldn't in defeat
Great story... I thought we need more room to throw
... Priceless is correct…"I thought it would be a good time to tell a joke".. I love it...❗️❗️❗️ God is good 😎

If this man can’t save the dolphins than they can never be saved lol🐬
That's a show of great leadership.

Thats my QB greatness instore for the Dolphins hopefully they get to play 😊
That was so darn funny. Hell coach he didn't have time to think. You don't ever see Saban joking around. He's business all the time.
Welcome to Miami, big Tuna !!! This kid is awesome.
will be a dolphins fan as long as tau is there

And why do a lot of people hate saban??? I k ow some of it is not saban fault now, but the other half is Saban fault
Never heard him speak 😂
I lobe to hear Saban stories like this. Hilarious
That's a Super Techmo Bowl move I used with Warren Moon back in the day!
As an UGA fan I hate/love Tua and Nick Saban. So much respect for Coach Saban. Hope we take one from him someday. Go Dawgs!
Saban is a savage...😁👍🏼👍🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tua to Saban, “For a minute there I thought we were in trouble”
Priceless! Saban said that's not funny.
We are now used to seeing Smitty wide-open running to the end zone.
that is what makes Saba the best....
That was funny! I thought some commenter came up with that excuse cuz I read that quote someplace else but it was Tua who said that! LOL And he said that to his coach as a reply to a very serious question? ROFLMAO! What a story!
“That’s not funny” 😂😂😂
The intensity can be hard to continue to play for..
How did it go from this to this amount of hate
Money and status!!! Changed so did the Hate!!
That is why coach Saban is the best, period, GO DAWGS!
Classic!! Go Tua!!❤️
I think Saban's sense of humor was extracted when they did the circumcision.
He just wants to keep winning and knows while he's working letting his guard down would lead to a loss vs South Carolina
Nick Saban is Michael Jordan level competitive
-- Saban could've waited until the next day for the question, and let Tua enjoy the National Championship victory -- enjoy the moment. Enjoy life.
Coaches always coach
That kid has great potential if he stays healthy. If he does, Miami has built a great team with Brian Flores at the helm. Watch out.
Tua is gonna win in Miami, Look at how laid back this guy is.
Lol! Oh yea! Like making the coaches headphones squeeze his head real hard!!
Dude is nervous. All in the body language
At one time the dolphins had more players From BAMA then any NFL team, and they were very successful, I hope that's a new trend for Miami, one things for sure, TUA will make Miami great again
