Nick Saban discussed how he continues to be relatable to Alabama's players.
“I think the biggest gift he wants is a win this week,” Milroe said. “We all know that in the locker room, but we’re all definitely gonna tell him happy birthday. He’s getting old, but he still acts young, that’s the funny part. He does everything young. He’s a lot of fun.”, the crew wished Saban a happy birthday. McAfee then asked the coach how he continues to be relatable to his players, and how he maintains the competitive stamina to want to do so at this point in his career.
“I think the sort of key to it all is, you want players to respect you,” Saban said. “There was probably a time when we all coached with a little bit more intimidation to create fear so people would do things the way we wanted because they were afraid not to, I know that’s how it was when I played. Saban went on to say that the philosophy has made coaching more fun for both himself and the Crimson Tide’s players.
