Nick Saban discussed how the bye week helps Alabama football's coaches.
The query from a reporter was whether Saban has some analytical way of determining whether his coaches need rest, like he has with UA’s players.
Saban’s Alabama team will face LSU after the open week, after beating Tennessee in comeback fashion on Saturday. He said during the press availability that the week off could do the Tide good when it comes to recovering from injuries.“We only have one player on our team who was down like 2.9%,” Saban said. “Everybody else is at at least that level. So they may think they’re tired, but it’s probably more psychological from game plans and the grind of the season than it actually is physically.
“It’s not nearly as taxing for coaches during the bye week as it is during the regular week,” Saban said. “So there is some psychological relief for everyone.”
