Here's the video. You can see how mad he gets...

Love that snarl he gave right at the very end. You can tell that was directed towards the guy who asked the previous question. Classic.

Some people dislike Sagan because he has such a dry personality and comes off like a jerk, but I love his approach to every game. I think he was truly sincere in what he said about respecting U.S. and all opponents

This happens every year at least once at a Saban press conference.

If they are caught sleeping, someone will take them down. On any given day, any team can beat another. We are going to give our all.

Typical Saban. Everything he said in the interview has been said before.

Nick Saban = Class Act

I don't know much about Saban's interviews because I don't keep up with Bama but I found it interesting that the question that bugged him the most was the assertion of us being a weaker opponent. I would be the worst coach ever. I would probably answer the question like..."yeah, we may step off the gas around the second quarter and make our qbs duel it out. Depends on if we have hit our 4th string yet." Meanwhile, I would lose the game.

But interestingly enough. Do you all remember this quote by Vanderbilt's Woody Widenhofer before our 37-28 win over them in 2001?

"It's not going to boil down to whether we win or lose, but how badly we beat them."...Vanderbilt Coach Woody Widenhofer

We also have a Coach with similar charistics. I never remember him ever say anything
1)about any opponent 2 weeks away.

 

[D-winns]

Well I hit enter too quick.
should read,
1) about any opponent 2 weeks away
2) that they aren't very strong. He always refers to them
