Nick Saban may be retired and has said that he wants to stay retired from coaching, but has shown that he still loves college football. The legendary coach who has won national titles with LSU and Alabama, appeared at “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday and spoke about how he made his legendary gameplans, and he certainly did not hold back on the expletives.
“…I was never one of these guys that tried to make it simple. I was a whole part whole guy.”
“To use Pat (McAfee)‘s terminology, I would take a bucket of s**t, throw it on the wall, see what stuck, pick up the s**t and then threw it up there until it all stuck. So it might take longer for some guys than others but that’s the way I approach it because we wanted to be able to make adjustments in the game,” he added.
Saban has built a reputation of winning during his coaching days, with his gameplans still being studied by coaches today. He retired with an overall record of 292 wins and 71 losses, with seven national titles under his belt. He is considered one of the winningest coaches in college football history in terms of championship wins.
He is now working as an analyst for ESPN, though there was word that he would be coming out of retirement soon, though many believed that he might coach in the NFL. However, Saban himself, as well as his daughters and several people close to him have noted that the rumors of him returning to coaching are not true.
Nick Saban Believes Talks About Benching Arch Manning
Also during his time at “The Pat McAfee Show,” he also discussed Arch Manning and the struggling Texas Longhorns who have not been performing as well as many had hoped. There had been calls to bench the Manning family scion, but Nick Saban pushed back on this idea.
He admitted that Texas had some problems running the ball consistently, but he noted that this situation puts more pressure on the quarterback and this would give the defense a better advantage against the Longhorns. He added that Texas should focus on the technical aspect and noted that should Texas decide to bench Manning, they have to make sure his backup would play better than him.
