"I'm not gonna be the next head coach at Alabama, there I said it."

Not a recent event, but a recent quote.

A couple of years ago, a Bama fan calls in to Jack Arute and Gino Torretta's show on Sirius and gets Torretta talking about the Sugar Bowl vs. Alabama. Torretta says he's on the sidelines after the first couple of series, on the headset to the offensive coaches up in the box, trying to figure out what's going on with the Bama defense. Coaches in the box tell Torretta he's going to have to give them a few more plays to figure it out. Torretta's response: "F*** you! My head's hitting the concrete on every play!"

Not sure who wrote the article but it was the Sports Illustrated article on the 1992 Sugar Bowl where Bama beat Miami 34-13 for the NC.

"Derrick Lassic ran on Miami like a red towel on a white tee shirt."

"They are a hateful bunch," Saban said admiringly, "and they are as competitive as you can ever imagine."
quote:

- Nick Saban, speaking about the 2011 defense after the BCSCG.
I love that one.

In the same interview after the game Saban said, "Those guys irritated me sometimes when they'd come to practice and I felt like they weren't being serious and giving 100% in practice. But when that ball hits the turf on game day, by God they come to PLAY!" with a rare grin on his face.....I thought Herbstreet was going to bow down and kiss Nick's feet he was so fired up.
