Saban is going to be on OTL for a long interview soon. SEC released a 3 minute snippet from said interview.
He covers a variety of topics such as:
* He feels he should have 8 titles b/c there were for teams good enough to win, but didn't, so he feels he failed those 4 times.
* No personal rivalries so losing to Meyer didn't hurt worse b/c it was Meyer (calling BS on that one)
* Feels he isn't close to hanging it up
* The loses hurt him far worse than the fans
Nick Saban likely rustling jimmies b/c some of you twist everything he says to fit your agenda. Enjoy.

I really wish you would have let a none Bama fan post this

Posts like this are why team specific boards were created.

I'd say 2008, 2013 and maybe 2014, but I don't see 8.

I'm surprised he could say that with a straight face.

Of course he's going to say this -- anything else could potentially negatively affect recruiting. Every coach in his position says this (see Steve Spurrier).

Every coach says this.
So basically it was an interview full of typical cliched coachspeak.

You expected him to say he will retire in two years or something and let everything be about that instead of the season?

The 2010 Bama team is one of the best to never win a championship...and definitely the best 3-loss team ever. That roster was loaded with playmakers AND experience.

Or he should have 1 title as he should not have been in the game in 2011 or 2012, Texas was better in 09, and the other years he didn't even have a chance to lose in the championship game because he wasn't able to even make it there.
Two ways to look at that should have..
