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.



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

No personal rivalries so losing to Meyer didn't hurt worse b/c it was Meyer (calling BS on that one)



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

Feels he isn't close to hanging it up



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).

The loses hurt him far worse than the fans



Every coach says this.



So basically it was an interview full of typical cliched coachspeak.

8 is a tough number to get to, but the three you named get him to 7.

I bet he's talking about 2010. That was his most talented team at Bama. Crazy talented. Crazy deep. That team had the talent to win it all, no doubt.
