The quote from Saban about players showing their arses specifically referred to angry behavior in the locker room immediately after the Rose Bowl loss.

I found it to be a bizarre comment and was seemingly disconnected from the rest of his quotes (which focused on NIL and the state of college football today). I find it hard to believe that there weren’t plenty of players across his career that threw their helmets or were fighting mad after a terrible loss like the one in January.

My guess is the players were showing their arse to the offensive coaching staff.

When I played, everyone was emotional after a loss, but throwing your helmet was a line in the sand that you knew never to cross or there would be punishment. The helmet is the most symbolically significant part of the uniform and throwing it was viewed as disrespecting the program. Saban taking particular issue with it didn't even make me bat an eye because it's just woven into football culture that you never do that.
