Why are Saban coached teams incapable of playing with the lead?

To me, trying to look at it objectively, here's what I think happens. At least what I think happened yesterday. Sometimes it's good to congratulate and encourage someone for a great effort even if the results aren't quite what they should be. For instance, if a salesman lands a big sale of 100k, congratulate and encourage rather than tearing down the effort because the 100k was the lowest proposal of three. Here's what I mean, it appeared to me that the guys came out defeated, kinda like "Dang we just played the half of the season and he's still not happy." Yeah we should have been up 42-7 or so but had some unlucky bounces, poor decisions, and mental errors that caused it to be 24-7. It seemed to me that they were screamed at and berated for it and caused them to come out defeated and disappointed. Maybe, if this is what happened, Saban should look at praising the guys for working hard every once in a while. Don't know, just me and what I think.

Good point,I really never thought about it that way. Could explain why they were so flat to start 2nd half
