re: Wow, I have never seen Nick Saban like this

I'm a Nick Saban Homer but watching the Press Conference is sad. He has clearly lost it.

The only explanation is that Les Miles is in his head. Nick's loss to LSU last year has affected his judgement. Last year Nick played classic Saban ball and lost when Miles pulled a rabbit out of his hat. And Saban then had to endure a year of hearing that Miles had out-coached him.

This year, Nick tried to out-hat the Mad Hatter by emulating him. He was determined that everyone would acclaim his brilliance by beating the Mad Hatter at his own game. Only to have Les beat him by playing things close to the vest.

The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. How else do you explain continuing to try long field goals on a night when your kickers clearly didn't have it in them?

Insanity. Saban is no Mad Hatter. He's just mad.
