Can anyone guess who said this?
“They’re not perfect, they’re just college students, they go to school everyday, they gotta study, they have to run extra after practice when they miss study hall. I mean, c’mon, gimme a break, this is not professional football. These guys aren’t getting paid to play here. They’re representing you all, you should be proud and happy to support them, and appreciate what they do and have some gratitude. And you know what else, nobody wants to win worse than they do. Not me. Not you, I don’t care what kinda fan you are, nobody wants to win more than the players that play. Nobody.”
Sorry, Southern. That would have been my guess too! This was spoken by a current coach.
Nick Saban.
He also gave his QB much praise in a losing effort the other night. Nick knows what buttons to push with these kids and he is a great coach.
