I've been a huge Nick Saban fan every since I was a little boy growing up and trying to figure this whole college football thing out
Young man, we'd like you to sign this letter detailing the ways we've violated NCAA Bylaws. Here's one copy for you, and one copy for the Atlanta Journal and Constitution.
on the road recruiting all week with Nick Saban
I don't think anyone will know who the legitimate national champion is unless all three teams in consideration get the opportunity to play one another
Nick Saban has proven himself as a football coach and you will get no argument that his teams are some of the best coached in college football ... We've got a huge challenge on our hands just to be in the ballgame and not be completely embarrassed. They are so far superior at every position. I don't kno...
All I know is that after being in this league for 10 years, there are a lot of good football players, teams and programs. Competition in this league is very difficult ... It's something great to be a part of. Anywhere you go it is going to be a difficult place to play in this conference. I would think t...
When our people in our organization do a great job for us, and what they're working for is to become a head coach, and they have an opportunity to do that, we want to be very, very supportive in helping them do that
The whole thing should be based on who are the best two teams
This is the time of year when championships can get won or lost, how you manage these weeks where you're not practicing every day like you're used to for the whole season ... It's what you eat, what you drink, how you work out, academics. Just every choice and decision that you make needs to be a good o...
Sal has done a really good job of recruiting, and he's a guy that would make a good head coach some place
I'm not appearing anywhere to campaign. If you get asked to be on any of these things, it's great exposure for the University and the program
Leadership is really an important part of being a head of anything, a business or whatever it is, and I think Kirby is a great leader
He’ll be the first one to tell you that the offensive line does a pretty good job of getting the blocks up front, and that is why he has so much success
If somebody does that, I guess it's their choice
We don't know what the future holds for us, but I think it's going to be a huge stage regardless of what happens in terms of the BCS game
If somebody does that, I guess it's their choice to do it
If they do, we'll deal with it when they do
I'm sure he's excited about it, and I'm excited for him that he has an opportunity to go back to his home state and be the head coach here ... I think it's a wonderful opportunity and I think he'll do a great job.
I don't think there are really any words to describe how proud I am of our players ... I think we have a great football team, a great bunch of young men who have done a wonderful job and they have played some really dominant football on both sides of the ball.
You love saying that about someone who is such a good person and someone who does so much to serve other people ... He is a great teammate. He is a leader. He cares about everyone around him.
This team lost one game in overtime to a very, very good team who’s No. 1 right now, and we lost in overtime
When we call plays, the quarterback reads where he's going to throw the ball based on what the defense does ... So it's not like you call a play that we're going to throw the ball to the tight end this time. But AJ has a lot of confidence in the tight ends.
That was a big play, a really big play ... The two-point conversion (that followed) was big, too, because of the (margin of the) numbers.
This team lost one game in overtime to a very, very good (LSU), who is No. 1 right now ... We lost in overtime. So everybody has to make their own choices and decisions about that. ... I think we deserve an opportunity, the best opportunity that's out there for them.
