Nick Saban has been a visionary when it comes to coaching elite superstars in his esteemed coaching career in NFL and college football. He is widely known for having strong work ideals, even if it cost him his reputation among some specific players in the big league. The poker-faced head coach never steered away from his values, something that helped his name become a brand over the years. It is always Nick Saban’s intangibles over his high-flying six-championship record in Tuscaloosa. However, when it comes to becoming an analyst, Saban nearly failed to maintain some of his neutral attitude toward teams. Thanks to the current catastrophe over Kirk Herbstreit served as a strong wake-up call to the West Virginia native.

Since Saban has brought his talent to the broadcasting team at this point, he has started to be more vocal about his stances on the players, coaches, and teams for obvious reasons. He recently defended Ryan Day amidst the huge backlash before the college football playoff national championship game. He hates how Day gets judged even after doing everything for a program over 12-14 years in his career. He said the media is a crap, spreading negativity all around.

Capitalizing on his stance, Nick Saban said during the latest episode of The Pivot podcast, ‘It creates interest for fans and everybody but there’s also a side of it where they’re going to judge you for almost everything that you do and that’s the thing that I never wanted to affect the players you know what I mean if you’re getting criticized because you missed a tackle or you didn’t do, you know, something or the quarterback played bad.

Saban had a rowdy image, especially in the NFL. Not everybody can match his ethics and work ideals in the field. But don’t let it confuse you. Saban hates diminishing players publicly in front of the media. ”I never wanted the players to get criticized, and that affected who they were and their performance and that type of thing, so that’s what I meant by that, the blueblood coach continued. The context hit after the host dragged recent hot air surrounding Kirk Herbstreit’s alleged bias over Ohio State.
