You know life is good when a 10-3 season is considered a disappointment. But that’s how high Nick Saban has set the bar with the Crimson Tide football program. After winning the BCS championship in 2009, Saban’s squad lost three SEC tilts last year, though all were quality opponents (South Carolina, LSU and eventual champion Auburn). That’s not good enough though in Tuscaloosa, particularly that late season loss to the Tigers. Saban has built up a massive reservoir of good will though, make no mistake about it. ‘Bama fans are just ready to see their team back atop the conference standings after experiencing some growing pains as a young squad last season.
Saban joined 790 The Zone in Atlanta to talk about the struggles of last year’s team, how tough of a challenge it is mentally to stay on top, why he thinks the SEC West is as tough and deep as it’s ever been, the devastating storms that ripped through the state and killed over 100 folks this spring, why the football season can hopefully be in some way therapeutic for those affected by the tragedy, and how his team needs to be better at the intangibles this season if they’re going to win close games and accomplish the goals they’ve set for themselves.
