Saban said Monday it was his decision not to make McCarron available for more interviews despite requests. He was asked to clarify his policy Wednesday.


"I'm really concerned with what I think is best for our players at this point in time," Saban said. "AJ has done a really good job of being able to stay focused on what he needs to do to prepare for games. I just feel like one of these days it will be fine for him to speak publicly."


McCarron has started every game this fall essentially winning the competition after the first game. For the season, McCarron is 98-for-150 passing for 1,156 yards and eight touchdowns. He currently has a streak of 127 consecutive pass attempts without an interception.


McCarron also set career-highs in a 34-0 win against Vanderbilt. He finished that game 23-for-30 passing for 237 yards and four touchdowns.

"I'm not trying to penalize you guys," Saban said to reporters. "I'm trying to do what's best for his development as a player so that he can focus on the things that he needs to focus on or minimize what he needs to worry about.
