Title: Saban wins press conference -- and we're reminded of impact at both LSU and Alab Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on January 09, 2012, 12:39:17 PM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/01/a_refreshingly_charming_nick_s.html
Quote Nick Saban won the pregame press conference. It wasn't even a unanimous decision. It was a knockout. Saban, the man with a sandpaper personality, shared the day with Les Miles, the affable, occasionally bumbling man who seems lifted from a primetime sitcom. Saban was charming, funny and glib. In contrast, Miles, the LSU coach, came across as desperate for love and striving to use corporate-speak as the fifth suit down the line in one of the endless series of Republican debates. Saban is not easy to like. Especially if one carries a press card in his or her wallet. He is impossible not to respect. The plain fact is, neither Alabama nor LSU would be playing in tonight's title game without Saban. |
