Crimson Tide coach made his weekly appearance on Pat McAfee Show on ESPN
Alabama quarterback Jake Coker, shown here in the 2015 SEC championship game vs. Florida, led the Crimson Tide to a national championship after an early-season loss to Ole Miss. Nick Saban famously doesn’t like to make comparisons between current teams and players and those from the past, but he did say Thursday that the current Alabama team had a similar characteristic to one of his six past national championship teams with the Crimson Tide.
He also noted that the 2022 Alabama team, which was considered thee national championship favorite headed into the season, didn’t play well late in the year or late in games. “We had a really good team last year, but in a couple of games that we lost, we didn’t manage ‘hard’ at the end of the game very well. We made some mistakes that helped the other team and had to live with the consequences. This team so far has been able to manage really, really well and make some of the best plays in critical situations in the game, which when you have great competitive character, that’s what you have an ability to do.
