ATLANTA — Alabama’s Bryce Young won the Heisman Trophy in 2021. Now he’s the first quarterback since Jameis Winston in 2014 to return and play for a bona fide national championship contender. At SEC Media Days, somebody asked Nick Saban how Young can be better.
“I think that one of the most important things for Bryce, or any player who has success, is to understand that success is not a continuum,” Saban said Tuesday in downtown Atlanta. “Success is momentary.”
That might be the case at other programs. It’s not true for Alabama with Saban in charge. Success has been permanent for the Crimson Tide while serous challenges have been temporary. National championships are the standard at Alabama, and it’s rare that Saban’s team isn’t playing for a title.
