As Nick Saban has gotten older, he has appeared to keep his composure more often instead of getting heated at his teams on the sidelines. That doesn’t seem to be a coincidence.
The Alabama head coach explained that he as been trying to keep calm for years, but it usually depends on how his team would respond.
“This has been a lifelong sort of goal to not get too emotional, not get too upset. I think that sometimes it’s the kind of team you have,” he said, via Saturday Down South. “Some guys really need you to get on them. Some guys get… a little upset, maybe, and don’t respond when you get on them. It bothers them a lot.”
