Crazy Nick Saban Really Needs You To Settle The F— Down


Alabama coach Nick Saban is hard to please. That, of course, is part of what makes him so good – the never-satisfied relentless pursuit of perfection that would put Lexus to shame. But sometimes, it gets to a point where you start thinking, “Come on, man – isn’t there something to be happy about?” For example, remember the Gatorade shower when Alabama won the national title in 2010, and how it was impossible to imagine any national-championship-winning coach looking less pleased?

RELATED: After a loss last season, Saban didn’t hold back in saying just how far his team had to go.

Well, the gif you see above isn’t quite on that scale, but still: even with his Crimson Tide holding a 24-10 advantage over Florida on the road, Saban had some very…emphatic instructions for quarterback A.J. McCarron. In fairness, the Nicktator did have this to say after the game:

“We showed the maturity to overcome the adversity we created for ourselves. I liked our resiliency. This is about as good as it gets.”

OK, so he at least found some reason for satisfaction. We can’t help, though, but think of some instances where Nick Saban’s advice might have been most useful for…Nick Saban.

    Saban does not want his quarterbacks to get so emotional during a game. Its all good for pretty much any other player but he wants his qb on an even keel especially with another half to go
