...
-- Saban wants to make fans happy during homecoming. The 2009 national championship team will be honored. “Probably a really special team to me,” he said. “The only one that went undefeated.” ...

-- Evan Neal has gotten “better and better” since camp and each game he has played.

-- Asked about avoiding pass interference penalties, Saban said they try to get players to play the ball. “It’s probably the greatest judgment call in football,” he said. ...

-- Trevon Diggs is most effective when he plays with good eye control and discipline, and he has done that more this year than before.

-- Mac Jones needs to be the leader of the team and take it over. “When you’re the backup player, you’re a little bit like the sparring partner,” he said. “You can’t be that anymore. You’re the lead fighter. You’re the top dog. You have to take command. ...

Saban said Jones has responded “really well” and practiced “pretty well” the last couple of days.

...

-- Other players will need to step up around Mac Jones. Saban said Jones cannot be blamed for two dropped passes in the game against Tennessee.

-- Asked about Taulia Tagovailoa getting a chance to play against Arkansas to expedite his development, Saban gave an impassioned answer about wanting to win the game and only playing players who will “expedite winning the game.”

I can imagine when these reporters ask Coach Saban questions that sets him off on his rants, after he walks out the other reporters look at him/her with disgust and say, "Thanks a lot!" and roll their eyes as they all leave the room...  :lol3:

 :lol:  You know it happens, too!   :lol2:

Further, keep in mind what Saban just saw in the Wednesday practice.  Taulia was less than accurate in his passing.

I'm thinking they love it.  Saban's rants make good press.  That's what you see on the news.
