Nick Saban headlined an event in Alabama, where the retired coach shared stories about some of the challenges he faced during his time in college football.
Nick Saban shocked the college football world when he announced his retirement from coaching. The seven-time national championship winner has since taken on a 'supportive' role at Alabama, the program he coached to six national titles. While Saban faced challenges throughout his storied career, he also had to contend with criticism away from the field. In December, the undefeated Florida State Seminoles were left out of the top four in the College Football Playoff rankings.
'You trusting and believing and doing the right things is so much more important than what somebody else thinks,' Saban said. 'So, that was one of the most challenging things, to not let external factors — and you’ve heard me use the term ‘rat poison’ — affect what you do and how you do it.' Saban also reflected on the 'most humiliating' loss of his coaching career. 'If you remember back the first year we were at Alabama, we lost to ULM,' Saban said.
