Nick Saban on being a football coach

On 'The Pat McAfee Show', legendary football coach Nick Saban shared insights into his coaching philosophy. He is currently steering the Alabama Crimson Tide to a No. 11 ranking with a 5-1 record.

Talking to Pat McAfee, he delved into what fuels his passion for coaching. Former college and NFL coach Chuck Pagano asked about his favorite part of coaching. Saban, 71, explained his intrinsic link between coaching and teaching. According to Saban,

“I really think coaching is teaching," Saban added. "Teaching is the ability to inspire learning. The thing that I like most about coaching is relationships with the players. Trying to teach them, to help them to be a version of themselves. Whether it's personally, academically or, obviously in coaching, it's athletically on the field in terms of what you can help them do to get better. I really enjoy that.”

However, drawing from his extensive 50-year coaching career, Saban also pointed out the challenges. He says:

“I think maybe one of the most disappointing things is when you have a guy that has ability, and you want him to sort of improve and take advantage of that ability that he has and the talent that God has given him, and he doesn't want it as bad as you want it.”

Despite these challenges, Saban genuinely enjoys the teaching aspect of coaching. Even at such an age, his passion for the game hasn’t dimmed a bit.
