Nick Saban's vocal support for his team

In the video posted by Kristen, Nick Saban, who has coached the Crimson Tide for 17 years, pointed out that no one was more keen on winning than his players.

"Proud and happy to support them and appreciate what they do and have some gratitude. You know what else? Nobody wants to win worse than they do, not me, not you; I don't care what kind of fan you are. Nobody wants to win more than the players that play."

Saban also hit out at the critics and said they did not need to point fingers at his players as they already felt bad after a crushing defeat:

"Nobody feels worse than they do when they lose...nobody. For all you self-absorbed folks out there, who can't look past your own self, appreciate what other people are doing."
