I've always like Saban but he's really gone overboard with the grumpy old man schtick. Every interview I see of him, he's basically acting like it's such a chore to coach a team to a National Champioship game and admonishing the media for daring to ask his players how they feel about being favored.
Thanks for the link. Better than the Dallas Morning news article yesterday where Sherrington likened Saban to General Patton and Mack to Captian Kangaroo.
Mack used to be more Saban-like. However, he's learned that while discipline is very important, so is staying loose. I wouldn't be surprised if 'Bama comes out tight tomorrow night and has a slow start as a result.
