Quotes

"The fact that a situation is adverse doesn’t alter that determination. If anything, it amplifies the will to win". - Nick Saban

"Excellence doesn’t happen overnight. It comes from hard work, consistency, the drive to be the best, and a passion for what you do". - Nick Saban

"There's no substitute for guts". - Paul Bear Bryant

"Hell, no! A tie is like kissing your sister!" After being asked if he had considered going for a field goal when trailing by three points. - Paul Bear Bryant

"Who was ranked there last year at this time. Does anybody know?" Saban said. "Who was leading the marathon in the Olympics halfway through. Can anybody tell me? They didn't win. It doesn't matter. Nobody remembers. Nobody cares, so it doesn't matter. I know you're going to ask me about it, but I'm going to answer it the same way." - Nick Saban

Prior to last years Iron Bowl ('08) Coach Saban was overheard saying, “Don’t you know how much I f***in’ hate these guys?”
