I didn’t read the article, I just read the text underneath, which I thought was yours since it wasn’t within a quote box. I’ve added an ‘@“ so Ramzy can see my comments.

Unless you're an Auburn or LSU fan(or whomever has some rivalry with Bama), Idk how you can't respect Saban. He doesn't come off as a douchey know it all like Belichek, he doesn't seem holier than thou like Dabo, he doesn't come off like a used car salesman like the rest of the SEC coaches, and he doesn't come off like an awww shucks I'm just a ball coach like a lot of other CFB coaches. He doesn't sugarcoat anything, not to the media, the fans or his own players

Everything Nick Saban said after Alabama's 10th spring practice
Alabama coach Nick Saban spoke to reporters via Zoom on Wednesday following the 10th practice of the spring. Below is everything Saban said during his virtual media availability.
"We got 10 practices in now. One of the things that we want to see is individual players improve, improve their ability to play winning football fundamentals. But I also think we're trying to develop some team dynamics, some team chemistry, looking for people who put team first. Guys that understand that what you did last year really is not going to create any value for what you do this year, or help you play better this year, but it's going to be based on what you do to create positive outcomes for yourself this year by paying attention to detail, doing little things right, playing with discipline, holding each other accountable to the standards that they all know that we expect from them day in and day out, being positive, not being negative, set a good example for each other and they have great examples on this team of some of the things that we had on last year's team, which was all about intangibles, it was all about leadership, it was all about holding people accountable. So I think that's part of the development that we want to have in spring practice as a team, as well as just running plays improving learning assignments, learning what to do, how to do it, why it's important to do it that way. And I do see improvement.
"The last two practices, I think you see a lot of young guys who were very apprehensive and unsure, uncertain about what they were supposed to do so they didn't play fast in the last scrimmage. I see those guys starting to get a little more confidence, and I think they've learned a lot from the first time in the stadium, first time in the scrimmage, first time being in a live situation in college football for a lot of them so you look for great improvement from the first scrimmage to the second scrimmage. And certainly that's going to be our goal for this one. One of the things that does cause a little bit of confusion this time in the spring is it's almost like we have double install. We're still gonna put in some things, the offense is putting more and more things, we have to play against more and more things on both sides of the ball, but at the same time, we spend time working on opponents and things that we don't see from our offense so we're putting a plan in for that too so it can be a little bit of a burden for especially some of the younger players, it's a lot for them to absorb each and every practice but at least we're getting exposure to it. So when we have to play against that next year it's not going to be all new for them.
"So we're looking forward to a much better scrimmage. We'll have kind of a -- Friday's practice will be sort of polished, not put a lot of stuff in, try to get guys to understand what we're going to do so that they can go out there and play fast and we can make some improvement as a team."
ON PLAYERS WAITING THEIR TURNS SETTING EXAMPLES...
"I don't really talk to players that much about trusting the process. I talk to players about the importance of focusing on development. You might see that as a similar thing, or maybe even the same. But I think everybody needs to have the ability to self-assess, to figure out, 'OK, here's where I'm at.' That's the only way you can improve if you can self-assess. And then you kind of help the coaches help you to find what you need to do to actually improve so that you can become a better player. We want everybody to play early. That's our goal. We've played a lot of freshmen here. We've had a lot of freshmen start for us and play very well. But at the same time, we have a responsibility and obligation not to put a guy out there when he's not ready to go play with confidence, be confident in what he's doing so he can go play fast and create value for himself. So we want players to focus on development, not outcomes. Outcomes can be distractions, so we want them to focus on what they need to do to get the outcome, and their ability to self-assess helps their learning curve, I think."

He has some problems admitting when he just got straight up beat (or almost beat)......but it happens so infrequently maybe he just doesn't have enough practice at it yet. Agree with what you said, and also what Nutriaitch said.

I have misplaced my pants.
I think he had some really good ones:
"We didn't want to be playing this game." (His team lost to Utah or or Hawaii someone in a non-championship bowl game.) (Or was this against Oklahoma?)
"We didn't practice very hard since Ohio State was going to be starting their third-string quarterback."
"We didn't try very hard because we were thinking about saving ourselves for the draft."
"Their quarterback was hitting our guys too hard." Okay - this wasn't Saban. I think it was one of their players. And he might not have been complaining about Jones - I forget. But I seem to remember "They were hitting us too hard" in the whinery.

RULING: Not a cheap shot.
After further review, it’s been determined that Ohio State did not go out of their way to cheap shot Landon Collins and his injured shoulder. It turns out that the Buckeyes have some football players that are more than capable of creating big hits during the course of just about any play. If Collins didn’t like it, maybe he should’ve done something about it when he had a chance during the single biggest play of either team’s season:

Yep. Bama stops that 1st down, and THIS doesn't happen on the next play.

I hear you, he definitely has had his fair share of whining after big losses. But the man has more rings than whiney losses. I'm sure any of us would take that any day of the week...
And not a cheap shot, Collins just got trucked
