What did Nick Saban tell the basketball team this week?

Transcript

00:00 >> Coach, you mentioned on the radio before this, you guys brought in Coach

00:04 Stanton to speak to the team.

00:06 Why did you do that?

00:07 What did you want to tell the team yesterday?

00:09 >> I mean, he's to me maybe the best team coach of any team sport in modern

00:16 college sports history, and he's right here.

00:21 I talked to him shortly after he retired.

00:23 He told me when he's gonna come back to town.

00:25 I asked him if he wouldn't mind speaking to the team when he came back to town.

00:29 So this was in the window, we kinda had the week off between games.

00:33 I thought it'd be good for our guys to hear from a respected coach like him on

00:39 what it took to win, he was great at turning out NFL players.

00:45 He's great, he said I don't know much about basketball,

00:50 but here's what I can apply for football.

00:53 I thought he was really good.

00:54 I mean, he's obviously won a ton of games.

00:57 I've tried to learn as much as I can from him.

01:00 I was fortunate that I was able to spend five football seasons with him here and

01:05 learned a little bit.

01:07 I'm sure if he's around here, I'm gonna keep picking his brain,

01:09 see if he can keep talking to our team as the years go on.

01:11 >> Exactly, Blake.

01:13 >> Thanks, Coach.
