00:00 >> I would say, I'm in the middle, man.
00:03 I don't know if y'all saw that picture of him.
00:07 We had that rain delay against USA.
00:09 >> Yeah. >> I kind of knew something was up.
00:11 >> Yeah.
00:11 >> But I mean, it's like anything, if you can't give us your full goal,
00:16 you're never gonna cheat the game.
00:18 And I feel like once he realized he couldn't give his full goal,
00:22 it was time for him to step away.
00:24 And then, I mean, he's been doing it for a long time.
00:26 You realize there's a lot more than football is family.
00:30 And as you get older, you become more appreciative of things.
00:33 So nobody can fault him for this issue.
00:35 >> What's interesting is that both of them said the same thing.
00:40 I thought he coached forever.
00:42 Cuz you see it's a legend when you come in, and you just figure he'll always be there.
00:46 >> Right.
00:47 >> Right?
00:47 >> I mean, all good things gotta come to an end.
00:50 I mean, I'm pretty sure people, you know,
00:54 the same way when the Golden Girls, all the good things gotta come to an end.
01:01 I mean, I was shocked for the guys who ended up coming in.
01:05 But at the end of the day, Alabama is a factory, and it's gonna keep pushing.
01:11 If you hold on to the values that he instilled while he was there,
01:15 it can keep going.
01:18 >> Justin, what are some of the most valuable life lessons that Nick Saban
01:20 taught you that you're gonna carry with you, not just for
01:22 your future football career, but for the rest of your life?
01:25 >> I mean, each and every day you have a chance to get better or get worse.
01:29 You're never gonna stay the same.
01:32 What you make of each day is what you make of it.
01:36 Either you're gonna take the chance to get better, or
01:37 you're gonna take the chance to get worse.
01:38 You're never gonna stay the same.
