Saban’s mad his team didn’t dominate.

Kelly’s mad folks pointed that out.

That’s the difference between polishing trophies and polishing excuses.

BK: "Judge me in year 3"

BK after year 3: "You guys are spoiled!"

One is about trying to get to be the best team you can be. Get there and strive to stay there, and the wins will come. Winning is a by product of performing each play to your best. Small details.

The other is winning is all that matters. Big details.

The biggest enemy of winning the next game is winning the last one.

There is a reason these cliches exist.

Almost posted this yesterday. This is what the Sunshine Pumpers don’t understand. It’s not just about winning, it’s how you win because eventually you’re going to run up against a team that’s as talented as you are.

And when that happens, everything has to click like a machine.

Why can’t more coaches be like this???

BK's biggest accomplishment was beating a more talented Bama team in 2022 because Saban is 10x the coach the BK is.

Mean Girl Rant is gonna bank once the Coach Carousel starts.

Nothing but shite posting hate on every Coach from here on out because they're stuck on Saban. Bunch of stunted minions with man caves jealous of their rivalry's successes rather focus investing a foundation for a football program. Whaaa! I want it now!

All day long. Kelly sucks but we're in a different era. I don't know if Saban's methods work for today's game. Players getting paid and the portal makes it hard to build a team culture of accountability. MAYBE that's why we're seeing teams like Indiana and Vandy having success. Smaller payroll, players there for more than a paycheck.

Waiting on Saban to write a book. I'll definitely buy it.

Kinda like they did beating Kelly in the National Championship game that was over before it started?
Kelly was exposed then.

Accountability and having a standard. Real coaches don’t make excuses because they fix the issues. Mediocre coaches make excuses because they can’t fix the issues.
