Never satisfied. Demands perfection. Sabanesque qualities. THIS is what a future championship coach sounds like.

Quotes and comments From Will Wade’s presser yesterday.
quote:

For being such an analytics guy, rankings and past victories don’t move the meter for Wade. Told his team was ranked in the top 10, Wade responded with a mostly sarcastic, “Great. We were 13 last week. What’s the difference between this week and last week? We’ve just got to keep getting better. When you get up there, there’s a lot thinner margins. That’s not what we do it for.”

quote:

Wade has that Sabanesque quality about him, like a shark constantly moving through the water. You won last game? You’re highly ranked? Do better next time.

quote:

“They beat us every which way you could beat us when we played them a couple weeks ago. I got outcoached, we got outplayed. It was a total, total beat down,” Wade said. A total, total beatdown? In a game that went to overtime?

quote:

"You guys know how much I love consistency. If you win your regular season conference championship, that means you’re consistent.” Wade is consistent, too, in his message. You’ve done well so far? Great. Do better next time.

I read this in the paper and figured someone would link it eventually. My favorite part was the "do better" motto.

Great.

Do better next time.

It's always about being better everyday. It's something I've always tried to instill in my kid.

Will Wade is a great HC. I hope he will stay at LSU for 20+ years.

I totally agree that Wade isn't the prick that Saban is. But there are similarities in their philosophies and quickly building a new culture for a championship program, like when Saban was at LSU.

Although what Wade is doing may end up being more impressive b/c he had less to work with than Saban when he got here.

Who says you have to be a nice guy? Its about them rings baw. If Saban were at LSU instead of Bama, you wouldn't have shite to say about him. Thats 100.

With the current football coaching situation, we’ll never beat Alabama and compete for a NC. If we’re going to mediocre in football, id rather pay a coach $1million a year and give the excess money to Wade. He can absolutely bring national titles to LSU. I can’t say that about the current football coach.

He may win a championship, but it’s going to be tough to do that at Clemson with Duke, Carolina and Virginia in his conference. Time will tell. Perhaps he can go to UNC, though, if Williams is on his way out.

And how many other coaches have beaten Saban? Get real with your accusations
Guess you’re too young to remember the Bear Bryant days too.
