Congratulations to Alabama coach Nick Saban who this week compared his teams loss to Louisiana-Monroe in equal catastrophic terms to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor...
Alabama’s latest loss has coach Nick Saban searching for ways to motivate his team.
Citing the 9-11 terrorist attacks and Pearl Harbor, Alabama coach Nick Saban said Monday his team must rebound like America did from a “catastrophic event.”
In this case, that would be an embarrassing 21-14 loss Saturday to Louisiana-Monroe.
“Changes in history usually occur after some kind of catastrophic event,” Saban said during the opening remarks of his weekly news conference. “It may be 9-11, which sort of changed the spirit of America relative to catastrophic events. Pearl Harbor kind of got us ready for World War II, or whatever, and that was a catastrophic event.”
