Nick Saban Tried Quotations

We've tried to make a plan on how we would operate if we do have an agreement, how it would that impact our ability to make improvements to the team. All we can do is manage the situation the best we can.

We tried to put ourselves in a position that that wouldn't be a factor for us right now.

We tried to create a little bit of an identity as a team today. I'm proud of the effort that we put in and the way we persevered and overcame adversity. The big thing that this team did today was they had a little tenacity, a little perseverance. And I think that's something you definitely need in this league relative to the competitive balance and what you have to do to win games.

Personally, I hate to release any of the guys. I feel like this is our team. These guys have been here. They've worked hard. They've all made a tremendous commitment and sacrifice to trying to make the team. I have a lot of respect for what they've tried to do and feel badly that every guy can't, maybe, realize his dreams.

It really goes back to the way I've always tried to teach, ... A lot of people teach players what to do. Some people teach players how to do it. But not everyone always teaches someone why it's important to do it that way.

I tried to escape yesterday before the wind started blowing so I could come here where we had a generator and watch film and work during the storm,

I really tried to make this about our team, coming back here to play, I really do feel this was coming home to play a game and it was exciting for me. It was exciting to be back in Tiger Stadium.
