Look, Saban is as successful as anyone who has ever coached in the game of College Football. I'm not denying that. The guy can coach. But he has the worst case of little man's disease I have ever seen.

Maria Taylor asked him a completely reasonable question about the Alabama quarterbacks:
"What answers did you have about your quarterbacks after watching both of them play tonight"?
But Saban, after giving a pretty standard but reasonable response, cannot suppress his inner jackass any longer and goes on to say:
"A'ight, so why do you continually try to get me to say something that doesn't respect one of them? I'm not going to, so quit asking!"

There was nothing, and I mean NOTHING in Maria's question that would provoke any type of "disrespect" towards either player. Nicky, why can't you just answer the question and give a few positives about either or both players and be done with it? Why can't you, for once in your miserable life, NOT be a F***ing A$$$$le towards someone asking you a reasonable question?

Seriously, throughout the history of college football, many successful coaches have figured out how to use the media as allies to help promote their program. Saban, as good as he is at coaching, just can't figure that part out. That's why he's so quick to go on the defensive and become such a complete jackass. He's absolutely miserable.
