Wait, what? Saban thanks the media
Alabama coach Nick Saban is not commonly considered to be a media-friendly type of guy.
He even acknowledge as much at the conclusion of his podium session at the SEC media days Wednesday. But he went on to acknowledge the work of the media.
“First of all, I’d like — in closing, I’d like to thank each and every one of you,” Saban said. “I think what you do in promoting our game and the players who play it is a very important part of creating a lot of interest for our fans, and the people who support and love college football. And there’s a lot of great things that, you know, college football brings to a lot of young players and a lot of entertainment to a lot of fans.”
Saban has been been known to snap at or preach to the media.
“Even though sometimes you think I’m not in your corner, I certainly do appreciate everything that you do to promote our game and the players who play it,” Saban said. “So, thank you very much.”
