Nick Saban self scouts; finds out why people thinks he’s a ‘dick’

“I think you learn that more by analyzing a player’s strength and weaknesses,” Saban said. “I don’t think you get that necessarily from (self-scout), you know what I’m saying? (His daughter) Kristen knows that Terry Grant’s a better outside runner than jimmy johns. [Now he starts to smile] I mean, you don’t need a computer for that.”

I would think that’s why you don’t use the toss more with CO than with JC. Someone get GD a computer…..or some new fucking glasses.

From the blog:

“”On D, you’re always trying to stay ahead of the down and distance, aight?” Saban said. “So a successful play on 1st-and-10 is to make it 2nd-and-7. A successful play on 2nd-and-10 is to make it 3rd-and-4 or more. But how you call the game and what you’re defending kind of determines that, too. In other words, if you’re calling pass defense on 2nd-and-10 and they run the ball, you’re going to be softer against the run than if you called a run defense on 1st-and10. So a successful play on that call might be a 5-yard gain, where a 3-yard gain on the other call is the minimum of success.”"

To Greg Davis, a successful play is making it to 3rd and 8.

Every day is Christmas when you’re Greg Davis.
