On the media. I think his point about media affecting the team is pretty valid though.

I hate Alabama but I love this! You have to respect Nick Saban as a coach.

I wonder if Wes or Ryan wouldn've asked a question after that? WOW! Thanks for sharing, BOB. +1

Here's a piece that puts the rant into perspective.

Why does Nick Saban rant? He is who he is

The Alabama coach really doesn't need to use the media to reach his team.

Saban can do that because he knows he can get away with it. I don't really disagree with him though. What I thought was funny was how everyone was scared to ask a question afterward...Just once i want a reporter to raise his hand and ask "So coach, who pissed in your wheaties this morning?"...Now that would be worth watching!

Ya, sounds like the media is helping his players get the big head after week one.
