This country doesn't "get" a guy's philosophy like Saban has. Just old school hard work. Keeping the hammer down. People/coaches/mentors like Saban are a dying breed.

Football not for everyone. It's hard to balance school and football but it's teach how to be discipline , how to manage your time and how to handle life because there will be more things you need to focus later in life .

I do not care for Saban because of what he pulled on my Dolphins but gotta give it to him those were some wise words and the truth a little hard work never hurt anyone

He never addressed the issue of how much time is actually spent as a student /athlete

If you ever wanted to know why Nick Saban is as good as he is, study this video very carefully, and you will find your answer.

Way to say it like it is and should be Coach! Go Irish!

I wasn't blessed to be 6'6" 270lbs and run a 4.4 so I didn't have these types of opportunities that Mr Rosen has. I make a halfway decent living being a union pipefitter/welder but I'd LOVE to trade places with Josh Rosen and goto a great school on a free ride and play football at this level. And if he wants to see what real life is.. he can come take my spot working 7/10s in a hot ass steam plant. I promise he would hush and go running back to being a student athlete with a smile on his face.

But you're absolutely right about him maintaining his grades along with all the demands football puts on him... and No sir, I didn't have a 4.0 but that doesn't mean I can't share my opinion.

I happen to like Nick Saban a lot. He may not be the kindest man in the world, but there is no denying that he cares about all of his players and coaches. He has given coaches second chances to redeem themselves. Bobby Bowden is still the perfect coach in my mind, but Saban is a master at running an organization like Alabama. Go Noles!!!!!!!

They have to use every spare minute for school after football but it takes dedication and determination!

Josh, UCLA do they still have a team. ROLL TIDE

All of these comments about Nick not wanting to pay the players blah blah... Nick works with a set of rules that have been given to him. Everyone gets a copy but you.

Football sat's actually don't carry that greatly from Florida to bama to UCLA. And Bama graduates their guys at a very high rate

No one ever said it would be easy. If it's too much work for you, choose one or the other.

Going to school and playing football I learned about giving 110% effort. I learned to dig down deep inside and do more than I thought I could. I became a lawyer because of football. I wanted the competition. I out worked the other lawyers and won many cases. I became the master of taking that "dead dog looser case" to trial and winning. I thank my football coaches for teaching to give 110% effort. Yes going to school and playing football is hard, life is hard, you can whine about it or buck up, dig in and win!

Considering what kind of basketball team Duke has been able to pump out year in and year out, and what kind of teams Harbaugh was able to put together in Stanford and Michigan, I think Nick Saban would have done just fine even with UCLA standard of academic standard to put championship caliber team.

People need to stop saying this guy is a great football coach. He is a great COLLEGE football coach period. If he could do this at ND where academics are well above at a higher standard than alabama, then i would be impressed. Most of those guys that play alabama cant even speak proper english

UCLA: First True Freshman to ever start at QB for UCLA, had the biggest come back win in UCLA history, his college ratings were: Freshman year 134, sophomore 138 (only played like 6 games cause he had a season ending shoulder injury and yet threw for 1900 yards in 6 games) Junior year his rating was: 137 w/ 3700 yards passing. And of course was drafted by the Cards in the first round. Wanna rethink that whole "not relevant" comment?

Nick Saban didn't say 1 word here that isn't true. I agree with him completely. However...If the cusp of the question was indeed referring to players getting paid, which maybe it wasn't?...I would be able to swallow his answer a little easier if he wasn't being an advertiser for Coke while conducting his Q & A. I mean think about it, a large number of these players come from little money, so college athletics is not just tough mentally and physically, as it should be, but it's hard financially for both player and family. Meanwhile, coach is making side money on top of his millions just by sitting a damn coke product on the stand? These kids are making a lot of people super rich while they get the "experience"? Experience reigns supreme, to be sure, but it would be a much better experience for a lot of athletes if they had a crumb from the golden table they produce for. Pay them an allotted, equal amount of living expense money. Ain't talking bout who's the highest bidder.... Then we'd end up like our government.

If you take that coke bottle away, the commercials you see, and home depot, lowes, etc.......guess what? You wont be able to watch a single game unless you buy as ticket and go to the game yourself.

the University of California ,Los Angeles shortened its name so all players White or Black could say,I play for UCLA! no spelling.

Most if not all players are there on a scholarship. Think how much a education at AU c9st per semester. So I think it equals out just fine. While the players are there they eat whatever they want. Get free team clothes etc.. Not to mention play for the greatest coach ever. ROLL TIDE

Let's not act like there aren't some dumbass people who are athletes in college and have no business being there. When I was in college I saw a lot of athletes. Some were smart but a lot of them had to cheat to pass. Some didn't even know how to read. As long as you can play ball the schools don't really care. They just want you to be eligible. Schools should actually care more about their players and actually try to get them educated. I saw some guys who played football when I was in high school go to college and end up back home in 4 years working a minimum wage job because they didn't make it to the NFL. They weren't even worried about school they just wanted to play ball. If you think this type of stuff isn't happening at every school in the country you're delusional.

lets not delude ourselves into thinking that the student athletes have the same rigor as non student athletes in courses. There is a reason so many people who could barely do standard high school course work end up having 3.5-4.0s in classes that have objectively difficult pass rates close to 25-30% when they never even show up to lecture. They are brought to the school to play sports, education is secondary and if you're good it gets taken care of. Especially considering kids I know that play in the top D1 level could barely pass FCAT their senior years are graduating with Stem degrees on top of all the time they spend playing football. It is what it is though, not to take credit from the student athletes that do work hard (the few from the big sports and most of the athletes from the less popular sports) as there most certainly are people that do.

those kind of 2 of days and stuff is fine in the old days, but nowadays players study film. they probably have more film sessions meetings now more than before. the physical workouts probably decreased, but the mental workouts probably increased, but I don think Rosen was speaking for himself. Rosen is probably fine with what he has. he comes from a wealthy background. he leans left and all that stuff. but the money that is being made in College football to pay Saban his 7-10 mil a year salary while these players get nothing is probably what is the biggest frustration is. Tebow even joked about in the Daily Show about how Urban Meyer had a million dollar bonus if they won national championship and he teased about asking Meyer for stuff. these players like get fluff classes where they probably dont even do they work. I think the UNC Chapel Hill case with the paper classes proved what we all knew. so the combo of fluff, players risking long term injury, the money the NCAA and College Coaches make (lookin at you Saban) probably lead to Rosen saying these things.

It's not like a job cause they don't pay you in money...

Rosen's not wrong. Alabama is a football factory and a degree from that "school" is a joke. If they had the admissions standards like Stanford, UCLA, Notre Dame, Michigan, etc they wouldn't have the on-field success that they've had. This goes for pretty much every school in the Southeast except UNC, Duke & Vanderbilt.

Rosen is just jealous because he plays in a sport that is considered "the other sport" at their school. It's the reverse for the cross town rival in Cardinal and Gold. And plus the fact that they beat SEC, TAMU in the opening weekend and the Aggies hung with the Tide and I'm sure that factored into the reason for his comment. Saban hit the nail on the head because in any sport their is the opportunity for the athlete to pursue an academic road that without being talented enough in that sport he would never would have walked on campus. I heard many other coaches like Bob Stoops and Mack Brown address this same issue and they said the very same thing. Plus, the fact Rosen focused on SAT scores (heck he might have scored near 1600 he's a smart cookie) but it's the grade-point average and body of study that is bigger factors than a standardized, man-made test based on the Dept of Education national standards. Plus their are many bias in the test not just racially and grade-point average and the type of degree that the student-athlete is attempting to attain is very underrated at any level.

Roll Tide.

Saban will take whatever stance benefits him and his goals!

Well said coach.

Josh Rosen is a spoiled little rich kid that has everything handed to him in life if I had a top pick I would not draft him I just don’t feel like he has that passion to be a great QB but that’s just me

As a Florida state fan I really like this gotta be honest

Who is this...Joe Rozen? and he plays for who? smh...never heard of him

Most players that do graduate do so with useless fluff degrees because the course work is a joke. For others like Rosen who's pursuing a legit degree, there is no such thing as sleep during football season. Give the kid a break when he spouts out the hypocracies built into the system to make sure the golden goose keeps delivering.
