Nick Saban Gets Angry At Running Back By Committee Question

Poor Heather Cox, she had no idea that her question [which was more like a compliment] to Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban at halftime would cause him to get angry.

Cox asked “how running back by committee has really helped the offense,” because three different backs combined for 126 yards and a touchdown in the first half.

Saban’s response is classic Saban.

“Well, you know, I don’t think its running back by committee. I think its a lot of good players getting an opportunity to play. So, you know, I don’t know what’s wrong with that.”

There is nothing wrong with that, Nick. It was a compliment.
