Nick Saban wins a lot of games, but he’s still a dick…

Saban commenting on QB Blake Barnett’s decision to transfer from Alabama:

Saban later expounded on the topic of midseason transfers — while not specifically mentioning Barnett by name — on his weekly radio show.

“It’s one of those things where I think the culture has changed a little bit,” Saban said.

“There’s certain pride people have in competition. There’s certain things I was taught growing up about not quitting and seeing things through. I think if I’d come home and told my dad that I was going to quit the team, I think he’d have kicked me out of the house. I don’t think I’d have had a place to stay. Sometimes you didn’t have the choices.”

Wonder what Saban’s father thought of Nick’s decision to quit on the Miami Dolphins midstream. Seems like it worked out OK for Nicky.
