Nick Saban
We create a standard for how we want to do things and everybody's got to buy into that standard or you really can't have any team chemistry. Mediocre people don't like high-achievers and high-achievers don't like mediocre people.

Every choice, every decision, everything we do everyday, we want to be a champion
Nick Saban
When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish. Whether it's make good grades in school, be a good athlete, be a good person, go down and do some community service and help somebody who's in need, whatever it is you choose to do, you're investing your time in that.
Nick Saban
Anyone who doesn't win their conference has no business playing in the national championship game.
Nick Saban
I'm tired of hearing all this talk from people who don't understand the process of hard work-like little kids in the back seat asking 'Are we there yet?' Get where you're going 1 mile-marker at a time.
Nick Saban
College football is the only game in the country, of any kind, that the college game is longer than the pro game.
Nick Saban
The difference nowadays is that when I go on vacation I work some of the time rather than all of the time.
Nick Saban
I don't think I'm complicated at all. I'm not political, and I'm not trying to be diplomatic. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, and I don't say bad things about people. There is no agenda. There's no trying to fool somebody.
