Saban: 20 percent of fans are ‘disrespectful’ and ‘don’t get it’

Nick Saban has never been afraid to speak his mind, and the Alabama coach did a lot of that during a lengthy interview with David Feherty that will air on the Golf Channel Wednesday evening.

Among the topics discussed were how Saban deals with the pressures of his job and the criticism that comes along with coaching the Crimson Tide. Saban said he doesn’t concern himself with what many fans say, because a significant portion of them are “bad fans” anyway.

“I just think that in every sport, there’s about 20 percent bad fans,” Saban said, per Luke Kerr-Dineen of For the Win.
