Alabama Football: Nick Saban explained what went wrong in 2018

Nick Saban spoke to the Alabama Football Coaches Association (AFCA) recently and his comments about the importance of relationships between players and coaches got considerable attention on Twitter. A video of some of those comments is included near the end of this post.

Before diving into what Nick Saban said, a quick review of Nick Saban as a master communicator. Saban is a wordsmith. The same discipline he teaches Alabama football players is applied to all his public utterances. There is a purpose behind everything he says.

When he spoke to the AFCA coaches, his purpose was to educate, to enlighten, to stress important tools in leading young men.
