“The moment I stop having fun with it, I’ll be done with it.”
This song lyric comes Grammy-winning rap artist, Aubrey “Drake” Graham and it epitomizes where Nick Saban is in his coaching career. He has won five national championships at Alabama and six overall, but he is not done being competitive.
Saban wants to continue having his foot on everyone’s neck and prove he is still king of college football. Not being afraid to learn, grow and evolve is a huge part of the process. His role as a perfectionist is still causing him to attack weaknesses and maneuver in ways that will benefit the program and keep it atop the mountain.
