Nick Saban Says Alabama Team Didn't Test His Patience Because He Doesn't 'Have Any'

Alabama head football coach Nick Saban commented Thursday on the trials and tribulations the Crimson Tide went through this season en route to becoming the No. 1 team in the nation.

According to ESPN's Chris Low, Saban was asked by a reporter if the team tested his patience this season, to which Saban responded: "I don't have any patience, so anything that happens is a test of my patience, including sitting in this chair right now."

After going undefeated and winning a national championship last season, the Tide lost to Texas A&M in October and were in danger of potentially missing the College Football Playoff.
