Alabama coach Nick Saban brought back his infamous metaphor on Thursday night while discussing the upcoming college football season.
Alabama faces Utah State on Saturday for its first 2022 season game, yet the focus of questions Saban answers are on the team’s Week 2 game against Texas.
The 70-year-old refers to this outside media noise as “rat poison,” because the questions on games far in the future and other outside narratives distract his team from the upcoming game. He brought his famous phrase back while speaking on the Hey Coach and the Nick Saban Show on Thursday.
