Nick Saban might not have been pulling for the Georgia Bulldogs to beat Alabama final Saturday, however he nonetheless had a message for Kirby Sensible as soon as the sport was over.
On Saturday’s version of “Faculty GameDay,” Saban revealed he despatched a textual content message to Sensible, his former assistant, following Georgia’s 41-34 loss to the Crimson Tide. The very Saban-esque message was to remind Sensible that Georgia’s season was removed from over and a loss like that would even be helpful down the street.
“Hey, this isn’t the worst factor that’s ever occurred,” Saban wrote to Sensible, by way of Mike Rodak of 247 Sports activities. “Most of our greatest groups misplaced a recreation someplace alongside the road and so they responded the suitable approach, as a result of we had actually good management on the group that held folks accountable to do issues the best way you wanted to do it to have success.”
Saban just isn’t unsuitable, particularly since one loss is much less more likely to break a complete season with a 12-team Faculty Soccer Playoff. Sensible coached below Saban at Alabama from 2007 to 2015, so whereas these groups didn’t lose many video games, those they did lose definitely labored as motivation the remainder of the best way.
Sensible might not have acquired that textual content if Saban was nonetheless teaching, however to paraphrase his personal phrases, it is perhaps like getting some comfort from Darth Vader.
