Alabama's Nick Saban Admits That He's A Poor Motivator
Nick Saban doesn't do a whole lot to discredit the stereotype of him being an egotistical jerk-wad who just also happens to be a successful college football coach. I'm sure at some level someone outside of the state of Alabama thinks highly of the guy but it seems like every time he's opened his mouth recently it has angered people.
