How does the current NIL (Name, Image & Likeness) system compare with the “under the table” payments to athletes of yesteryear? Was it better to do this behind close doors or is it just to much of the Wild West?
@@JeffRimersmiddlehalf I can’t speak for off camera, but When Tua injured his hip. He could barely speak before halftime. Before that whenever Jalen Hurts came in for Tua after Tua went out with a injury and won the game. He was choking up in the post game interview and Josh Pate said he cried in the Tunnel
I respect him but he needs to stop crying about not getting into the CFP. They're expanding it to 12 next year so there's no reason for being a baby about missing 1 year after going 10-2
@@MGoBlue6969 he has a point of about strength of schedule, power rankings, and relative conference strengths though. Bama beat KState by 25 (KState went 1-1 against TCU, both close games), and then UGA blew out TCU by 58 in one of the most lopsided Natties in history. The teams that beat Bama (by 1 and 3 points at their homes on the final plays) won their bowl games against a conference champ and a division winner by 17 and 56. The SEC beat 3 of the other 4 Power 5 champs, and none of those SEC teams were even division winners... The SEC is a bloodbath every year, and with adding OU + Texas he's weary that the playoff committee won't properly judge valuable criteria moving forward, and will value silly stuff like "these teams both have 1 loss, they must be similar". We're already going to have a G5 champ with an auto-bid who will almost 100% proceed to be a dog by 21 against the first team they play.
Coach Saban always gives the best interviews. Listening to him talk makes you understand why he’s the greatest. Everything he says is measured and well thought out.
You can always tell a true leader, there’s not a person in college ball that doesn’t freeze and respect him, all media respects him, all coaches. ROLL TIDE! Thankful for all the years and many more to come.
@@jarret81 I wouldn't compare complaining to just being upset. Nick knows he would have a shot at the playoffs if he would've beaten either LSU or UT. That's what I love about the current system... the one to blame is your own team and your own team alone.
hunt for solutions, identify problem then find solution, that is how you fix a team how you fix a car a relationship pretty much everything gets fixed this way. Identify the problem find a solution and implement it.
Everyone should watch (search youtube for)The Ultimate Nick Saban Leadership Speech. It's 48 minutes long and is in my opinion one of the best inspiration/motivation speeches ever!
This was a gem of an interview. Joel Klatt asked pertinent and prescient questions and elicited some candid and straightforward replies from Nick Saban. And, without making it about himself, Joel also included some timely and appropriate self-disclosure, particularly parlaying off the opening question about "the chase and the capture." As one who has a lifelong passion for college football, Joel gets his own version of the "chase" every week during the fall by his thorough preparation for the broadcast, but the "capture" moment is only knowing he and his teammates at his network did a good job bringing the game to the people and not that exuberance of a winning lockerroom. I believe that is prevalent among all those who transitioned from the field to the booth, but it is extremely rare to hear one admit it.
As a CU Buff fan and someone who covers them on my channel, I really like this interview. I’m watching more of these now to learn and be more verse on the sport over all. I loved the questions and the answers given. Alabama is blessed to have Coach Saban like CU-‘s Blessed to Have Coach Prime.
Loved this interview too. Coach Prime, Coach Saban are my favorites. I also like Joel Klatt a lot. His interviews are always thoughtful and so well done.
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 i hope you’re doing as you suggest. Lots of people out here preaching but not living the life. I hope you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and also repent of your sins. Especially if you’ve just sin.
@@dillanmoore9875 Right now, Coach Saban is the greatest College Football Coach period. He has built something special and lasting at Alabama. I love Coach Prime and am very excited for what's to come in Boulder but I gotta give Coach Saban his flowers. He's a great coach.
@@cubuffs4life275 he can have a great football mind and coaching skills he wants. But EXPERIENCE is the best teacher. Coach prime hasn’t had enough time to prove he’s better than Saban. From what I seen so far. Prime> Saban
Yall are crazy if you think Deion sanders is better than nick saban. He hasn't done anything, and Nick saban has won 6 championships. This is coming from a uga fan
I’m an FSU grad from the 90’s and just wanted to tell you WHAT A SHOW! not only are asking the right questions but the guest you’re asking them to. Well done!!
Not a bowden fan, but how many of the 14 straight years where FSU finished in the top 5 (Saban has 4 or 5 in a row) did he face and beat very good FL and Miami teams in the same year. Saban has NEVER beaten a very good Aub team. Saban is so unbelievably overrated.
@@chrisaustin22 Bama fan here…respect for Coach Day also. Wouldn’t be surprised if both teams were to see each other in the playoff this year! Always a great game when they meet!
Joel that almost had me subscribing. You asked true questions,and listened. The interview was honest with no agenda. Coach Saban is the leader in college football. No matter what room he walks in; he is the leader. Coach Saban's status is always a target for "other teams reporters", and just plain old fashioned hacks. This was a true interview. I was truly suprised by you. Alabama fans are so use to coach Saban being asked "ambush questions" that we wait for the question that is a "hack" question, and think....here we go again! Thank You for being a PRO.
Nick is arguably the coach all the other teams' fans who are not Alabama love to hate, but the man's accomplishments speak for themselves, and I appreciated his views on this interview. No one brings out the best like Joel - can't wait to see you in O-H-I-O this season!!
Bama just upgraded its weight room for the third time in about a decade, and it is 🔥 Most programs that do renovations just go for bigger and more steel, but Bama went full send and integrated the most cutting edge sports science tech into its facility. I don’t know if it’s the missing piece to retaking the championship, but it’s low-hanging fruit to show off to recruits
Every power 5 program has those I will say that the technology they use measures the speed of weight being lifting and it will track your reps and sets and fill adjust automatically that way the athlete doesn’t get tired and allows them to get stronger fast And also the sports nutritionist have a major role to.
The missing piece was the players not being “those guys”. They didn’t want it enough. Alabama had just as much if not more talent than Georgia the past two years but Georgia has just wanted it more.
@@fruitsaladyummyyummy6768 Great points. Most programs utilize some sort of barbell velocity tracking, but Alabama has integrated other forms of sports science tech as well. I don't know if they will make enough of a difference, but they sure look cool
That’s the whole point of playing the games. The most talented team doesn’t always win. Sometimes it’s better coaching,sometimes the lower talent team has more heart or unity. Those things should also be rewarded.
They were favored against the two teams they lost to as well. It’s such an asinine argument and makes him sound like a baby. Why play any games at all? Just let vegas choose the national champion at the beginning of the year 🙄
ROLL TIDE! I love this guy and have gotten so much positive information over the years from him, if he never wins another title he’s submitted his legacy to me and to all of Alabama. We love you coach.
Great interview. Coach Saban has an amazing grasp of what is going on currently with college football and how to and how not to make it better .I love how he focuses his staff on creating value for his players after they are done playing football. They will need a career outside of football and as Nick stated going to college should prepare someone for that be it an athlete or non athlete.
Pate is the best, not close. Klatt is a network shill who has never seen a rule change to make games shorter that he didn’t like. He also keeps trying to make us all believe the B10 and SEC are “really close” in terms of competition. I’m sure it’s all sincere and not at all because FOX has Zero broadcasting rights in the SEC.
@jesy1732 He's here to cover The B1G10 there's not much to say about the Sec I understand he had to ask questions about them because he's a B1G10 and Ohio State analyst
Great Job Klatt and all of those involved in the production of this, this is my weekly fix until the college football season begins! Loving this series, with the interview of coaches!
I'm an Ohio State fan and just as I have said about Kirby Smart, I really respect Coach Saban and what he has accomplished in his career. The thing that sets him apart, which you mentioned is not his record or his legacy as a winner, it's his willingness and ability to adapt to so much change. It's remarkable that he has been through so many assistant coaches and adapted to so many changes in the sport while maintaining the same culture and identity. He's definitely the 🐐 of college football
Nick Saban can coach as long as he wants and could go 0-12 for the next 20 years and not a single Bama fan should be allowed to complain. The amount of success he has brought to the program the last 13 some odd years is more than anyone will ever get to experience with their team.
I’m an ohio state fan & I respect saban more then anyone. Was a kid but he grew 50 miles from Ohio went to Kent state okayed their & coached them Toledo & DB coach at OSU then DC for the Cleveland browns under belicheck
He said it in 2007 when he spoke first time as Bama HC, we are not talking about titles but what it takes to win titles , " THE PROCESS". That is what it was and still is, the process. You do the process,it is everything.
It got a lil awkward but I love how Klatt stood his ground. Coaches need to know if no one covered the sport or talked about it all day they wouldn't get paid millions. Love Saban though
It's funny how the media recognizes how insightful he is. Most coaches don't really get what the media are trying to do or what the real problems in the industry are. When Saban talks about them, the media people kinda have to shrug and admit he has them dead to rights.
I remember the chaos from last year of “if Bama gets in, all these things needs to happen..” then ALL of throngs happened and people were absolutely terrified Bama would get in. As a Bama fan, we knew we weren’t due to the rules but it was still a site to see!
Gosh I love and respect that man so much!! He’ll never take credit for anything! He has so much insight on life! The rules he lives by on the field, we should live by in our field of work. It’s hard to do because sometimes we just don’t feel like doing something but we should do it anyway! I have to listen to him daily in hopes my attitude will be I’m going to do this vs i don’t feel like doing this!
Great series so far! This interview and the Coach Prime one are some of the best content I’ve seen in the off-season so keep it up 👏 I hope you interview Kirby next and ask him about the 2024 schedule.
Anybody who knows anything about Kirby and the Dawgs know they’re very excited about the 2024 schedule. As a fan, I’m looking forward to watching them play at Texas the most.
Klatt don’t want that smoke. And although his job is difficult and he puts in lots of hours it is nothing like coaching college football. He makes the same money now, way more job security, is able to use his gift, and can spend no time with his family. Coach Saban is God’s gift to us all. He gets it.
I know I'm a BAMA fan but gotta say not only is Nick Saban probably the best college football coach in history he is a great Man as well what he and Miss Terry do to help people around the state is awesome thank u coach and ROLL TIDE 🐘
Yo!!!!!! What a comeback question from Joe Klatt on the coaching deal? While Coach Saban did have a strong answer ready to go but I LOVE that Klatt was willing to stand up to the legendary coach and that he didn't run and hide when Coach Saban tried to bully him. Nice work being an actual reporter Joey K!
Keep doing great things Mr. Klatt. Always been a fan of yours. I love your honesty for why you did not join the coaching business. I graduated college in 2022 with the full intent on becoming a high school coach & teaching with aspirations of being a HFB coach one day. But after seeing it and being around it, I’m not sure if I’m willing to give up my time away from my family. I love the competition, the sport, mentoring these kids, but I can’t put it before my family. Still trying to find that balance in the industry so it comforted me hearing you say this. Great interview, Mr. Klatt, keep being great.
He is also the same person that said and I quote.. “ if you don’t win your conference title you don’t deserve to go to playoff” yes they was better than 2 or 3 of them teams but I’m just saying he is only saying this because they didn’t get in.
“When I found out we were favorited against 3 of the 4 teams in the playoffs, I wondered why are we not in the playoff?” Well when I found out you were favored against every team you played this year, I wondered why didn’t you go undefeated?
As a Michigan fan, this man is awesome. Love the way he coaches. They should’ve been in the cfp honestly. I would’ve loved to see Michigan vs Bama. Plus it would’ve had higher stakes. You really get 2 massive B1G vs SEC schools with a chance at a B1G vs SEC matchup or a rematch of one of the two greatest rivalries of all time.
@@autonomouspilgrimage6137 lsu had two losses and played for the Naty against no. 1 OSU and won. CFB playoff did not want to see a repeat of Ga vs Bama. Don’t believe Bama would have won, but would not have been blown out like TCU. Agree if you lose two games probably not going to Naty!
@@speedracer2336 ummm that game was in 2008. The college football playoffs didn’t start until 2014, and no two loss team has made it. Besides you can’t lose two conference games, not even play in your conferences championship game, and make it to the playoffs
There were moments in this where Nick wasn’t joking with you and was legitimately either stating his concerns and point of view that either went over peoples heads or were simply laughed off for the sake of professionalism or being intimidated
This doesn’t matter to most and probably shouldn’t, I just want to say that his whole demeanor reads “I don’t want to be here” in the beginning, but toward the end he seemed to lighten up
I love Coach Saban. He and Coach Prime are my top 2. I don't believe college athletes should be deemed as employees. They should not be able to organize or unionize. Not in college. Also, they should not be able to opt out at will. There needs to be limits.
Joel thought this was a interview for Nick, but this was a job interview for Joel 😮😮😮 You know you did a good job in the interview if you get offered a job on the spot
Rees wouldn't be there if he wasn't the right guy you kidding me ? Saban could have chosen anyone he wanted . Dude went from being OC at notre dame and left not to be a head coach but to do same job but at alabama instead.
What question would you want to ask legendary coach Nick Saban?
What's the toughest challenge in maintaining his standard of excellence?
Take Coach on his offer to become a coach.
How does the current NIL (Name, Image & Likeness) system compare with the “under the table” payments to athletes of yesteryear? Was it better to do this behind close doors or is it just to much of the Wild West?

Anybody who knows anything about Kirby and the Dawgs know they’re very excited about the 2024 schedule. As a fan, I’m looking forward to watching them play at Texas the most.
Klatt don’t want that smoke. And although his job is difficult and he puts in lots of hours it is nothing like coaching college football. He makes the same money now, way more job security, is able to use his gift, and can spend no time with his family. Coach Saban is God’s gift to us all. He gets it.
Awesome interview with the legendary Nick Saban.

Defensive posture. Honest answers. Man is great.
I know I'm a BAMA fan but gotta say not only is Nick Saban probably the best college football coach in history he is a great Man as well what he and Miss Terry do to help people around the state is awesome thank u coach and ROLL TIDE 🐘
Rockne is the GOAT.
Yo!!!!!! What a comeback question from Joe Klatt on the coaching deal? While Coach Saban did have a strong answer ready to go but I LOVE that Klatt was willing to stand up to the legendary coach and that he didn't run and hide when Coach Saban tried to bully him. Nice work being an actual reporter Joey K!
Not a Bama fan but I am a Saban fan. Good conversation, Joel. Go Dawgs.
Keep doing great things Mr. Klatt. Always been a fan of yours. I love your honesty for why you did not join the coaching business. I graduated college in 2022 with the full intent on becoming a high school coach & teaching with aspirations of being a HFB coach one day. But after seeing it and being around it, I’m not sure if I’m willing to give up my time away from my family. I love the competition, the sport, mentoring these kids, but I can’t put it before my family. Still trying to find that balance in the industry so it comforted me hearing you say this. Great interview, Mr. Klatt, keep being great.
Great job! The CFB season can’t come soon enough
I keep telling people, as long as we have this man we always have a great chance at winning a national title. Roll tide roll!🐘🌊
I love how this guy constantly downs Alabama in season but face to face knows Nick Saban is daddy 😂😂😂
Just goes to say how respected you are Klatt, the way Coach Sabin talks to you - you can definitely tell he gives you the time of day
I’m a Hurricane through and through but I love this man like a uncle and Respect him. We love Little Debbie Oatmeal pies lol
He is also the same person that said and I quote.. “ if you don’t win your conference title you don’t deserve to go to playoff” yes they was better than 2 or 3 of them teams but I’m just saying he is only saying this because they didn’t get in.
Absolute legend
Class act … excellent interview … good job
Joel, I would LOVE to see you as a coach on Coach Saban's staff. I think you would do a TREMENDOUS job!
“When I found out we were favorited against 3 of the 4 teams in the playoffs, I wondered why are we not in the playoff?”
Well when I found out you were favored against every team you played this year, I wondered why didn’t you go undefeated?
You smart.
BOOM. Tennessee ran through them like they didnt exist. Foh Saban.

@@joshupton915 lol I love how Bama fans never have an actual argument, bc you know you’re wrong
@@joshupton915 funny you try to embarress this man for his argument even though he has a good point.
Keep up the good interviews , you got my subscription 👍🏾
Great interview and I am a Clemson fan
As a gator fan I must admit that this was fire…. Great video.
Saban is the GOAT as a Texas fan.
Great opening question Joel. Now, that’s how you start a TH-cam sit down interview.
Joel Klatt in his bag with these convos
Great interview and Roll Tide!!
Alabama should have definitely got in over TCU.
Great perspective Joel
Mr.Klatt we need more of these. Great stuff
As a Michigan fan, this man is awesome. Love the way he coaches. They should’ve been in the cfp honestly. I would’ve loved to see Michigan vs Bama. Plus it would’ve had higher stakes. You really get 2 massive B1G vs SEC schools with a chance at a B1G vs SEC matchup or a rematch of one of the two greatest rivalries of all time.
Agree, but Bama fatigue set in. Don’t think they could have beaten Ga., but would have been favored against the other three.
@@speedracer2336 I agree they may not have won against GA but they definitely wouldn’t have lost by 58 haha
@@speedracer2336it wasn’t “fatigue” it was because Bama lost two games.
@@autonomouspilgrimage6137 lsu had two losses and played for the Naty against no. 1 OSU and won. CFB playoff did not want to see a repeat of Ga vs Bama. Don’t believe Bama would have won, but would not have been blown out like TCU. Agree if you lose two games probably not going to Naty!
@@speedracer2336 ummm that game was in 2008. The college football playoffs didn’t start until 2014, and no two loss team has made it.
Besides you can’t lose two conference games, not even play in your conferences championship game, and make it to the playoffs
The Goat and Coach Saban aint bad either .
There were moments in this where Nick wasn’t joking with you and was legitimately either stating his concerns and point of view that either went over peoples heads or were simply laughed off for the sake of professionalism or being intimidated
this just in "Joel Klatt just hired as Alabama's QB coach for the 2023 season."
This doesn’t matter to most and probably shouldn’t, I just want to say that his whole demeanor reads “I don’t want to be here” in the beginning, but toward the end he seemed to lighten up
If he didn’t want to be there he would’ve declined the invitation.
@@stp1986 true
Great interview!
ANNUAL PLAYOFF FLEXIBILITY REMAINS THE KEY!
Tulane beating USC was one of the perfect reasons to expand the playoff.
I agree, and a tournament or the playoffs isn’t about the best team its the team that plays the best!
How far do you think Tulane would’ve gotten after beating USC in a 12-CFP last season?
I love Coach Saban. He and Coach Prime are my top 2. I don't believe college athletes should be deemed as employees. They should not be able to organize or unionize. Not in college. Also, they should not be able to opt out at will. There needs to be limits.
Joel thought this was a interview for Nick, but this was a job interview for Joel 😮😮😮
You know you did a good job in the interview if you get offered a job on the spot
Not an Alabama fan, but you have to respect the program and the GOAT of college football coaches, Nick Saban.
Rockne is the GOAT.
I do like Alabama. I also like coach Sabin. That's so satisfying! Roll Tide y'all!!
Love Saban, the changes are here can u adjust ? to be successful you have to. Complaining about the nuances is a distraction. Love it
Great job, Joel.
Can’t wait for the 12 team playoff. SEC will have more teams competing for the Naty!
*Want to see Colorado vs Alabama*
What an incredible channel.
Please do an interview with Kiffin!
Joel has Ryan Day and Chip Kelly coming up but I agree that a Kiffin interview would be fantastic!
Sabían wasn’t kidding about that job offer, he knows Rees isn’t the right OC and he has seen Joel’s game breakdown 😂
Dude Reese is already exceeding expectations and is most definitely the perfect fit. You will regret this one 😂
Rees wouldn't be there if he wasn't the right guy you kidding me ? Saban could have chosen anyone he wanted . Dude went from being OC at notre dame and left not to be a head coach but to do same job but at alabama instead.
Couple of GOATS talking.
Saban is the Goat and Sage of College football 🏈
The sour grapes on the playoff last year rings hollow when Bama has gotten literally every benefit of the doubt in past years.
Solid ,good stuff
Great interview
Coach Saban looked uncomfortable with those crossed arms and crossed legs, being questioned. But I'm glad it was Klatt.
Watch every interview he’s done. He ALWAYS sits like this. 😂
@@stp1986 Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever watched a proper Saban interview. Just clips. Huh 🤔
You earn the right to be in the playoffs. If they gave a national championship for being favored in all your games then don't play and get a trophy.
Man understands more than most about sports not just football.
Great point by coach on contracts.
He is spot on with addition of OU and UT more good teams
“Why aren’t we in the playoffs?” BECAUSE YOU DID NOT WIN WHEN YOU NEEDED TO! As a uga fan, Saban deserves his flowers, but good lord!
