For the better part of Nick Saban’s 17 years in Tuscaloosa, a Crimson Tide defeat has usually triggered an assessment of UA’s dynasty and whether Saban is finally losing his grip. After the Tide dropped a brutal Week 2 game against Texas,On Wednesday, Saban was asked about his approach when fans and pundits forecast the end of Alabama’s run of greatness.
“My approach is try to play to a standard, try to get our players to play to a standard. When we don’t play to a standard, I don’t need anybody else to criticize,” Saban said on the SEC coaches teleconference. " ... “My standard comes from within me, not from some external motivation that comes from someplace else. I haven’t even heard or read anything of those things because I don’t really pay a lot of attention to it.
“So the focus is 100% on how we get it turned around,” Saban said on Monday. “The future is now. So how do we get our players to - we’ve got to do a better job as coaches to help them be able to play better, more consistently in the game. Put them in a position where they have the best chance to be successful. But I think all these things are fixable. I believe in our players, I think we’ve got good players. Texas has a good team and it’s like I said before, it was a test.
Alabama’s season-long goals — win the SEC West, capture the SEC championship, win the College Football Playoff — are all still attainable. It’ll try to correct the offensive and defensive inconsistencies starting this weekend at South Florida .
