I agree. He probably wasn't a fan of his father's demanding schedule either. Nick's son probably feels the same. I recently watched a documentary with Nicholas and Kristen featured in it. It was a little awkward since the M.O. of the film was to laud Saban for his coaching accomplishments. Yet much of what his children and wife had to say in it was regret that they don't see him much and how difficult it is. His son had a couple of very poignant remarks when he said fans ought to enjoy a 30 point win over Duke, and later said, "It's just a game." The film's editor either didn't have much to work with from Nick's children or Nick's children didn't have much else to say LOL.
Saban said years ago that the only other coach who recruited as hard as him was Urban. So we need to keep things in perspective. If our next coach is a better version of Ray Perkins, we will be fortunate.
