"All I can tell you is, when I go home at night, I'm not the most powerful person in my own home," Saban said with a smile. "But really, this is all about the University of Alabama. It's all about the football program here. It's all about the opportunity that we have here, the great tradition we have here and what we try to do to try to restore that tradition. It really isn't about me. We've got a great team of people here.
We've got a great president of the university who has done a fantastic job of improving the quality of education around here -- enrollment, quality of students, making it easier for us to recruit people. He's been very supportive of the athletic program. Coach (Mal) Moore has done a fantastic job in the athletic department. We have a great athletic department. (New hire) Dave Hart is going to add to that. So we have a lot of people around here who contribute to the success of what we're able to accomplish and hopefully continue to build on so we can have even more success in the future."
