Sounds like a great Saban speech.
"Do you want the pain of discipline, or the pain of disappointment?"
"The media just makes stuff up these days, they don't report the news. They set expectations and tear you down when you don't meet them. That's fine, I'm used to it," he said. "Radio, like the Paul Finebaum show -- there are enough team dynamics destroyed on the airwaves. I don't listen to it, I don't read the papers."
"We talk about our three 'I's' -- intensity, immediacy, intelligence," he said. "We want to have a big, physical team that no one wants to play. We want to be relentless."
"Freddy Krueger -- why is he so scary? You can't kill him," Saban said. "You think he's gone and then he reaches through the wall and grabs you around the neck.
"When we start to play like champions, that's when we'll win a championship."
