May be just my imagination but it seems to me that Coach Saban gives a pc ever day. I dont remember Coach Bryant or Stallings having to give interviews all the time like this. Is this just part of the internet age we live in or what? Seems to me hes getting tired of having to answer all these questions. Did you see how hes rubbing his hair or am i reading to much into this? Thoughts?
Not necessarily more PC's, just more media coverage and more outlets reporting on them. The internet boom is responsible for most of it, but talk radio has been responsible for some of it as well. As soon as Saban says something, it is being talked about on radio 30 minutes later. It is a big difference from the days when folks had to wait for the morning newspaper to read a small practice report as told by the team's beat writer. These days, if someone reads something about Alabama football in a newspaper (or sees it on a newscast), and it is actually "news" to them, then they don't follow Alabama very closely.
