Nick Saban weighs in on players leaving mid season


Sep 27, 2018, 9:06 PM

“I think it’s a little bit of a timing issue. I think once you start a season and you invest a lot of time in helping players — not just in football but in personal development, academic support. When you start the season and everyone is all together, everyone needs to buy in and accept their role on the team and learn and grow with their team. I think there are a lot of lessons to be learned. Some get learned when things happen and even more are learned when things don’t go your way. And then, if it’s in the best interest of the player to go somewhere else at the end of the season then that’s probably a much – from a timing standpoint, a much better way to do it. It will be very difficult for many people to manage what is happening in college football and internally you have guys that are saying, ‘I’m not sure I want to play anymore this year because I’d rather get redshirted.’ Well, I think everyone would sorta of have an obligation to the player to help them academically, athletically, helping them be more successful in life but the player has an obligation too to do what he’s instructed to do. Being on scholarship and all the money that we invest in all the other things to help them be successful, their part of it is to do what they are supposed to do. What if a guy refuses to go to class, just refuses. I mean, what do we do? What if a guy refuses to play? I mean, these are the kinds of things that are happening right now and don’t bode well for the development of players, in terms of what it takes to be successful in life. There are occasions where it is best for a player to go somewhere else but there is a timing element to all that that’s really important and I don’t know how much value a player creates for himself when he walks off after four games.”

Wow that was pretty incomprehensible

I can just hear him droning on in that monotone voice.

I think most coaches will probably feel this way. Coaches pour so much into managing their rosters and when a player leaves it throws a monkey wrench into their plans. It has to be tough on both parties.
