Nick Saban’s former assistants carry several different lessons they’ve learned from their former boss to the programs they run today.
But what’s most popular amongst Saban’s former assistants is that they consistently quote his famous “rat poison” phrase.
Former Alabama offensive coordinator and current Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian was the latest to pay tribute to Saban during his Monday press conference following the team’s close loss to the Crimson Tide last Saturday.
Sarkisian was asked whether the environment inside Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium was on the level of an SEC program which prompted Sarkisian to break out the quote.
