Between Nick Saban and Bill Belichick, who is the worse loser?
“That’d probably be a photo finish,” Belichick said in a pregame segment before Monday’s College Football Playoff between Alabama and Clemson. “We both take it really hard.”
The losses certainly don’t seem to come around often for Belichick, who boasts five Super Bowl titles and a .740 winning percentage during his 19-year tenure in New England, or Saban, who touts five national championships and a .880 winning percentage during his 12-year tenure in Alabama. But before the pair established themselves as arguably two of the best to do it in their respective fields, they were forging a bond over their mutual love for the sport.
