Nick Saban is too hard on himself.
In an “Outside The Lines” interview with Paul Finebaum to air this upcoming Sunday, Saban spoke about how his four national titles are only half of what he feels he should have.
“People talk about we’ve won four national championships. Well, I feel like we’ve had good enough teams to win eight,” he said. “So I feel like we failed four times. I feel like I failed four times.”
He’s not necessarily wrong. ‘Bama has been a preseason Top 5 team every year since 2009 and his LSU teams were in the Top 15 four out of his five years in Baton Rouge.
