Two months after his surprise decision to retire as Alabama's head football coach, Nick Saban has provided some new insight into what led him to walk away.
Speaking to ESPN's Chris Low, Saban lamented that his message to the players wasn't connecting in the way that it used to:
"I thought we could have a hell of a team next year, and then maybe 70 or 80 percent of the players you talk to, all they want to know is two things: What assurances do I have that I'm going to play because they're thinking about transferring, and how much are you going to pay me?
