I'm not going to be the Alabama coach.

I always ask myself the question, do you like to win, or do you hate to lose?

I guess I'm motivated by the fear of failure to some degree and knowing what can happen when you don't do things the way you need to do them to have success.

From Nick Saban

It's never OK to lose a game.

From Nick Saban

I think when you win the national championship, it works throughout your team. Where human nature is to say, I did well. I got my quota this month. Now do I get some time off? Do I get a bonus? Do I get to go on a cruise? But it's not to keep trying to be the best. That's not necessarily human nature.

From Nick Saban

Steph Curry is special in terms of the kind of competitor he is.

From Nick Saban

There's two parts of leadership. You've got to be a good leader - you've got to be somebody that people want to emulate and care about the other people. But the other guys that you have have to accept their leadership. They have to respond to it. That's the chemistry that you never know how that is going to happen.

From Nick Saban

I don't believe you name a starter until the starter wins the team.

From Nick Saban

I think there's a certain pride people have in competition.

From Nick Saban

There's certain things that I was taught growing up about not quitting and seeing things through. I think if I would have come home and told my dad that I was going to quit the team, I think he would have kicked me out of the house. I don't think I'd have a place to stay.
