My wife goes to Birmingham five times a week. My mom lives in Birmingham now after moving from Myrtle Beach. It’s not just the job. A lot of people don’t get that. My life is here.

NICK SABANI always ask myself the question, do you like to win, or do you hate to lose?
NICK SABANI think people who grow up in one particular environment, like the Alabama-Auburn game, they don’t ever get the same appreciation for the Ohio State-Michigan game or the Michigan State-Notre Dame game or the Michigan-Michigan State game, the Browns and the Steelers.
NICK SABANI 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.
NICK SABANWhen you have a system, you kind of get in a routine of what’s important. And then you spend a lot more time on thinking of things that would make it better.
NICK SABANNow 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.
NICK SABANThere needs to be somebody that looks out for what’s best for the game, not what’s best for the Big 10 or what’s best for the SEC or what’s best for Jim Harbaugh, but what’s best for the game of college football – the integrity of the game, the coaches, the players, and the people that play it.
NICK SABANI played so long ago, I don’t think anybody even knew you could transfer. I don’t think they knew anything about it.
NICK SABANWe certainly don’t want them to do anything that’s going to affect themselves in an adverse way or affect our program, our university, or our team in an adverse way.
NICK SABANWe don’t have rules that people can’t use Twitter. We just want people to be responsible.
NICK SABANI never want to discontinue giving kids opportunities.
NICK SABANI don’t know that there’s any particular scientific evidence that you could say, more guys get hurt in this offense versus that one, or hurry-up, or whatever, but everything that we’ve ever done in the NCAA is about exposure. How many exposures does a player get?
NICK SABANI don’t think I’m complicated at all. I’m not political, and I’m not trying to be diplomatic. I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings, and I don’t say bad things about people. There is no agenda. There’s no trying to fool somebody.
NICK SABANYou have the ball in your hand every time when you’re a quarterback. Whether you’re handing it off or throwing to somebody, I think that’s extremely important.
NICK SABANI think people always assume that every team has great intangibles, and that’s not necessarily right.
NICK SABANI try to stay out of the spotlight.
