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 SABANI loved it at LSU.
NICK SABANThere’s certain things that I was taught growing up about not quitting and seeing things through.
NICK SABANI think you have to be more flexible to be a pro coach because once you pay the guy the money, whether he can backpedal the way you want him to or whatever, his style of play may not suit you, but you still are going to play him, and he is going to be a part of your team.
NICK SABANMy wife gets so mad at me because I don’t like to cook on the grill.

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 SABANSoccer is a continuous game, rugby is a continuous game, but for the physical elements that are involved in playing a football game and the number of plays that you play, I don’t know that it was ever intended to be a continuous game.
NICK SABANIf we’d had Drew Brees, I might still be in Miami.
NICK SABANIt’s never OK to lose a game.
NICK SABANIf you’re a coach, you’re a teacher.
NICK SABANI want what’s best for people who want to improve the quality of their life.
