We’ve reached Thursday night in Week 8 of Alabama’s football season. That means it’s time for Hey Coach and the Nick Saban radio show airing live at 7 pm CT.<\/p>\n

Here’s a rundown of his thoughts.<\/p>\n

Segment 1<\/h2>\n

— Saban joked with media guest and meteorologist James Spann about his important role in determining if they practice inside or outside.<\/p>\n

— On Tennessee, Saban said if they make any of the five plays that ended the game, they would have \u201cprobably won the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

— On a phycological standpoint, he wants the players to take a more positive approach and to have more fun. There’s too much concern with failing as opposed to playing to win.<\/p>\n

— Peewee from Grand Bay asked about reverse rat poison. Saban said he doesn’t read or listen to anything when things are good or bad. Outsiders don’t know better than those inside the program on how to fix things. Saban said fans should support the players and that most people don’t have any appreciation for the kind of work that goes into this.<\/p>\n

— Saban said he’s been doing a lot of thinking about all the external factors that can creep into players’ mindsets. The anxiety can come from external factors and they can be impacted by the outside noise they hear on social media, etc. Plow said this kept him up at night this week so he spoke to the leadership group about it.<\/p>\n

Segment 2<\/h2>\n

— Mississippi State does a great job of spreading out a defense and has an experienced QB and most of the starters back on both sides of the ball. They use their WRs in different ways to suit their talents and they have strong RBs even if they don’t run it often.<\/p>\n

— What makes it difficult to defend the air raid? They use 4 wideouts on the field which can cause mismatches. They do a lot of bunches and stacks that force you to adjust coverages. Formations change but the passing concepts are the same. You have to understand their offense like they understand it, he said from a defensive standpoint. They spread you out and look at the leverage you’re using\/safety alignment, etc., and they know exactly how to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n

— Spann asks about the worst weather game Saban’s ever coached. He said it was 25-below-zero for a game at Cincinnati when he was coaching with the Houston Oilers. It didn’t go well for the Oilers.<\/p>\n

Segment 3<\/h2>\n

— Kool-Aid McKinstry has been one of the most consistent players on the defense though he had a mental error late Saturday at Tennessee. He doesn’t make many mental errors, Saban added.<\/p>\n

— Saban said the coaching staff gets to work at 12 noon on Sundays and will start watching the next opponent at 3 pm for the next six hours. The first thing he does after that is meet with the defense and set the game plan. Monday is special teams. Tuesday is first-down, short-yardage and other situational scenarios for preparation. He’s rolling through the full calendar of a practice week and it’s quite detailed. Hard to keep up.<\/p>\n

Segment 4<\/h2>\n

— \u201cI get asked that a lot, especially by recruits and their families,\u201d Saban said of the retirement question. He said he’s just as energized as ever. On the other hand, \u201cI certainly don’t want to ride the program down \u2026\u201d Saban said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s one priority during football season,\u201d Saban said.<\/p>\n

— The final word: People say \u201cdon’t sweat the small stuff\u201d but Saban said this team does. They need to worry about all the small details instead of the result.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
