Alabama head coach Nick Saban giving signals in practice for the Tennessee game

Nick Saban refused to publicly analyze Bill O’Brien during his Monday press conference.

O’Brien has been under fire after Alabama’s recent offensive performance against LSU. Saban was asked by a reporter Monday, “How would you access the overall body of work for this Alabama offense and the job Bill O’Brien has done?” The Alabama head coach responded by stating he was not going to publicly analyze someone no matter how he feels about them.

“There are things that we need to do better in every part of our organization,” Saban said. “I am not gonna analyze somebody publicly, good, bad or indifferent. We are all working hard together. We are all responsible for what we do. Do we need to play better on both sides of the ball? Absolutely. We got to play better upfront, and we gotta make less mistakes, overall, organizationally. There is not a, a coach or a player in this organization that can’t do things better to help our players have a better chance to be successful. And I think the players themselves also have to be accountable and go out there and do things that they are supposed to do, especially in critical times in the game.”

Alabama sits at No. 17 in the nation in total yards with 4,346 yards. The Tide’s rushing attack respectfully is ranked No. 23 in the nation while their passing attack comes in at No. 28.
