Nick Saban has a passion for football, but he does enjoy taking a break from the game.
Saban was on ESPN throughout Monday for coverage of the College Football Playoff National Championship. He let it be known he was not a fan of watching football games when he was a guest on Marty & McGhee.
“I don’t even like to watch games, to be honest with you, because it just feels like work,” Saban said. “I see a team run a formation and a play and I think ‘How do we adjust to that? What would we do? How would we block that stunt when they do a certain blitz on defense.’ This is no enjoyment to me. I might as well be at the office getting ready to play the game.”
