He sure looked like he enjoyed that one.

I think so...I love seeing him smile yesterday. I think he is like that with the big games. He knows how important it is to win these type of games.


I think he was extremely happy with how the fans showed up this year.


I am proud of our fans in the stadium this year...they have all really showed up and have been loud.

I think it is pride more than happy, these guys are really buying into his process. I really think he gets More satisfaction from seeing his young player enjoy the wins than personal gratification. He also stated Every game we have is a Big Game coming up.

I loved Coach Bryant so much, and CNS is really getting close to that level. Never thought I would say that but he is one of the Best Ever!

Coach Bryant had a personality that drawled you to him,just different. John Wayne type.Also Gene Stallings had that.

I dunno, I was thinking for the first time this season I saw the FIRE! He had in previous years . I think he knows he has to coach this team differently because they don't win the same as past teams. Past teams would of came out in the second half with the lead and reeled off 2 long , time consuming , spirit breaking , demoralizing power drives, and then a play action long TD and won the game 40 -13. This team was built differently. It was built to compete with the spread teams and still be able to play in the physical SECW.

I do think he is real comfortable with Tom Rinaldi, and let's his personable side come through more with him

I sensed in the post-game presser that he was pumped about the way the team played.

And about the win...

Being who Coach is, tho, he tried hard not to show it, but you could definitely feel it...

I'm of the opinion that CNS takes much more pleasure in seeing a team grow and succeed as collective, especially with a group where there were a lot of question marks going into this season, than he does with a much more talented or experienced team that just "goes through the motions" at times. I've really seen that with this team, especially on defense. And considering what this team lost on that side of the ball from last year, that is saying something.

We still have bugs to workout on the offensive side when it comes to execution, particularly in the running game. However, overall I think this probably one of the best jobs CNS has done since setting foot on the Capstone.

He's mellowing out in his old age.

Watching his on field interview after the game...with the stands still packed and rowdy/loud, absolutely rocking...I can't imagine how a fan base could have shown Saban and the team any stronger support.
