Saban reflects on the times he coached in Death Valley, the difficulties of suiting up in Baton Rouge.
Nick Saban has had his fair share of memories in Tiger Stadium over the years as both the head coach at LSU or visiting with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
“They wanted to use the whole day to get tuned up for a night game. And you know, I tried to give them a coaching point and say, ‘Why can’t you get half tuned up, go to the game, then half an after party and get further tuned up?’ But they didn’t buy that. So my point being, they will be juiced and ready to go, and it’s hard to play at LSU at night.”
“I mean, I remember when Tua was playing for us and we had a really good team and we got the ball at the beginning of the game and we went right down the field. And we got down there on about the 20-yard line of the student section, we had like four straight false starts,” Saban said. “I mean we couldn’t go on silent; we couldn’t go on clap. We couldn’t get the ball snapped.”
