Nick Saban: "We're Full Metal Jacket"

The hall of fame head coach had some choice words in describing his team's offseason plans.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban has had an already interesting offseason. 

Nearly two weeks after a near-miss quote about Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide men's basketball program — he's at it again.

On Wednesday, Saban did an exclusive interview with ESPN's Heather Dinich. He had some choice words when describing the program's offseason plan with Dinich.

"Oh, we're Full Metal Jacket because we're no doubt disappointed in the very things that you pointed out," Saban said. "And I don't disagree. As a coach, you're always trying to get your team to play to their full potential, and I really don't feel like maybe we got that done […] You search for reasons, why and how can you fix it? We have two new coordinators, some new energy, new enthusiasm, new ideas are all beneficial. Hopefully they'll help us get these guys to play with a little bit more … discipline to be able to execute on a more consistent basis."

Maybe the fire that fans have been looking for over the past few years is returning in 2023-24. Apparently Tommy Rees and Kevin Steele are already making a big impact.

Even as Saban gets older, the viral quotes never end.
