Nick Saban on his first day working for ESPN at SEC Football Media Meeting today: "I've never worn a credential in my life. I had to go back to my hotel room to get my media credential to get into the media meeting. So that was an adjustment."

GG —

With all due respect, probably the wrong day to dismiss rigorous security regulations and enforcement.

Just saying….

But I would not expect security at the RNC to ask, say, George Bush for his credentials if he was there.

He has the credentialed Secret Service to vouch for him. Wait, what??

For years, like most head coaches, Nick Saban has carefully crafted the skill of saying nothing meaningful in front of a microphone. By now, it's probably second nature to him to give non-answer answers to questions.

It will be interesting to see whether he can turn off that instinct to become an informative and entertaining analyst. No disrespect to him personally, but I am skeptical that most coaches can make that pivot.
