"What we've created is rat poison on steroids." Nick Saban talking about the current landscape of college football from a coaches perspective. " If you don't have intensity, you can't maintain focus, you can't really play with discipline, you don't play smart, and all these things lead to inconsistency in performance. It's different between wanting something and being committed to it, and I think we have a lot of conditional commitments to teams now in college sports. Guys are worried about how much money they make. I talked to one coach who's on a bye week this week. He says he's talking to agents, all week instead of focusing on coaching his team. So really what we've created is rat poison on steroids in terms of guys' ability to be able to stay focused and lock on what's important to having good performance and lock out things that affect the performance."
