Even after four national titles, Alabama’s head coach Nick Saban vows not to do one thing that everyone and their grandma does now, and that is texting. In a recent article with WSJSports, Saban brought up the fact that he doesn’t know how to text.
“I do get text messages, and I do read them,” he said on Tuesday. “I just don’t know how to send them back.”
But this isn’t entirely because he doesn’t have the ability to learn how to text. He just “considers texting a waste of his time.”
Saban speaks often about what he calls “the process”—an efficient, consistent approach to maximizing one’s potential. Accordingly, Saban chides his players for using—or, in his opinion, overusing—their phones. He values developing relationships and making the most of his busy schedule. “Coach Saban has figured out how to do anything he wants to figure out to do, and I think he sees texting as unnecessary,” said St. Louis Rams center Barrett Jones, a former All-America at Alabama. “He’s the most efficient person I’ve ever met. He probably views it as an inefficiency.”
