Apparently Coach Saban stopped by for a chat with Pete Carroll while in LA for an ESPN College GameDay commercial. Caption time, people.
via the Ripsit Blog
Update: LSU Jonno comes through with a doozy.
Pete: I just can’t keep my hands warm on the sidelines sometimes. You got any advice Nick?
Saban: Well, Pete, there is a process that we go through to warm our hands. That is definitely something that we try to accomplish wherever we go. You have to think of this in terms of where you want to be, relative to the cold hands that you have now.
Pete: But how long will it take for my hands to warm up?
Nick : Pete, I can tell you right now, that is the wrong attitude. What we try to do is build confidence that we will execute, but you can’t let expectations get in the way of the process that we have in place for warming the hands. The enthusiasm should be what it ought to be, aight.
Pete: But Nick, I’ve tried, and I just can’t…
Nick: Listen, I can tell that there’s very little interest from you to engage in the process of warming your hands, which to me is a tremendous opportunity. I try to tell everyone, you’re only going to remember one thing about this game and that’s how warm your hands are. So there’s no interest, there’s no passion and everybody is embarrassed because of how cold our hands are. Well, it’s because you didn’t have any passion for it, you didn’t have any interest in it, you didn’t have any enthusiasm to do it, and that’s across the board. And that’s not right. We go to a BCS bowl game, everybody ought to be positive and enthusiastic about how warm our hands should be relative to our opponent’s.
Pete: *%$#, Lane is screwed.

Carroll: Hell, the NCAA has been sniffing around here too…now did you offer the Charger on the first phone call or on the first in-home visit?
weak sauce...
since no one on the team or any of our recruits drive a Charger. Besides why would we offer a gay charger when there’s the Challenger, or better yet Escalades, WRX, etc, etc.
If anything the Aubs offered a Charger and got turned down and now use it as a talking point. Silly Barners—football championships are for Bama.
Yeah
because that’s exactly what the young hip hop culture of today wants to drive, a Subaru WRX.

Saban: “Now Pete, you understand you’ll have to take some graduate level courses to maintain eligibility standards realitive to our GA position, aight? But if Mike Groh can handle them and still focus on what it takes relative to our expectations of being process oriented, then you should be aight. Aight?”

“I’ve tried sticking ’em under my arms when they get cold, Nick, but I swear I get a lot more warmth if I just cut holes in my pockets and use ’em to make a nest for my eggs.”

im going to admit this
i don’t get it….is it a quote from a movie?
‘When you build a house and you make it hurricane-proof by putting certain kinds of windows in it, and use cement instead of stick construction and all that kind of stuff, you’re getting prepared for what? A hurricane that may or may never every come." ’We’re going to have 12 hurricanes next year, we know they’re coming.’

Wait a minute...
Is Saban taller than Carroll? And here I thought that USC players were bigger than everybody else’s, when Carroll is really just a very short guy!
It's SoCal
Carroll’s in flip flops and NIck is in elevator shoes.

Met Coach Carroll one time...
He was maybe 6’0". I’m 5’10", and I was basically looking at him, but he looked slightly taller. Coach Saban is definitely shorter than Carroll.
