Ok, I think we've established the fact here that nothing about Nick Saban is too ridiculous to mention. Hasn't it been that way over the past eight months? Right, exactly. So to open his press conference yesterday, Alabama's coach was outlining the merits of staying in a routine. That helps players know what to expect, function in their comfort zones, learn better, etc. Because he appears to have a method for doing almost anything, Saban outlined what happens in his household from the time he wakes up to the time he takes a shower.

So how does Nick Saban spend his morning? He is glad you asked (and no, I'm not making this up):

"First thing I do is take the old coffee, put it in a cup, put it in a microwave, warm it up, make some new coffee, drink the old coffee that's horrible from the day before while the new coffee is going, eat my two little Debbie cookies. By the time the new coffee comes out, I walk to the mailbox, get the mail, get the paper, dogs follow me out, they go in, I give them a bones and I'm ready to go shower and get ready to go."

By the way, he didn't say which paper. Oh, and if anything goes wrong?

The man has a plan and works the plan and plans to work. He is exactly what Alabama needed.
