Nick Saban knows how to roll with the punches these days.
The latest example came recently at the Waste Management Pro Am in Phoenix when he did an interview on the course with comedian Michael Turner.
“Do you think if you had another year to prove yourself at Alabama, you’d have more job opportunities this offseason?” Turner asked.
Saban actually laughed before he gave the coach speak on retiring.
Turner, of course, had a follow up: Retirement has allowed Saban ”to do what you want to do which, I think, is focus on Arizona State and kind of rebuilding our program?”
Why you been dodging the program?” Turner continued. “You scared of the Pac-12. Now, it’s the Big 12. You can handle it.”
