"I say the same thing as when y'all buried us last week," he said. "It really doesn't matter what you think. It really doesn't matter what you say. And I'm hoping that nobody on our team is playing for you. I hope they're playing for each other and their team and what they want to accomplish and not what you think. Because that's certainly not what I'm doing. I'm coaching and working for our players and our team to be as good as it can be, and if that's not pleasing to somebody else, then it's not pleasing to somebody else."

Saban was passionate in his response, saying how he believed in his team before and how he continues to do so now.

"It's not going to be for you!" he said, directing his response to the media. "The fans, yes. Because if it was up to you, we're 6 feet under already. We're dead and buried and gone! Gone!"

Yikes, somebody forgot to take their chill pill this morning.
