The Alabama Crimson Tide may have beat Western Kentucky by 28 points, but head coach Nick Saban didn’t think they played well enough. Lane Kiffin heard about it.

For current Florida head coach Jim McElwain, he’s heard plenty from Saban over the years. McElwain was the Crimson Tide’s offensive coordinator under Saban from 2008-2011.

When asked about his time back with Saban, McElwain gave a rather humorous response:

Nick Saban may enjoy the process year in and year out, but it sure doesn’t seem like it from what fans and the media can see. Apparently to former coaches under him, though, it’s all just a part of winning with him.
