‘I Made A Lot Of Bad Decisions’ — Nick Saban Gets Brutally Honest About Tua Tagovailoa’s Season-Ending Injury at Alabama

Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban recently opened up about two specific instances where he regrets deferring to player input over his own judgment. One notable example occurred during a 2013 matchup against Auburn, when he allowed kicker Adam Griffith to attempt a 57-yard field goal that resulted in a game-winning return for the opposition.

Saban also expressed remorse regarding a 2019 game against Mississippi State where he kept quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on the field despite holding a 28-point lead. Although he had previously instructed his starter to exit the game, a player request led him to keep Tagovailoa in for a two-minute drill, which ultimately resulted in a season-ending hip injury.
