The definition of a smile is “a pleased, kind, amused, facial expression.” That is Nick Saban at practice Thursday. What a great picture of a guy that enjoys his job. I’ve had a few moments with Nick Saban over the years. There is one thing I believe to be true, I think he enjoys the preparation as much or more than the game. You see the smile. The other side of that smile is what the opponent feels when they see the joy. Nothing amusing, just a kind warning. The Alabama Coach is happy with the preparation, which will scare the hell out of some coaches.– Jim Dunaway
