here are some choice quotes... feel free to add to the list.

- Saban: "We are not looking for sheep, we are looking for wolvesâ€Â
- Saban on the media: “You ask me all these hypothetical questions and they are insignificant to me for what we are trying to accomplish. I am not mad at anybody. It is called intense.â€Â
- Saban (POV) ``I made the point and you don't need to believe it. Nobody needs to believe it and I don't really care whether you believe it or not, but I know what I believe and I know when they do it, it'll work.''
- Saban: "Make haste slowly, the right timing and the right degree, governed alike by vigilance and patience, so that nothing regrettable is done through haste, and nothing left undone through sloth."
- Saban: ( To reporters) 'So don't ask me about that stuff (penalties), because it's nothing but a freakin' excuse. And we've had enough of those around here.''
- Saban: ``I think that's all [bull]! All right? It's [bull]! It's an excuse, and I'm not giving the players an excuse. You either have discipline or you don't. You either go out there and do it or you don't.''
- Saban: "What you do speaks so loudly I can't hear what you say, so don't give me an excuse about it."

- Saban: "All great things are accomplished in adverse circumstances,"
- Saban: (On rivalries) Do you believe in voodoo dolls? If I stick the doll, does it hurt? That is what all of that stuff means, you know.â€Â
- Saban: “you are first taught what to do, then you are taught how to do it, and thirdly, you learn why it is important to do it that way. That part of it gets into the understanding and we try to get that with our playersâ€Â.
- JT: (On Jet fans) “Are all the ones who got kicked out of New York and moved to Miami and live in all the places we didn't want to live in Miamiâ€Â
- Houck: "I would guess in Game 16 we are going to be playing a lot better than in Game 10, for example," "But I don't think we'll have it all done by Game 16. Maybe next year is when we start playing a lot better."
- Football Outsiders: “The Patriots run a defense like Nick Saban’s, but the Dolphins run a defense that is Nick Saban’sâ€Â.
- Parcells: "Don't tell me you're a good fur trapper if I look out there at your horse and there are no pelts."
