Nick Saban is Pissed About the "Unauthorized Biography" on Him

Nick Saban isn’t thrilled with the new unauthorized biography about his life that his shelves this week. Before you read this reaction to the book, know this: Saban talked to the author – Monte Burke – of “Saban, the Making of a Coach,” before starting the project and after it was complete. Here’s what Saban said at his press conference Thursday:

"“I just want everybody to know that I’m opposed to an unauthorized biography on anybody,” Saban said. “If some person that you don’t even know (is) trying to profit by your story or someone else’s story.” “One of these days when I’m finished coaching at Alabama, I’ll write an authorized book because there’s only one expert on my life and guess who that is … me. And there won’t be any misinformation. There won’t be any false statements. There won’t be any hearsay. There won’t be any expert analysis from anybody else. It will be the real deal. And I’m not really ready for that to happen and it’s a little amazing to me that the timing of all this happening right when we’re starting camp. I just want everybody out there and all of our fans to know, it’s not going to be a distraction to us and it’s never going to get discussed again.” “But since I’m not finished yet at Alabama, we’re not writing any books yet. But when we decide to write an authorized book, it will have the truth ― the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”"

Having not read the book, it’s difficult to know what Saban is so upset about. It’s probably related the Hillary Clinton comment that exploded last week. But the Texas stuff that came out in the New York Times? There wasn’t anything new there.
