Coach Saban. COACH NICK SABAN: I would say that regardless of the result that this team achieved that they certainly exceeded every expectation that we had for them with the number of guys we graduated last year, the number of new roles, young players, injuries, the adversity that this team had to overcome. These guys really battled. And people talk about how the most difficult thing is to win your first championship. Really the most difficult is to win the next one, because there's always a feeling of entitlement, and the commitment that these guys made two days after we played LSU last year in the National Championship game to be a team, to set a goal to accomplish something of significance is really special for what they were able to accomplish. So I've never been prouder of a group of young men for what they were able to do, their legacy as a team certainly gets sort of defined by what they were able to accomplish this entire season but especially in what they were able to accomplish tonight. I thank our fans and supporters, the University community that's been very, very supportive, Dr. Witt, our chancellor, our president Mal Moore, our athletic director. All those people have been very supportive, the entire university community, and we have the greatest fans in the world that have been very supportive, and I know the players really appreciate that. EDDIE LACY: Well, I think for one of the first times this season we were able to come out and play a complete game. I mean, we had slow starts at times, but we was able to come back and put a couple drives together and score. Even though my teammates ain't here, the offense, I thank them, because without them I wouldn't be here right now. And Coach Saban, he's a great coach, and I thank him, as well. C.J. MOSLEY: It was just a complete game for offense, defense and special teams. We talked about making tackles on defense, changing the game on special teams and starting fast on offense, and that's exactly what we did, so we came out strong, then we finished our full game. Q. Coach, this is your fourth trip to the podium for a National Championship, and you seem to be really, really composed and almost dry, and you have the most serious expression on your face of any coach that I think I've ever seen win a championship. What's fun about this one? And what's different about this one from the other three? COACH NICK SABAN: Well, you know, I'm extremely pleased and happy, and I'm really happy for all the people, the players, the coaches, all the people who made the sacrifices and the hard work to accomplish this, our entire football family, the people at the institution who support our program, our fans. You know, it's not about me. It's really about seeing all those people being happy and being proud of what this team was able to accomplish. That's the thing that makes me happy, and whether I look it or not, I'm happy as hell. (Laughter.) Q. Some teams go all in, some teams build for the future. Can you just talk about the challenge of having success in the present while always kind of looking towards the future, building towards the future and staying with the process. COACH NICK SABAN: Well, I think there's no continuum of success. The process begins, but it's ongoing, and in a couple days from now, we have players that may go out for the draft. We have to help them make good decisions about what their future is. We have other players that need to develop that will have new roles on our team next year. We have to recruit character quality players to represent our program. So the process is ongoing. And if you don't pay attention to that, you're not going to stay up. We got here by five yards. Georgia was five yards away from scoring. So it's a pretty tough league that we play in, and we're going to have to continue to try to improve as a program to have an opportunity to win the SEC Championship or the National Championship ever again because of the competition in our league. Look, we're really happy, we're really pleased, we're really proud of what we have to do here.
