Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Alabama football coach Nick Saban addressed some important things Wednesday, including his disdain for ripped jeans.
"I guess I just wanted to know how we got here," Saban said at a press conference.
"Not to offend anybody out there, but I just walked by some jeans, wore out jeans, holes in them, all cut up. I just remember when I was a kid in West Virginia. I was ashamed to go to school because my jeans were wore out. Only because we didn't have any better. Now they buy them that way. I just can't figure out how did we get here."
"I don't know."
Saban then laughed to himself, regarding his stance on denim.
Alabama wide receiver Calvin Ridely knows a thing or two about his 66-year-old coach. Ridley responded to a video posted on social media by tweeting "so true."
Saban also joked around with a reporter Wednesday, saying that he "better be good" before he was asked a question.

"I think this is an important week for us from an execution and focus standpoint," Saban told reporters Wednesday. "Because we have an opportunity to improve as a team, get some experience from some guys that have a chance to make a greater contribution to this team for whatever reasons."
