Nick Saban dishes on challenges Josh Heupel faces in return to Norman
It’s a made-for-TV storyline that’s dominating headlines this week in college football: Josh Heupel, who quarterbacked Oklahoma to a national championship in 2000 but was ultimately fired as the Sooners’ co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after the 2014 season, is now making his return to Norman as the head coach of an undefeated and surging Tennessee team.
Heupel’s No. 6 Volunteers are squaring off against No. 15 Oklahoma, which is led by Brent Venables, who, of course, was the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for the national-title-winning squad Heupel quarterbacked.
Nick Saban joined “The Pat McAfee Show” Friday and shared his thoughts on Heupel’s return to Norman.
“Well, I’m sure that I’ve been in situations where I’ve been fired before and went back and played in those situations, or left and had to go back in those situations,” Saban said. “I think to you, maybe personally, there’s something there. But the No. 1 thing you want to do for your team is not let that impact your team.
“You want your team to stay focused on what they need to do to play well in the game and not worry about those kind of external factors in terms of their emotions.”
