Nick Saban offers advice on chasing women

In the new Nick Saban biography, "Saban: The Making of a Coach," author Monte Burke recounts the Alabama coach giving his players advice on the possible perils of chasing women.

"Guys out there chasing (expletive), having all of these kids. And then you come in here and try to play football. Ultimately it's a distraction," Saban said in an excerpt of the book shared by the Wall Street Journal's Ben Cohen. "Ultimately, you don't want to be out there chasing after midnight. If you haven't locked it up by midnight, it's not worth it."

At this point, Saban paused, and shuffled on his feet. The color had risen in his face. His players had no idea what to expect next. "Ultimately, you never want to sleep with anybody who has less to lose than you do" he said. "So, ultimately, if I'm ever going to sleep around on Miss Terry, it's going to be with Hillary (expletive) Rodham Clinton."

A few members of the team laughed so hard that they fell out of their seats. "It was funny as hell," says a former player. "And it was actually a great lesson."
