Bobby Bowden has one piece of advice for Nick Saban."How did I handle stress?" said the second-winningest coach in Division I-A football. "Go to sleep. Take a nap."
We can't imagine Alabama's Nick Saban following that piece of advice. In fact, as the joke goes, Nick Saban doesn't get stress; he creates it. The first annual Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year award was handed out on Sunday, and Saban was on hand to receive the award personally from the former Florida State coaching legend.
"There could be no greater award for me to receive than one with Coach Bowden's name on it, because of not only his accomplishments," Saban said according to the Birmingham News.
"It's not always what you did, but it's more important who you are, and there's no one in our profession -- or anyone that I know as a person -- that I have more respect for than I do Bobby Bowden and the great coach that he's been and the great person that he's been."
