Randy spoke with the 5-time National Champion head coach (1 with LSU) about the event, as well as the Alabama A-Day Spring Game on April 22 and its results.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You want me to be honest or you want me to tell you what I ought to say publicly?&#8221; Saban said, joking about how he&#8217;s known for being tight-lipped with the media and how the process of spring practice is mainly <a href=\"http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/spring-games-coaches\/\">just a tool for the coaches.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Publicly, you never have a bad spring practice,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Everything&#8217;s good,&#8230; but as a coach I&#8217;m seldom satisfied with what we need to do and the progress we need to make. You know, people need to learn how to self-correct. They need to learn how to learn from the mistakes they make and be able to not be frustrated when things to don&#8217;t go their way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hear the full interview below.<\/p>\n<p>For more, listen to Sports Drive with Randy and Creg weekdays from 3 to 6 pm.
