Nick Saban is known for trying unique motivational tactics to find an edge for his team, and this offseason, Saban has identified a book about how cultures developed through history.

Speaking Wednesday to The Next Round, Saban made a reference to Georgia’s recent success when he revealed a book he’s reading, “The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization” by Peter Zeihan.

“I like history and I like cultural things,” Saban said. “It’s a very interesting book. Because it talks about cultures, how why they developed, why they developed because of circumstances, how people tried to — if you could develop something, somebody tried to take it from you, and how that historically sort of developed all the cultures through time and how it’s affecting us now, and how it will change the cultures that we have to live in the future. Pretty interesting to me, at least. Probably boring to most people.”

Host Jim Dunaway then asked Saban if these kinds of lessons are something he’d raise with his team as the Crimson Tide may be dealing with somebody “trying to take it away from you.”

Saban replied: “That’s been the case for a while now. Last couple years, they’ve — somebody’s been successful. We need to try to take it back.”
