Alabama head coach Nick Saban has accomplished many things. National titles, SEC titles, recruiting titles … he’s even had a shot at the NFL.

There is one thing he doesn’t know how to do — and likely never will — and that’s send a text message.

“I do get text messages, and I do read them,” Saban told the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. “I just don’t know how to send them back.”

The eighth-year Crimson Tide CEO doesn’t email, either. He also doesn’t research on Google.

For most American, spanning multiple generations, texting, emailing and googling are ways of life. This is especially true among those of Generation X and Millennials. But even for the Baby Boomers — of which Saban is a part — 79 percent who own mobile phones know how to text message, according to a Pew Research Center study in 2013. Even 75-year-old Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, one of the few coaches older than Saban, sends texts, according to the Journal.

What makes Saban’s philosophy interesting is his chosen field, in which he’s required to communicate with 18-to-22-year-olds whose only method of communication is digital. That age group would rather converse via tweet than make a phone call.

“Coach Saban would probably be the one person in my life I don’t text-message,” Alabama cornerback Cyrus Jones said.

Does it have to do with his “process”?

“Coach Saban has figured out how to do anything he wants to figure out to do, and I think he sees texting as unnecessary,” St. Louis Rams center and former Alabama All-American Barrett Jones said. “He’s the most efficient person I’ve ever met. He probably views it as an inefficiency.”

Don’t misunderstand, Saban does use technology. But the only uses for his computer are to watch film and Skype with recruits without having to leave the office.

His players know how to get in touch with him. Saban’s a firm believer in an open-door policy, in addition to personal conversations.

His theory works; he’s the most successful coach in the game. But rest easy knowing Saban doesn’t use any of his time doing what so many of us do all day, every day.
