The expectations for the Alabama football team are exceptionally high — perhaps higher to no one than head coach Nick Saban.

He expects his team to play with energy, effort, and discipline. These three characteristics haven’t quite been visible during the first half of Alabama’s game with Chattanooga.

At halftime, Alabama had a slim 14-3 lead.

When asked about the contest, Saban didn’t hold back on his thoughts — calling it “embarrassing.”

This was followed up with some rather snarky behavior directed at the sideline reporter. Suffice it to say, but it will not be pleasant in the Alabama locker room during halftime.
