Nick Saban has developed quite the reputation for being a football coach, not a people person.

But Saban insists he can be both, asserting that he is indeed approachable at a media availability Wednesday evening.

โ€œI think most of you all, including the person asking the question, sort of think Iโ€™m not approachable,โ€ Saban said, via Mike Rodak of AL.com. โ€œI donโ€™t think thatโ€™s the case at all.โ€

He added his appearances on the “Hey Coach” show with host Eli Gold has been his attempt to build positive relationships with media and fans in tandem.

โ€œOne of the things Iโ€™ve always found a radio show to give me an opportunity to do is to allow people to approach me and see how approachable I am,โ€ Saban said Wednesday. โ€œI think itโ€™s a good thing for me to see some of the media people that are actually hosts on the show. I get to know them a little bit better. They see a little different side of me.”
