Nick Saban was not happy with how Alabama played Saturday, regardless of what any scoreboard might say. Alabama beat Western Kentucky 38-10, but that didn't matter even a little to Saban, who told reporters this was his "most disappointing win, maybe ever".

Late in the game with Alabama leading Western Kentucky 38-3 the Bama offense ran a rushing play that resulted in a fumble and turnover. Saban was not happy with the play call and let Kiffin know it.

After the game a reporter asked Saban about his disagreement with Kiffin to which Saban had a very direct answer.
Nick Saban asked if he and Lane Kiffin got into any arguments on the sideline: "There were no arguments, those are called ass-chewings."

Saban is very candid with his coaches and players which actually creates a more healthy relationship in what can often be a very intense atmosphere.
For what it's worth, Saban and Kiffin get into it often. Nothing passive aggressive about their relationship, which I'd say is healthy.
