Need your car washed? Nick Saban would do the job right | al.com - Don Kausler Jr. - "So the biggest thing that I learned and started to learn at 11 years old was how important it was to do things correctly. There was a standard of excellence, a perfection." - Saban said he hated washing navy blue and black cars. "When you wiped them off, the streaks were hard to get out, and if there were any streaks when he came, you had to do it over," Saban said of his father. "So we learned a lot about work ethic. We learned a lot about having compassion for other people and respecting other people, and we learned about certainly the importance of doing things correctly."
