Remembering the Legendary Late Mike Leach
"With Mike leech dying. Link, if it and Mike leafs were really close, super sad. Yeah, khali. I mean, what a horrible occurrence. That was. And I'm close with a couple of guys that played football at Texas tech and they had texted me a day before the announcement that he died that he had already died. And it was just, it was just a reminder of how fleeting life is, dude. That dude, he coached against the whole miss three weeks ago. It beat him. Yep. It beatle missed three weeks ago. Yeah. And doing all the crazy interviews and hilarious classic Mike Lee stuff, and he's dead. Three weeks ago, three weeks later. He's 61 years old, dude. 61. Yeah. He's my favorite man. He was my absolute favorite when he was in a press conference. There's not a lot of people I would really care. If it was a fan of a team I like, but regardless, you want to know what he has to say, right? Every single time. Every single time. And dude, he's got just all this stuff over. It's cool to look through Twitter and see all the cool videos and stories and stuff that he posted. Like, Cole, Cole. He was Robert. He was played for him and leach was famous for at Oklahoma. He scripted the first 17 plays or however many was in like leaked it to Texas like he dropped it and then Texas thought he was running those plays and they didn't run a single one of those. First place or whatever. And then at Texas tech, he said they tried to do the same thing to Kansas state and the guy for Kansas state knocked on their locker room door said here y'all dropped this. Go drop the plays right here. Like Dan Snyder, or coach Snyder, he was in fallen for he was her bill, sorry, bill Snyder, owner of the Redskins, or whatever commanders ever, but yeah, Bill Snyder, he's like, we didn't fall for this shit. He's like, y'all dropped this back here like laughing. But yeah, at least, I mean, how good is that to it? Against Texas, he freaking draws, it draws a fake opening place script that they were grinding on. Thinking those were the plays they were going to run. They're going to pick off every pass and everything else. And it was just like, so it's coaching tree. His coaching tree is insane. This charts, man. It's like, it's kind of like, I mean, it's way more impressive than Belichick in the NFL. I know he has a lot of guys, but I mean, dude, if your school has a relative right up there with Saban, it's right up there. If your school has a relevant offense, they one of them was in leeches program at some point.

Prayers go on, sometimes out of sight, in high school football
"On this week's religion roundup, prayers go on, sometimes out of sight in high school football. In Jesus name, amen. Let's go. Pregame prayers have become a focal point after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled a Washington state public school coach how to write to prey on the football field. Since then, some speculated there would be more game day prayers. Confidence endurance. A recent AP North Pole shows a majority of American adults approve of the decision. In Michigan, football coaches like west bloomfield's Justin ivy found ways to make it voluntary. It was never a situation where we made anybody come and do it. We just did it. AP sports writer Larry lage says there was some pressure to increase the amount of prayer at games. One coach just outside of Detroit says several people in the community pushed him to use his platform and constitutional right to pray publicly, but Dearborn fordson high school coach fuad Saban says he chose to keep prayers behind closed doors to avoid potential anti Islamic jeers. I actually was flooded by calls and they were hoping that I would take advantage of the ruling and we would do our actual prayer out on the field. So but that's not the way we've operated forts and senior whiteout Hassan Chennai says his teammate support keeping their prayers in the locker room and away from the public. I think it's better private because I don't, you know, we don't know what everybody wants, but we're a team and we all agreed to this to the prayer and we have no problem with it. But we don't want to do it publicly because we don't know if people are comfortable with know what their opinions are about it. We just don't want anything, you know, any conflict with anybody else. High school junior Chris writes as the prayer strengthened the team's Bond. And it's okay to practice whatever religion you may practice when we all accept each other. It's kind of making it easier for us to be cohesive as a team. I'm Walter ratliff.

Big Money Donors Reject Donald Trump
"This GOP mega donor, ditching Donald Trump. Was a really interesting article. And it's from the New York Post, so take it or leave it. But it was interesting. I'm going to read it to you because I think it lays out very succinctly whoever wrote this. And what we're looking at, and let me read it, it says more and more big money bundlers, which is a dumb word. Oh, abandoning former president Donald Trump's bid to return to The White House in 2024 in favor of the rise in GOP start like Florida Ron DeSantis. It says two New York based billionaires, a meta mogul, a metal mogul, Andy Sabin, and the private equity CEO, Steven schwarzman, have each spoken out against the 76 year old Trump in recent days. This is a quote from Sabin. He says, I'm not giving Donald Trump an F and nickel. Saban, who contributed a $120,000 to Donald Trump's unsuccessful 2020 reelection campaign. So he only gave a 120,000 of Trump, but he said I'm not messing with Trump no more and he gave his reasons. He also said, at the end of the day, people stay away from Donald Trump. He endorsed candidates who were not successfully unnecessarily qualified unless they said, I love you, Donald.

"Man, look, man, again, and our lifetime. I mean, that was that great Alabama team to beat Miami in the sugar bowl. We didn't see that coming. But I had never, I mean, you would have had to explain to me as a kid like, well, why would anybody go to Alabama? Like a kid growing up in Houston in the 80s and 90s. I remember, why would you go to Alabama? What's cool about playing a Tuscaloosa? The standard at Alabama. You don't remember this part. As we wrap this up. Genius Dallas took that job in 1990. He left in 1996. I'm going to run through the wind totals for you, okay? 7 11 13 9 12 8 and ten and they ran him out. Man, he's a native son, right? He's a junction boy. He's a giant guy more than anything else, because they ran him out. Yeah. I mean, that championship. I mean, again, there's no, look, man, Alabama, man. I kind of want to, I'm thinking about them, like I think about Oklahoma and everybody else and I'm not trying to talk about these programs or whatever, but you might want to think about what the new era of college football is going to look like. And which expectations should reasonably be. And I think LSU is crazy as they are. They kind of have the right idea. You know what I'm saying? Like, hey, look, man, we might have to be aimed for one of these years. As long as we're going to be, you know, 1201 one and a mother years, you know? And we don't just go. We'll keep trying. We're hard till we get it right, you know? And I think that that's like the best way instead of being like, man, I don't know, man. George might be, we might be, you know, get rid of Nick Saban like nah, man. It's like this enjoy this, enjoy this, 'cause it's never gonna be this good again. Do you plan to hire Kirby smart? Oh, you don't, huh? Oh, okay. Damn, maybe that's what they mad at. We should have fired Nick and hired Kirby. I know what they just like. Hey man, what about Dan Lennon? He looking pretty good right now. Yeah, man, but hey, that is Joel Anderson. Check him out as slate, H time. Check him out. Also, don't forget. Don't forget. My boys against your boys. You know? Only one of us roots for a team that's in that game. I don't know why you just can't acknowledge that they gotta push me to the break with that day of song. I bet I better not see no text from you on Saturday then. You know what I'm saying? No, no. I antagonize you and I'm gonna tell you guys this right fast about this dude I'm talking to. Joel creating the ultimate no lose situation. He didn't want them to hire sunny dikes. They keep winning all these games with sunny dikes. And so all he does is hold on, waiting on sunny dikes to lose a game. So every week it changes. We'll see if they beat Oklahoma state. Then they don't go home and stay. Well, we'll see if we do this. So basically, as soon as they lose, I told y'all about sunny dikes, but if they win, he'd be out here peacock. Look, man, I'm saying. Let's just get through this stretch right here, okay? He's got a losing record in November. For his whole career. And, you know, it could pop up.

"Well, here's the other part of this too. To me, you mentioned Chris Ballard. Erse must absolutely be using this as a show of confidence for Chris Ballard. And the reason I say that is, what general manager are you going to hire? Who's got this coach who ain't never coached before. You know what I mean? Like you come after this season and if I say is hell bent on Saturday being the coach, you're not going to be able to find another general manager. Because a general manager is going to want to bring on his own guy. But B, even if he can't bring on his own guy, this is not the guy that he necessarily is going to want to have. And is that a conversation you want to have with Jim or say about, I mean, you come in and it's like, all right, man, I know that, you know, just Saturday is your boy. He seems like a really nice dude, but business are going to work. That's just not a conversation. I wouldn't, I wouldn't have confidence in myself that I could convince him that this is a bad idea. What you do all of that is you come in and you lie. And then you spend your whole time just laying the groundwork. And you go have a real hard time doing this because it's kind of impossible not to like Jeff. It seems like a really nice guy. And what they Jeff go be good at is Jeff is a from what I can tell and what I've been told and I will cross her. You know what I mean? Okay, all right. Okay. All right. He know how to talk to all you know how to do the dougie. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but not like that archetype of it. You know what I mean? Okay. He's the big old white dude from Tucker somewhere outside Atlanta. You know, you're being white and from Atlanta don't mean nothing as it relates to your relationships with black people because white people avoid black people like the plague in Atlanta, right? So it ain't even that. He's a dude that just works well with all the rooms. And he's been that. And so, you know, maybe that's something that ends up being helpful to him. What I want people is I think about it though, going back to ruining rules stuff or whatever.

"So you can make an excuse for every juncture for why this didn't work out. Like Matt Ryan, I didn't think Matt Ryan finished, but I thought that he could be okay. 'cause the theory was that he's playing behind would have been the best offensive line, great running back, and Jonathan Taylor, and enough talented wide receiver to get by, but when the offensive line fell apart, then you see for sure that Matt Ryan ain't got nothing left. But his arm was understandable. His brain was at that I can figure out how to make it work, but I've been saying his arm was cooked for years, and then falcons fans. I was like, look, I didn't even say he was totally cooked, but his arm was cooked. But then you do that. He like, old people. Old people all like this, man. You can't take them out of their familiar situation, and they think everything gonna be okay. Well, they did that with Philip Rivers. I mean, it felt real was older. Yeah, but he wasn't cooked. Yeah. At that point, fair point, fair point. I hadn't been watching a lot of falcons games. So I couldn't tell, but on paper, it seemed to have made sense. And like you said, there wasn't a quarterback in the draft that anybody had to have this year. But I might make that case this year. I don't really. Look, man, there's more than enough reason to be concerned about whether or not Bryce youngers and for quarterback, right? We just gotten over the idea that he's not a big dude. That's my thing. I'm not here. And not in, I mean, he has athleticism. He has some escapability, but that is not necessarily his bag. So what advantage is he going to have in the NFL? Yeah, the size thing worries me, right? And he's not supreme great athlete, right? Like he can move, he can make things happen. But yeah, I'm worried about a 6 foot tall, a 195 pound quarterback. Like that's I'll always be there. He's mole in college. Yeah. Even if you want the shorter quarterback, he's not built to me at least. You tell me if I'm wrong, like Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray, like one of those sturdier type dudes. Those are barrels, man. Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson, and also like hyper athletes, man. Kyler Murray is like an incredible athlete. He was going to be, he was a first round pick in the MLB draft. I don't think Bryce has that kind of an athlete. And then I mean, I don't know, man. Reasonable minds can disagree about CJ Stroud, but the one thing that I've heard about him that they've said is that he's not great under pressure. It works, yeah. I don't know. And will love it so I mean, I don't know. You got to show me a quarterback from Kentucky first. I thought Tim couch was going to be amazing, you know? I'm from the era with Tim couch was supposed to be good. I tell you what I would do. I don't care what nobody says.

"Going back to the reporter who asked Nick saving the question. First of all, the reporter sounds like he looks like mclovin, which I'm sure it didn't help his case. But it's like a phrase that Nick Saban gets triggered by quality of opponent. And no matter what your question about the offense, engaging the offense, once you go that direction, if you're a campus reporter, a school reporter, you got to know you're going to get that. If you play it again, you'll hear what I mean. But I thought it was a fair question. It is a fair question, but when you start using a phrase, quality of opponent with Nick Saban, that is going to get his ire up. And either you know that or you can't not know it. I've got my ire up. I'm not sure what that means either. But are we supposed to act like Alabama's football schedule is all equal? Quality opponent? That's we're supposed to do that just so Nick Saban doesn't get upset. That's ridiculous. Yes, more. You know this question is coming if you play a directional or a dash.

David Toms Weighs Up LSU Football's Chances This Year
"LSU football and 12, no 11 days now, open Florida state. This is a tricky situation this year, I think, because we're used to having a clown as a head coach. We're used to having a guy that's always in front of the camera, doing all sorts of stuff. And it seems, for the first time since Nick Saban, that we actually have a football coach at the elm, and we're not seeing all of that extra hoopla media attention and all that. What do you think about Brian Kelly? What do you think about baby setting or align at 6 and a half games? Well, I mean, my first thought is, you know, woodwards of a friend of mine and he said to me, the biggest thing about Brian Kelly is now I do not have to babysit my football coach. And he goes, I needed a professional in there and run the program like we wanted all to be run as Tiger fans. And that's the bottom line is that, you know, the guys is a professional. You can tell by his media awareness and the way he runs the program, the way he's kind of cleaned up things. It's not like a good old boy network anymore and I look for him to do really well. I think as far as the odds go and what Vegas says, I think that they're a little bit out of touch with our improved roster.

That's all Stephen a still asking, I asked him about him being wrong in his picture who's going in that title game. I want to hear what he says about that. I also want to hear what he has to say about the two receivers Alabama head out. I've already heard his take on it. I want to hope he's still crying about that also. Stephen, I feel my number to big mouth. He knows basketball, but other than that, that's it. I mean, you know, Paul, I do not understand, I saw Colin coward come out with his little top ten.

He's just saying that. People like you to react. But you still lay in the top ten. Oh my goodness. He lives in LA and he's his best friend as Lincoln Riley, and he's just trying to pump up chip Kelly or whatever his name is out there. Well, I'll play his better days long gone the way I look. You made a comment the other day that Alabama was only a quarterback injury away from Georgia and Alabama being on the same playing field. You remember saying that? Vaguely. Okay, well, George could be a quarterback injury away from also Alabama Jordan being on the plane. But he'll play a bill. Could be. I mean, you know, I mean, we do have Brandon Graham. I moved up to the number that are number three. There, Daryl. The Kirby's got the wrong quarterback? Well, no. I'm not going to doubt this in Ben, but I mean, he Paul. Yeah, you are. I mean, we got a 5 star gunslinger up behind him, you know what I mean? I tell you, I tell you that he is. The leafs is the Alabama couple of scrubs back there. I think Alabama had a housing, trophy winning quarterback, the best people to play in college football and still got beat by Kirby smart. It took a three star nosed guard, a walk on quarterback, didn't even have you start barefoot receiver for almost the entire year. Lost his 5 star defensive player after the Florida game and still won a national title. And you know what? I went to George schedule, Paul. I made a hobby straight on it for you. I don't think why we should not be 12 zero in the playoff and anything can happen once you get to the playoffs, right? Let's go back to back and George goes back to back. Anyway, great to hear from me again, Daryl. Jason is in Georgia. Hello, Jason. Hey, Paul, how you doing? Very well. Thank you. I heard you talk about the coaches salaries. $10 million you're extremely limited 10.1 million possibilities are endless. Does legend have you ever met legend in person? Yeah, I've had lunch with legend before, yes. So he does do something besides Ric Flair and the fake laugh. There is something else besides that, right? Yeah, I think legends are a great personality. I've been around in legend a number of times. Okay. Well, when he calls the show, that's all he ever does. If you're that a social gathering, you'd want to go to the other side of the room. If that didn't work, you would try to go out the door. If that didn't work, you would die out the window. Because that is very annoying. And moral GM, he don't know anybody. Everybody he's never met is a fool and a psychopath. But there is one type of parent. That's the one he looks at every day in the mirror. But everybody else he's ever made is a full and a psychopath and that gets old too. But I would like for the legend to call him one day and not do the fake laugh in the Ric Flair thing. I mean, something else. Besides Alabama, Ric Flair in the fake laugh. Thank you. Thank you. Uncle bird. How are you? I'm doing fine. How are you? Very well. Thank you. Yeah, I'm just calling back in, I think, there's some stuff up last week and what's going on apologize, I guess, for that.

"How about this, Saban? I mean, again, if you make ten or $11 million a year and you're trailing the next guy by a few bucks, do you even feel it? I mean, when you go, when you go through the drive-through at your branch bank, do they say, oh, you're not making as much as Mel Tucker. I did that every day. Anyway, let's tell you what we are doing this afternoon. Now, we talked about this the other day, the Twitter spaces thing we did on Friday, where we're going to talk to somebody who was right there with us the other day, TJ is at a show is going to join us and we will always look forward to talking to TJ. He's a Georgia man too, by the way. What about the 4 o'clock guest here? Stephen, a smith. You asked for him, we bring him. The biggest name in the world will join us. Brett mcmurphy, did I say he's the biggest name in the world or Stephen a Smith? Bradley Murphy will also join us talking about whether or not Oregon might be leaving the pack 12. And desiree Reed Francois, the Missouri AD will also be here front and center. Yeah, we appreciate you all being here as well. And John starts us off in Louisville. Hey, John. Hey, welcome back. And we're going to need you to work 6 days a week going forward. You know that, right? You know, John, I appreciate everybody being here. I had the good fortune of being in Birmingham last night at an event raising awareness for use safety and football. And I got the opportunity to sit next to a dinner and then the interview, the legendary Lou holtz. So it was one of the more interesting experiences I've ever had. I'll bet. And by the way, speaking of Stephen a, you had some bold statements last week about kale and Nick, but I thought your boldest statement was when you threw shade on Stephen a's attire, do you recall? I do. And Stephen a has been off most of the summer. He had shoulder surgeries. I had a lot of things happening, and he came back a week ago in an orange sport. He claimed to be replicating something that dabo Sweeney would wear, but even Davos Sweeney would never wear anything that garish. Yeah, and to disrespect this wardrobe on his own show, that took a lot of how we say moxie. It shows you that I'm in the final couple of days of a contract and it doesn't matter anymore. Well, he was speechless when you said it should be interesting today. I look forward to it. He won't be speechless today. Shout out to Hooters. I mean, who doesn't like Hooters, right? Well, yeah. Well, we're talking about the NIL deal. Tell Randy to settle down. Randy. Randy, Randy told John said we were all going to Hooters at 4 o'clock instead of talking to streaming and Steven a smith. Now it's a nice they're doing an all day for about 51 offensive lineman. That's what I was talking about, Randy. Hey, Paul. I have one request. Sure. You've had some great out of SEC coaches. I'd like to add a few more. Just to follow up on what Jeff said, I think having the Ohio State coach would be great. I saw him in Big Ten media days and he's a great speaker and very focused. I also I know you won't like these two, but I also want to add Jim Harbaugh not because he won the coach of the year award last year. But he's got he was a Heisman finalist and played 14 years in the NHL and now the NFL. And I think he'd be interesting. And the other one is devil Sweeney because 6 straight years in the CFP. I think they would be some interesting guest. But the final one, the Big Ten commissioner, I've seen some snippets on a podcast that's coming up. And he's talking about adding having 20 teams in the Big Ten and also about paying the players. I think he'd be a great guest to have on. All very good. Hey, thank you very much, John. AC is up next. Thank you so much for taking my call. Thank you. Absolutely. Probably you should ask Stephen a Smith criticism that he takes at court. According to about 70, probably 80,000% of the 70 to 80% of the fans, they think Stephen a doesn't know anything about college football. I mean, that's what I'm hearing, because I don't know, man, it seems like only thing he says roll touch. Roll tide. You would come up with something better. You are turning into a guy named Jim Crow stuff. And just Jim called in. Let me tell you, just like your boy William from Tennessee said this guy is an expert. I'm talking about different schools. He attacks people, then he goes on to reference some quote from the Bible. I don't know what this guy's doing, but you're not doing your research, Jim. Probably should look into that Bible. It's just a teach you how to be nice and respectful. I'm just letting you know, and they're gonna come in. Just like JK said last week, my little feelings hurt. Paul, can you please save me? Is he going against him? He's just like Donald Trump. They lash out. Just like JK said, man. Then he got an idiot like a legend. I don't laugh at his joke. I think it's garbage. Black cat. That question. What the hell is black hat? I think it's a wrestling term. What the hell is I never heard of black hat before? And then he's gonna come in and hype up the Alabama crimson type. Do we really need the hype? I think on our country wants to see Alabama go down so bad and modern time, this idiot is running their mouth like Jerome legend. I don't know some monkeys cockroach out there. That's

"I have a proposal poll question for the next hour. So here in Seattle, everyone is flying in droves off the Seahawks bandwagon. Let's ride. Let's try. So with the deshaun Watson controversy, who would you have to have as your quarterback, deshaun Watson or Gino Smith? I'd rather have Gino Smith right now because Deshawn is not going to play. If they're both eligible, then you take deshaun Watson. You know, unless you say, look, I'm not going to follow the team. I don't want to be part of them. I don't want to root for them, not part of the fan base. But that's really hard to do. 'cause if you grow up watching a team, when we talk through thick and thin, it's usually when you have a tough loss, like an earnest binary fumbles or something. This is different. But that's what being a fan is nowadays. Hey, my guys are using steroids, where they got caught using your fan. Okay. We'll get through it. My team signed Michael Vick. All right, we'll get through it. Let me go down the list. I mean, this happens. This is difficult though. Aaron and Missouri, hi Aaron, what's on your mind? Hey Dan, it's a quick question. You have a pretty respective self safe and embellish. It appears to me to save and enjoy teaching the game and skill and nuance more, Belichick, enjoys the extra nose. Which one do you think lasts longer than their turns? I don't know when people reacted after the Sabin interview like he sounded sad about retirement. I don't want to retire, I can't imagine what retirement would be like. No, I probably don't sound sadder despondent or down, but I mean, that's how Nick Saban is. His delivery is like that. But I go back to Joe Paterno. Brent Musburger said, he will never stop coaching because when he stops he'll die. And look what happened. You know, Bear Bryant. I mean, there's certain coaches. This is what they do and they don't know what to do with themselves. These guys don't play golf. They probably don't have a big circle of friends and have book club and go out and go on golf excursions to Scotland or Ireland. Like he was talking about. He goes, you know, that's not what I do. So I get it. But sometimes the job holds on to you. You get the job, but then the job gets you. And you know, what's he going to do? He loves doing it. I just didn't know with all of the political stuff with college football, do you want to continue to do it? Because when you start, it's different. You know, nobody's transferring if they are. They got to sit out a year. There's no name image in likeness. No, you're making a good living, get to a bowl game, keep your job. Now he's got to win a national championship. You got these kids coming and going. You know, you get into a back and forth with Jimbo Fisher. Like, there's a lot going on social media. And I just didn't know at some point because Belichick doesn't have to deal with this. That's why I think Belichick coaches longer. He doesn't have to deal with this much. Yeah. And I think Alabama is one of those schools, let Nick Saban have two straight three losing season three game losing seasons. He's on the hot seat. Don't hold your breath for that. Yeah. Oh, no, no, it won't happen, but I do think he's been tempted. I think that that Texas opening, whether they would have created an opening. I think a couple of years ago that he was starting to look at, man, has anybody satisfied or happy around here. If we don't win a national championship, and here they are, the number one team in college football final hour coming up, Nick Saban used to coach in the NFL with the dolphins. The dolphins make Darius Rucker cry. He'll join us coming up. More phone calls as well. It's a meat Friday. I got to go inspect the traeger's. It's part of my job responsibilities, final hour coming up. There's nothing like being

We read them all. We're actively trying to get better. We've got a great game plan for you today. Nick Saban joins the show for the very first time. He's the winner of 7 national championships and the architect to arguably the greatest run we've ever seen in the history of college football. So I won't waste any more of your time. Let's get to the goat, Nick Saban. He's the head coach of the Alabama crimson Todd, and in my opinion, then albeit it might be a biased one. I'm not sure it's close. I think he's the greatest head football coach in the history of college football. He's Nick Saban coach. I really appreciate the fact that you go on vacation at the end of June. And you came back from vacation just to be a part of the podcast. That really means a lot. Thank you so much for doing that. Or you know I'd do anything for you, Greg, and I appreciate you so much. And I do appreciate you saying what you say. About me. But, you know, I really came back because we have 7 on 7, you know, a couple days a week, so I kind of try to come back and make sure I'm staying on top of things and I'm making sure the players are doing things the way we want them to do it and that's the only got a couple hours a week in the summertime that you can spend with the players as coaches. So we got to try to make the most of it and the way things are now. The only time we can go on vacation is in July. So we got to kind of rotate our way in here so we got enough people to mine the store. I'm amazed by that because it feels like coach, the process is so ingrained. The culture is so ingrained. It's player led in so many ways. And yet here you guys come back to make sure that there's always somebody watching always somebody that you could maybe approach as a player if I had a question I could go to a coach now and that was illegal back in the day, but now it's very legal. So how do you balance that between the time that you spend with the players and the time they spend the strength and conditioning program, which is what we exclusively were able to do back in the day. Right. Well, basically, we still have, you know, leader team led 7 on 7 few plays of team where the coaches aren't there. But what we are allowed to do now is individual technique teaching for two hours a week. So we have a couple 7 minute individual periods where we go out and teach the technique of whatever the install is for that day. So that players have a better chance that when we do do it in a team situation or a 7 on 7 situation, especially the young players, they've had an opportunity to do it. But, you know, I think this whole concept is more challenging to get players to take the responsibility of leadership. I think a lot of guys are willing to go out there and work hard and set a good example and actually be somebody that somebody wants to emulate. But when you take that next step of trying to help somebody for their benefit by making them be accountable, teammate the teammate. Then, you know, that's a big step for a lot of guys to take because I think, you know, guys get so much positive, self gratification from social media, all these external they grow up sort of concerned about what everybody thinks of them. So they don't want to think that they don't want their teammate to think poorly of them because they said something to them that maybe the guy didn't like, even though it was in his best interest to do, I think getting guys to get to that point where you're holding people accountable. On and off the field, which is really in their best interest, which as coaches, we do that all the time. But player to player, I think it's getting a little bit more challenging than it used to be. Yeah, I understand that. And I know we've talked about it getting guys to change their behavior with the risk of freedom of transfer things that it's just harder to coach guys now. It's understandable completely. I remember coach vividly leading up to the 2009 season. I started the Twitter. And at that point, Twitter was relatively new. And now it's obviously a big part of what these kids have growing up and they've grown up with. So is it different coaching in the social media age as compared to the age back when I was playing before social media really existed? It may be different for some people. I think it's how it affects you. How does social media affect you? I mean, do you really get your self gratification like I always thought, for example, you as a player, you know, you were a perfectionist, you wanted to get it right. You were always well prepared. You weren't necessarily doing it because of the self gratification you got from some Internet source. You were doing it because you wanted to do it well, and you got a lot of positive self gratification. Knowing that you did it well. Did your best, you know, to try to be the best you could be. Not only for yourself, but for your teammates. You know, football's a great team game because not only do you have to be responsible and accountable to do your job, you got to be responsible accountable the other ten guys, you know, you're playing with because everybody's got to do it right for it to work the way you want it to work. So, you know, I think it's how it affects you. But I do think that some people get, you know, sort of totally immersed, I end what the external factors are saying about them or whatever. And I think then all of a sudden you start to do things to please those factors rather than to please yourself. And then I don't think you can get the same kind of self

"So Aaron, the national championship game is, of course, a rematch, Alabama and Georgia, squared off back in early December and Alabama won that one, 41 to 24. Looking back at that game, what were your big takeaways? One, how well album was offensive line play because it's been the relative weakness of this team this year. Especially that particular game was a week after Bryce young got sacked 7 times at auburn, and everyone was really down on album. If you can't be successful against the sort of average middling auburn team, how are you going to beat clearly the best team in college football, which was Georgia and the strength of Georgia is their defense. But the offensive line answered the call. That offensive line, a week ago, this time you got a salute because he had time is nest said to point his receiver the way he goes. No rush, handled well no sacks allowed. My Georgia Bryce young basically won the Heisman Trophy that night by what he did. Plenty of time Aaron Al manzer Jameson Williams touchdown. So you go from maybe the worst performance that we've seen from a saving team in years to maybe the best within a week's time span and that happened because the offensive line stood up and made great plays against basically one of the best defenses we've seen in college football in the last ten years. And looking forward to the game on Monday, what do you think will be the keys to Alabama beating the bulldogs for a second time this season? What do you think this game will hinge on? Yeah, I think it's Alabama's adaptability. I don't think Georgia's defense is going to play it the same. I think they're going to probably bring a lot more pressure. So their ability to adapt to that in game and handle that. And utterly shocked that that first matchup played out the way that I didn't expect all of them to get 41 points. I mean, the previous high and points to Georgia had allowed that season with 17 an album, I got 41. So I think George is going to play a lot better, and I think album is going to have to play even better than they did back in early December. And lastly, Aaron, you know, when a team is as successful as Alabama has been recently, imagine it's easy for all of these championship seasons to sort of blend together. But from your standpoint, as someone who again has covered the crimson tie for quite a while now, what stands out to you about this year's Alabama team. What do you think you will remember most about this year's group? The fact that it was so so much of a roller coaster. And I say that people from the outside are like, what are you talking about? They lost one game at Texas a and M and it was only about three points. I get that, but this was an Alabama team I think I believe that play 5 games that were one score that was decided by one score. So this team sort of played down to the level that are competition all year. There were a lot of key injuries. And no one wants to hear about adversity with a team that's ranked number one in the country, but it really was. And it's all relative, but in terms of what we normally see from Alabama team, they had to deal with a lot more adversity. Normally offensive line is one of the strengths of the team. It is not been a strength this year. Normally Alabama can run at will when it wants to. They weren't able to do that. But the team just never really lost belief in itself even as myself in the media and a lot of the fans did. And I think that speaks to two things. One, what Nick Saban's built, how he's recruited how he's developed. And two, I think it speaks to the general landscape college football issue. There weren't lot of great teams out there. There were a lot of good teams. It was one probably great team consistently that was Georgia, but I think that's why all I got here because college football is a little weaker across the landscape and the fact that Nick Saban in those players finally listened to him and they finally bought in and they got here.

"Nick Saban if he hasn't cemented his legacy as the greatest college football coach of all time he has certainly taken another step in that direction. Nick Saban and the Alabama crimson tide are headed to yet another national championship game. For Saban, a win next Monday would give him 7 national championships in 14 full seasons at Alabama. So how exactly does the guy do it? Today, the athletics Aaron subtle breaks down one of Sabin's secret weapons, recruiting, and it turns out it's a world full of meticulous research, hard truths, and soul food. From wondering in the athletic, I'm under scalzo. It's Monday, January 3rd, and this is. The lead. Aaron settles, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. So, Aaron, if I have this correct, you are from Alabama. You went to the university of Alabama. You've been living in Tuscaloosa and covering the crimson tide for more than a decade now. So my question is, have you been given to the key to the city out or the key to the state? If not, how many years away would you say you are? Well, I don't know about me. I know Nick said everyone got those honors a long time ago, but I feel like I've been on a historic ride that my career has sort of paralleled Nick Saban's arrival to Tuscaloosa and all of the success that he's had. So whether it's true or not, I'm gonna take partial credit for some of the success albay was had during that time. Well, yeah, get that man a key. He is the lucky charm. Well Aaron, you were in Arlington for the cotton bowl on Friday. The atmosphere of the game seemed incredible. Like there just seemed to be this manic energy coming from the Alabama fans in particular. Was it as loud and wild in person as it seemed on TV? It was, you know, but the press box there in Arlington at AT&T Stadium, we were basically above the Cincinnati section. So they were more amplified to us. And I would say they probably had at least a 55 45 split of the crowd Cincinnati was their first trip to the playoffs. They're very excited. They sort of have that Midwest sports energy, which is more in your face than a typical SEC crowd. So they were really loud, but I'll be able to fans, even though it's sort of gotten to be old hat, all the success that they've had, all the college football playoff trips that they've had, they made themselves heard there, certainly. For sure. Well, let's talk about the game itself for a minute. You know, this Alabama offense has largely been defined this season by Heisman winter Bryce young and his very talented group of receivers. But after the win over Cincinnati on Friday, you wrote about the guy who in your eyes was the real hero of the game. So tell us about running back Brian Robinson junior and his performance. What stood out to you? Just the toughness. Brian Robinson is, I'm not shying away from contact. You're in front of me. My goal is to go through you. Robinson. No signs of being hurt there any lowered his head and powered forward. And there was one I really felt set the tone for the game. He got stopped probably three yards in the backfield and just refused to go down until he got a four yard game. That was the game plan was to feature him that we respect what Cincinnati has in their defensive backfield. And even though we're very explosive offensive team, we feel our advantage in this game is in the trenches. So let's let our big guys up front are running back, do the work and let Brian go to work and he did. And a good bounce by Brian Robinson. First down in the bear cap territory inside the 40 for over 200 yards, it was the most rushing yards album has ever had from a running back in a bowl performance. Robinson runs over the defense and has the Alabama first down at the 25. I think that set the tone for the game and I think that continued office blanket opening up really big holes from. And even when they didn't, he ran through guys and made yards after contact. It seems like Brian Robinson has also become a real fan favorite in Tuscaloosa. Can you explain why that is and tell us a little about his background? Yeah, Brian Robinson, he's from Tuscaloosa. And so he grew up literally right down the road from the university of Alabama. We've known what he could do for a long time, but he had a very slow build to that performance that we saw in the cotton bowl because he had to wait his turn. He had hurt way behind Josh Jacobs and naji Harris. And so I asked Brian after the game, he didn't run and transfer when things got tough. He gave a quote that it's been lighting my mentions on Twitter on fire. I mean, I literally put all my heart into this. You know, this university, you know, that team, that locker room, you know, I don't know want to let you know my brother's down on that one let my coach it down. I don't know I want to let this university down. So, no, I just give it everything I got, you know, every chance I get. It's a very humble guy. As you mentioned, you know, this album offense features a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, they've got jamison Williams on the outside whose pure speed and for the last few years, Alabama has been known as a passing team. And that's sort of weird to think about because through the majority of Nick Saban's career in Alabama, you thought a big offensive line, you thought great running back. And now it was sort of a throwback performance. And so when it was his turn, even though he got the highlight of it, he was sharing it with his teammates around him. And what did Nick Saban have to say about his performance after the game? I think Nick Saban used it as an example for younger players who get frustrated. Well, I think anytime a guy spends as much time behind as many good players as be Robb did, never complains, always works hard, I am willing to have the patience to wait his turn. There's nothing wrong with guys transferring. And next step is not against that. But Nick Saban does see some virtue in dramatic having some adversity in your career in figuring out how to deal with it. There are so many players now that are willing to cut and run as soon as things don't happen. And they get immediate self gratification from whatever their circumstance is and he shortly showed a tremendous amount of resiliency to stick with it, stay in a program, keep working. So I think Nick Saban has used Brian sort of as an example of, this is what happens when you do things the right way. Well, on the topic of Nick Saban, developing players. And I wonder how have you tell us about one of the things that has made Nick Saban so successful during his time at Alabama? And that's recruiting. This is the part where I should probably remind people that he has become so iconic as a recruiter that he was actually asked to play himself. In the movie, the blind side. This is my daughter college. Hi, pleasure to meet you. And you must be Leanne. That would be me, coach, Saban. Nice to meet you. Just call me Nick. So, Aaron, can you give us a sense first of just how successful and saving has been as a recruiter during his time at Alabama? How have his incoming classes stacked up over the years? It's been incredible. Since 2008, which was his first full recruiting class, they've been top 5 every year. And number one a lot. And I think arguably college football greatest recruiter of all time, which is weird because when you look at him and you judge him through the snapshots we see through the media, he can come across very gruff, very short, but he's exactly the opposite when he's recruiting the young man. He's got a ton of charm, he connects with parents very well. He finds out what's important to you and says this is how coming to my program will benefit that. Speaking of charm, by the way, he also charmed Sandra Bullock's character in the blind side. That's right. Interior decorating style if I recall correctly. You got it. This is an incredible home that wins their balances are a nice touch. Well, thank you. You obviously have excellent taste. Are we appreciate quality and recognize it when we see it? Well, Aaron you and our colleague Nicole our Bach recently dug up some really great stories that I think show exactly how Nick Saban operates as recruiter and what makes him so effective in that role, aside from, you know, the apparent charm. Can you tell us what you learned from current Michigan state head coach Mel Tucker when he was once recruited by Sabin to play at the.

"Three alabama quarterbacks were in the same quarterback room two thousand eighteen. And those three quarterbacks are going to be day one starters for this season magnum of the jalen hurts the eagles and to talk about lot of the miami dolphins and the man that helped put that all together is the best course in college football without any question right now. Here's nick saban head coach alabama. They're number one in the country in the preseason. They're gonna play number fourteen miami three thirty eastern time. Abc coats saving is here. Thanks good your hotline coach. I laid it out there about your quarterbacks. And i know that there's a lot of pry but what is it like for you. See three guys who are on your team at one time about the be started at the same time day when the season in the nfl. I'm excited for them on. This is something that they all work very very hard for. You know their dream growing up. But i think the the key thing that everybody should remember out there. Is you know. These guys really focused on the right things when they were in college. They all focused on their development. They all supportive of each other and they all improved dramatically. You know as college players that enable them to get the opportunities that they have now which you know. We're excited for them and i hope they all do well coach. What what went into mack. Jones basically having sit with you for a little bit and latest turn to now becoming the week one starter with the new england patriots right. I think you know the biggest thing for mac. When as as a young player it was He wasn't that heavily recruited so. I don't think he had the same expectations that you know a lot of players you know. Come with a think they should be a starter as a freshman or whatever. I think mac had the right You know sort of disposition about where he was player. He knew he had to get bigger. He knew he had to get stronger. And it was focused on you. Know what do i have to do develop so And i think that was the key to him becoming a really good player. I think he learned a lot from being around the other players But i think he also learned how to control his emotions. Stay in the right place. Make good choices and decisions not get affected by a bad play Which all things that really helped him become a really really consistent player. He's accurate with the ball. He's very smart. He's gonna read and and get the ball in the right place and as a quarterback. That's what you do. You distribute the ball and to get the confidence in your teammates that you're gonna do that on a consistent basis in the right way. I think is something that really can be helpful to you. Know any quarterback Because the people around you like that position they to be playing well. If you're going to play. Well we are the head coach. Alabama nick sabin on a progressive. How coach obviously leading into the draft. You and bill belichick have a great relationship. What were your conversations like about mack. Jones leading into it well Three days up until the draft. I get lots of phone calls and Not just because a mac but really because of the six players that we had eight players that we got dixon. The first couple of rounds and amazingly enough. Not very many of those questions are about. What kind of player. A guy goes Most of the questions are about. What kind of leader is kind of character does he have. How's he going to impact the team. Is he going to be a good teammate. He's going to represent the organization. Well you know. It's amazing that. I think a lot of players sometimes done understand the importance of that side of Creating value for yourself by being the right kind of person happened the right competitive character. And i think my conversations with bill were more about that type of stuff than it really was about You know can this guy. Throw the ball fifty yards down field. I think everybody's figures that out pretty much drum coach Nick sabin joining us. Here on keyshawn. Jay williams zubin seven time national champion coach savings. Let me get there right. A couple of years ago coach saving. You recruit my son. I said in your office and we had a detailed conversation about the volvo quarterback position in the sec conference from a read option standpoint in. I remember when you were talking to me. You said that you were more leaning toward the read option style at this point because you have practice against it so much because of the teams within the conference. But you hadn't had a quarterback quite like that you were more of the traditional. Aj mccaren types. The bigger guys now all of a sudden over the last several years. You somewhat shifted to a smaller quarterback whether it was to whether it was jalen hurts and now the incredible young man that you guys plucked out of our backyard embrace young you just name the starter. What is he done to impress you to get the nod opening day Well prices very consistent Smart understands the offense You know was very accurate with the ball and Understand because he is you know he's not a six four guy he really does understand how to move in the pocket and Five one does to make throws And you know he's athletic His quick So he can extend plays But the thing i like about a most is He really does try to execute What's there doesn't try to make Things happen by making bad decisions and Also i think he's very very consistent and these improved you know. His presence is leadership. I think has come with confidence. So we're excited to see how our whole offensive team plays and how they play around. Which with a lot of new young players. That's always going to be the key for you. Know bryce to be able to Not play well just for himself but have everybody around the play. Well as well coats saving always amazing marvel at how at your age. And i hate to bring agent at a conversation but you still have a young man's quality about you still have a young man's grit about you. When it keeps getting a younger game comes when it comes to college football coaching. Where does that come from with you. It's a good question I enjoy what. I do You know the the goal of the program here is to help. The players be more successful in life or having been involved with the program whether it's personal development academic support developing careers off field developing careers on the shield so there's a lot of positive self-gratification you know and that it seemed guys develop and be successful and i love. Coaching are like teaching like being around the players. The relationships that you have being a part of a team as something that i've done since i was in the nine years old playing little league baseball so I just always enjoy the opportunity to be able to do it in college. You lose about twenty five percent of your team every year or so. It's almost like taking a new job in terms of the challenge that you have to try to get the next team You know where they need to be the be successful. And that's that's that's something that's takes. You know a lot of energy a lot of enthusiasm and you gotta be very committed to it When i'm not that. I guess i won't do this anymore. But i certainly joy you know. So they'll when now a lot What i was gonna say. What's the secret considering. I mean you've dealt with covert we're we're dealing with. Nfl lsu's now everybody wants to get paid for by thinks. They're bigger than what they are. How do you manage expectations and.

"Michael vehicle card battlers is something made him money. Alex smith turned him and made him some money. I'm like there's a recurring theme. You read new york jets. Don't have andy damn read. So it's kinda like you know. I get it understand it. Maybe a mike leflore could be that guy in calling plays in teaching the quarterback. Maybe that could be the case. But he's got a long ways to go in a short time to get there have him if he plays similar tile. Justin herbert play last year. He's well on his way absolutely if he just heard then that's just like a. Yeah exactly if he played in herbert. They're gonna put a status update that that sounds like a reasonable expectation. No no no. It's not really that's not reason. Not because. I don't know just in herbert over exceeded those expectations. People thought he was going to be good or decent. Nobody expected that from your. I mean you don't think that's feasible if he should retire kurt. Herbert was one of the top six quarterbacks in the nfl last year despite satistics. I'm just talking about plate. Damn the statistics. I'm joe about the way he was playing just looked different. The top six dudes okay. Yeah he just looked just look different than men. He got the ball in his hands. When the whole thing happened with tyrod taylor of the charge and the whole medical thing and they miscommunicate. Whatever that was it wasn't a miscommunication. I hit you in the wrong spot or whatever whatever that was adjusted. Herb hit the right spot. After that i would not have so many so what. What's who's quarterback that played this year if you said. Hey zac wilson play like this guy. Then we're okay. A mid mid pack of the guy mecca if he plays like baker mayfield the season the first season i happened to see because the browns at the best offensive line of football they. I they ran. Hello the ball charleston. They play when they baker mayfield to make plays here at twenty six touchdowns and nine in sections and when the pittsburgh steelers made mistakes and that first playoff game baker mayfield. Turn that into touchdowns. That's what you want. Zach wilson at least come close to justin herbert. The way he played last year guys. That was a different level as a rookie. Especially nobody saw that coming. You kind of persons act wilson. I know tony romo was trying to do. I just think you're asking for trouble. Your jets fan to believe that hyperbole don't even need him. I don't need him to play. Like baker mayfield because baker mayfield led his team to the playoffs. I needed to play. If you wanna look at cops. Gimme with joe borough gay. Just take that as borough was on his way to do pretty well. I mean that's that's a good. That's good for rookie. With joe bro was able to do give me that. Just give me some of that. And i'm i'm happy with that. Brought me a little bit of that image. Oberle did that behind a password. Offensive line jets offensive line should be a little bit better than joe borough have last year and they got big becton those of course they drafted my man out of se. Alice good yeah. They should be okay. Run the football play tough defense. Don't put your defense on the short field. The last thing. I wanted to zach wilson. Anybody believed that if he gets close to justin. Herbert i understand. Go nuts down from patrick mahomes and we start off with saint patrick mahomes for patrick mahomes see. Here's the difference when you say a notch down for patrick mahomes justin. Herbert is a notch. Down from patrick mahomes based on what he did last year. Just based on the way he played as a rookie. You typically would. Quarterbacks play like justin herber play. They don't fall off a cliff. They only continue to go up then a eventually even out but that even out is still what they did last year last year. Eight forty seven hundred yard passer on a consistent basis interception rate down passing efficiency there. That's where you start to say. Okay patrick mahomes. In like freddie said i get with tony romo again understand he. He's a big guy. I get it i understand it but you pushing it a bit much stupi. He's he's the big guy told he's the big guy you know you got. Predictably every my man. Tony feel only use my floor seats at maths games ninety built so i need.

And doing this in milwaukee. It's a remarkable story. One hundred percent greenie as the daughter of immigrants the way he talked about his upbringing. That resonated with me cheaply when you see these struggles that the obstacles that your parents go through to to put you in a better situation. There's nothing sweeter than that and that picture of him crying on the bench that broke me because that was beautiful. One time his mother was selling things street. that's how he described it now.

He still won't say which team it was but he did say this to jim gray. He said there's private things for me. That are going to remain motivational. They know who they are. It's fine everyone has a choice to choose. I think what you realize. There's not as many smart people as you think. And then listen to this. He goes on to say. That's the reality. I think it'd be a no brainer if you said. Hey you've got a chance to get wayne gretzky on your team. You got a chance to have michael jordan on your team. We don't need him. no thanks. We're good. That was in an interview with jim gray and so many things about that that i find fascinating jeff. I think a lot of us have put brady in the conversation with the michael. Jordan's wayne gretzky's.
