Those were some good times. Two things he mentioned tackling chest to chest(I don't know how much our former defensive staff talked about tackling or practiced it. Also even Saban thinks the PMAC needs to be fixed.

People forget how much of a sense of humor the guy has. That story his pastor told him about Tiger Stadium being closer to the kingdom of Heaven!

Saban's attention to detail is unmatched.

That was the most concerning thing about his defense all year. Tackling was terrible especially by the DBs. Lineman, LB's and DBs need to be taught different tackling techniques. For example lineman can overpower RBs but DBs cannot. Our DBs tackled way too high on RBs and lost leverage every time. If DBs want to know how to tackle watch the Honey Badger during his prime. A smallish dude that brought down big RBs and TEs one on one. Tyrann Mathieu knows how to use leverage.

FIFY

Dude became an insufferable bastard as armor for the criticism he took for the way he bailed on his “dream” of the NFL after he lectured the media about how he was “not going to be the coach at Alabama”.


It changed quickly, but he was a pariah for that offseason, and just never took down the wall he put up around himself.

It paid off, as the media became his scared and beaten little pets that carried water for him for the next 15 years.

But it turned him into a unlikable tyrant.
