BOL Round Table

Never in a million years did I think that Coach Saban would come...I actually wanted and thought our best option at the time was Paul Johnson.

I'm glad Mal got his man... I was ELATED when I heard Coach Saban was coming.

I thought Shula deserved another year, when he was fired my first pick would have been Gruden. I hated the RR talk, I viewed him like I saw Price, I hated the Offense they ran and didn't think it was a fit for Alabama.

When they signed CNS I was not thrilled at first. I viewed him as a hired gun and wondered how long he would stay and if he would embrace the Alabama tradition. I have warmed to CNS slow but am now a big fan. My like for CNS has nothing to do with NC or wins and loses. I admire the way he makes our players graduate, handle themselves, he is teaching them how to be men not just ball players. Looking back I see his hire was the best that could have been made, we have the best of all worlds with CNS. RTR
