Good stuff here

" But on Sundays, Moore would saunter into Saban's office, usually wearing a ball cap, sit down and not say a whole lot.
Finally, Saban would say something to Moore to get him talking. "I remember Mark Ingram used to always carry the ball in his right hand and would never change it over to his left hand," Saban says.

"He had just had a fabulous game, too, and I'm watching the tape and say to Mal, 'You know, we can't get this guy to carry the ball in the proper hand.'"
Moore responds by launching into a story about when he was coaching for Bryant and how quarterback Jeff Rutledge had a tendency to drop his head and lower his eyes right before he'd throw the ball, which hurt his accuracy.

"So Mal gave Coach Bryant this long dissertation of how he was going to get him throwing it better," Saban says. "Coach Bryant listened to all he had to say and turned to him and said, 'Don't [mess] with him.'

It was Moore's sage way of telling Saban to leave well enough alone with Ingram, who went on to win the Heisman Trophy.

Mal Moore saved Alabama football and is directly responsible for all the improvements that have gone on on campus.
