Saban has been telling people privately that he thinks Coker, who attempted just 36 passes last year at Florida State, has the physical and mental makeup to be the best quarterback he's had at Alabama.

"He can be the best," Fisher said last week when he visited ESPN. "He's talented. He's driven. He has all the tools. ... I don't say all that to put pressure on him. That's how much I think of him."

At 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, and with what's around him, it would be surprising if Coker were to stay longer than a year with the Tide. The NFL will become interested in him quickly, especially if he leads Bama to the first-ever playoff.

Miles has said Fournette, RecruitingNation's No. 1 overall prospect in 2014, has a Michael Jordan-like desire to be special. Teammates compare his frame -- 6-1, 230 pounds -- to what Adrian Peterson must have looked like as a freshman at Oklahoma.
