Special date in SEC history

Armen Keteyian, Finebaum, and a few others (including Jimmy Sexton) have a slightly different version of the events, but this is still an interesting read.

That snub was the greatest thing to happen to Alabama in the modern era

After the deal was complete, Saban, his wife Terry and Moore jumped on a plane from Miami to Tuscaloosa for the new coach's introductory press conference. Moore later told Neinas as they were in the air, Saban turned to his new boss and made only one promise.

"I just want you to know you've hired a horseshite football coach," Saban told Moore. "But nobody will out-recruit me."

That's a funny statement, but only part true. I don't think he's a horseshite football coach, but he was right about nobody our-recruiting him.

I further wonder what would have been had Mike Price stayed out of strip clubs.

He's a good enough coach to know its more about the horses than anything else

Saban's strengths are his recruiting, his management of the program, and the psychology of success. That last part is often overlooked, but I believe that's what really separates him from other coaches.

My greatest contribution to alabama football was making the call to the finebaum show live from the CFA awards show behind Rich Rod and his wife.

Would love to take the Rant time machine back to the end of 2006/beginning of 2007 and see what the discussion was like on here during the whole Rich Rod snub to Saban hire saga.

I was so relieved, even though things looked bleak at the time. I thought Rich Rod was shite at the time.
