Saban putting players in the league - Auburn players to be specific

That's a cool story. Wish they would elaborate on what kind of information

Story seems so incomplete. I wish they would've said how Saban came to know he was in Tuscaloosa or who contacted who. And like the poster above said, what kind of things did he tell him, some kind of information or something.

Cool story though.

Did these 2 paragraphs not answer this?

Powers, 28, bypassed his senior year at Auburn for the 2009 NFL Draft. Before having a workout with the New England Patriots, Powers received a call from Will Muschamp, who was his defensive coordinator at Auburn in 2006 and 2007, about someone he should contact – Saban.

“My girlfriend at the time, wife now, is a Bama grad and I was actually in Tuscaloosa the weekend before the workout,” said Powers, who will look to help Arizona beat Green Bay in Saturday’s NFC divisional playoff game at University of Phoenix Stadium. “Muschamp gave me a call and was like, ‘Are you in Tuscaloosa?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ He was like, ‘Nick want to holla at you.’ I was like, ‘What?’”

I, too, would like to be privy.

And Nick was all "Yo!" And I was like "No way!" And Nick was like "WAY!"

Okay, that image made me chuckle.


Anyway, this story doesn't surprise me. Saban has always struck me as a classy, upstanding type of guy. Not the most gregarious person, but being gregarious is irrelevant to your character. Most of the nastier accusations regarding him seemed to have little if any corroboration and plenty of ulterior motives. So Saban's a workaholic who isn't comfortable dealing with the public. As long as he is admired by people who actually know him, including his players, who gives a damn what random (and not-so-random) members of the public think?
