I wonder if he will also keep “Two Minute Drills” and “Goal Line” as a part of practice too - keeping the other traditions unique to Nick Saban.

Hope "winning multiple championships" also remains as one.

Was expecting to see steroids or at least deer antler spray.

I'm glad Nick Saban invented fourth quarter conditioning.

The 4th quarter program is not a Saban thing. It's a Bama thing brought in by Bear Bryant. It has been used by every coach since.
It relies heavily on drills that wrestlers would use for conditioning. Talked to Murry Legg once and he said the 4th quarter program was straight out of hell.
