I'm still trying to figure out what Saban see's in this DC. To have a guy with the all-star power of Strong sitting on the bench while Golding does his DC imitation is really fascinating on a lot of levels. When something just doesn't add up, I've learned the hard way, you're probably overthinking it. So what's the simplest answer here?

Friendship. I think coach Saban is so in like with this Guy that he's going to try and make him a better DC. And I get, sometimes people just click. Genetics, DNA, whatever. They get your jokes and you get theirs, you share all that commonality and great chemistry, it's a beautiful thing.

I can see that type of sentiment working well with Miss Terry, and I readily commend coach for choosing well. But does it work on the job? Can you afford to be so in-like with your employee that your tolerance and decision making is altered? After year 2, unlike Miss Terry, there are a lot of Bama fans who are still wondering what the coach sees in this guy?

I am just happy to see whether this was a joke or actually serious that it didn't immediately devolve into direct verbal abuse. I joked about it first.
