I used to tell people that CNS could never reach the level of admiration of CPB because Coach Bryant was Bama, Coach Saban was a mercenary. Okay, I was wrong.


LOL - it was going to take sustained success and being here for a while for Saban to get to that same sort of place. I'll be honest, I'm not sure many of us expected EITHER thing when he first got here.

Saban has definitely softened and genuinely seems to love Alabama and his players. It's nice to see him slow down enough to savor his success and enjoy his job a bit more. That said, I don't want to see him get too soft and sentimental yet---his manic drive is what made him the GOAT. Let's hope that stays alive in him for at least a few more years. This last recruiting cycle has me slightly nervous the drive and focus may not be what it was, although a sick 2019 class is all it will take to erase those doubts.
