I’m not reading 7 pages to see what has been covered, but I will mention a couple things regarding Saban and Mauck.

Mauck only came to LSU b/c of Saban, so everything else really pales in comparison, considering what they accomplished together.

I’ve been privy to many candid conversations about Saban with people who have worked closely with him at LSU and AL. It goes w/o saying what motivates the man, and what he demands from those around and under him. I also have met Mauck and we happen to share the same profession.

LSU’s only loss in 2003 was at home to FL, 19-7, to a Ron Zook led Gator team. The offense scored no points in that game. Mauck took the DAT (standardized dental aptitude test equivalent to MCAT for medical) on that same day, before the game.

Matt has went on to have a very successful practice and career in Denver, but you can bet that was little consolation to Nick back in 2003. LOL

I’m certain their relationship was strained at some point based on differences in their priorities, through no real fault of their own, just different perspectives.

Interesting. So what you're saying is that unlike Cardale Jones, Mauck actually did come to play school?

First I've heard of that.

Not gonna lie I would have been pretty pissed if I had known that at the time. Was there really no other time he could have taken it? The spring or the previous summer?

@ making my sympathize with Saban.
