Gary Patterson literally has a woman that just walks around behind him holding a towel the entire game so he can wipe his face with it 6-7 times.

He does a lot for Coach. Pretty much his right hand man for all the small stuff. Pulls his car around for him, runs various errands throughout the week, etc..

Basically eliminates any need to focus on anything but football. It’s pretty cool and he’s a great asset.

Guy needs to write a book when he hangs it up. He's seen the best and the worst.

You'll see a lot in Bama that reminds you of the 60s.

Been at Bama for 36 years. He also is the one to put the Coke bottle on the podium for Saban's pressers.

Gatekeeper of Nick Saban's autograph calmly manages the chaos

quote:

He's Cedric Burns, the guy you've seen on Nick Saban's hip but probably don't know. Officially, he's listed as Alabama's athletics relations coordinator. Every year since Saban arrived in 2007, Burns has been the one who stands between the few hundred autograph-hungry golf fans and a Saban signature.

His run as an assistant to Alabama coaches dates back 36 years at this point -- reaching all the way back to the end of the Bear Bryant era.

No news conference begins before Burns delivers the sponsored soda bottle to the podium. There's always a smile for the gathered reporters, though his decades of stories remain confidential. That loyalty is certainly related to his longevity.

Is 'Athletic Relations Coordinator' that hard to say? My goodness, "personal assistant" sounds too much like an indentured servant. The man makes good bank.

I've seen this. And she looks like she's disgusted to hold that towel with his fat-body stinky sweat. He just looks like he smells bad.

I'm sure the boosters will have him taken care of when he retires. Just imagine the information this fella can provide.
