“A lot of this is Kirby and I’s background with Coach Saban. When you’re at Alabama, whether it’s a short time or a long time, there’s a lot of lessons to be learned. Not everybody is going to be Nick Saban but there are a lot of lessons to be learned and there’s some method to the madness of how he goes about his business.

“I think we both took some pretty good notes of trying to build a program and an organization that could be sustainable and not just one year, having a really good year and then be down. But be sustainable to where you’re competitive and you’re competing for championships year in and year out.”
