On that note, I’ll take my leave. Thanks to Deadspin for having me, and thanks to you all for the questions. Read more

He did not take it well. His team gave up a lead and he lost to Urban, who now has one fewer national titles than he does. He dealt with it by recruiting the next day. Read more

Well, I think to a lot of people, the answer to your question would be “Nick Saban.” Read more

Yes. Read more

No. And he always throws in an “a’ight?” Read more

That has indeed been the case in the last few years. And it is curious. He hired Mel Tucker, the former DC of the Bears, to help with the secondary this year. Read more

Recruiting, first and foremost. Organization and never being happy with success. Read more

The NFL was an itch he had to scratch. And I can also see why he left the Dolphins for Bama. He’s a better college coach than pro coach. And the… Read more

The Miami media hailed him as “St. Nick” when he arrived in South Florida on Christmas Day. They didn’t exactly feel like that about him two years later. Read more

I think AJ McCarron has a shot. But Saban has traditionally relied on a strong running game and a game-manager type QB. Tony Banks played for him at MSU. Not a huge success, but an NFL player. Read more
