I wouldn't venture to guess as to who all we sign today. Just hoping we don't have any surprises on our side. Here's to a great class that works out in the long run. One thing for sure, signing day has always been a hoot since Saban has been here.
I always go back to this:
On the third day of 2007, on a flight from South Florida to Tuscaloosa, Alabama’s brand new football coach, Nick Saban, dropped a surprising question on his seatmate, then-Crimson Tide athletic director Mal Moore.
“Do you think you’ve hired the best coach in the country?” the 55-year-old Saban asked Moore.
“Why, Nick, of course I do,” Moore said, while thinking to himself:
For $4 million a year, I sure as hell hope so.
“Well, you didn’t—I’m nothing without my players,” Saban said, locking eyes with Moore. “But you did just hire a helluva recruiter.”
