This is by a Russelville native, from a conversation with Calloway's foster dad:
1) coach chizik never called the parents...One day he showed up at school and talked to Brent. UA coaches called and gave 3 days notice before a visit...no barging in without the parents' knowledge
2)Trooper Taylor would call on Wed Night, Sun morning, and Sunday night to talk to Brent...conveniently when Peaches was working at church. (wondering how that meshes with the God thing)
3) chizik told Brent that Saban really didn't want to play him, but he was just trying to get him so he could ride Alabama's bench and keep him away from other teams (because we have scholarships to throw at people we never intend to play)
4) chizik told brent that Saban was going to be the next HC for the Titans and leave Alabama in the dust.
Peaches made Brent tell the UA coaching staff all of the things that had been told to him. Saban told Brent he loves coaching at the college level, btdt (been there done that) with the pros. Saban told Calloway if he were going to coach at the pros he could have done it with the Cowboys (apparently he was offered and declined).
I've heard some things about Calloway...just basic cocky kid stuff. Honestly with his shaky home situation (biological parents not taking care of him) I can see how he might become a little inflated for having people lavish so much attention on him. Hopefully Saban can help with that. You can also see how the family thing was enticing for the kid but luckily common sense won out in the end. Honestly I don't care what they say about Peaches...how come it's ok for Lattimore's mama & Clowney's mama?? God forbid a MAN take an interest in his son (esp. when he is wanting to steer him away from what he considers shady people).
