I believe this horrific event is a contributing factor to why coach Saban will retire at Alabama. After watching a documentary on this half mile wide F5 tornado make a diagonal perfect strike across town I cannot imagine what his presence and support would have meant to fans with homes destroyed and lives lost. With his personality, I am sure it had an impact on his, bonding, with the community. The 2011 team went on to win a NC. When he writes his autobiography, wonder what he will say about that. Just a thought. Coach Saban seems to have settled in nicely considering he just completed his 10th A-Day game. Press would have never believed that.
