Thanks for posting this story, DBF.
I've often said some of the best stories about college football happen away from the field.
Just my opinion but I don't think Coach Saban is really disparaged that much in the media as much as he is respected. He is a fighter and always stands up for what's right vs. what's wrong on and off the field.
That will be his legacy and you can't ask for more than that.
If anyone didn't read the linked story, they should do so.
I lost my father when I was 14 and it was tough. Having someone you look up to stop by, shake your hand, and tell you your Dad was respected and will be missed means a hell of a lot and is something that will always be remembered.
Roll Tide and thanks for helping this young man, Coach Saban!
