Although many think only of Mal Moore as the catalyst for bringing Nick Saban to Alabama (which he was), Mal was also an amazing servant to Alabama throughout his life. A life well lived.

A man of great vision, that raised the money to build the facilities that allowed him to go and recruit Coach Saban. We will forever be in his debt. Always a class act.

Had a high school teammate who played for Alabama in the late 60's and one day he introduced me to Coach Moore. He seemed very pleasant at the time, but what really impressed me was that he actually seemed to care who I was and my relationship with one of his players. I had the feeling then, and in later years, that he was a genuinely good, approachable person who wanted only the best for the University.

Geeze, just when I think Cecil can`t possibly write a better piece..... Coach Moore certainly and deservedly has his place in the pantheon of Alabama greats.

Finebaum aired the memorial service live. I'll never forget hearing Coach Saban get choked up when he talked about losing a friend.
Pretty sure I was late to a class that afternoon because I sat in the parking lot listening to the service.

It is good to see fellow Tidefans express deserved appeciation for Coach Moore. I am pretty sure he he had a good appreciation for us, too. RTR, Coach.

Had an uncle who is also gone now who had some classes with Mal Moore. Many, many years ago he gave me an autographed page from an Alabama publication that had Coach Moore`s and Billy Neighbor`s signatures on it. Wish I could come across it again.
