From the article:
"In 2018, one program has come to dominate the landscape of college football so thoroughly that it’s hard to remember that just a decade ago, that program was a national laughingstock. Nick Saban’s arrival in Tuscaloosa in 2007 took the Crimson Tide from being a punchline that few teams took seriously to the most powerful dynasty in the sport’s history. It didn’t happen overnight, but the transformation did seem to happen over the course of a single year: 2008.
Over the next few months, AL.com’s Sports Video team brings you an in-depth look at Alabama’s 2008 football season and how it set the stage for the decade to come in college football. This documentary, which has been years in the making, features interviews with players, coaches and other key figures who witnessed the transformation of the Tide first hand.
In Part 1 of the series, we take a look at the arrival of Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa and how the coach’s first full recruiting class in February of 2008 transformed the program almost overnight. Julio Jones, Mark Barron, Marcel Dareus, Barrett Jones - names that would become synonymous with Alabama’s early dominance under Nick Saban - all joined the roster on the same momentous day. How did it happen? We take a look inside how Alabama’s most important recruiting class in school history came together."
