Fantastic read. As Ivan writes, April 27 does appear to be the event that changed Saban. Lars Anderson's book The Storm and the Tide does a good job illustrating it.

This from Dre gave me all the feels:

"Coach, you changed everybody's life, no matter if you knew it or not," Kirkpatrick said, according to a video of the event. "I remember walking in, a young guy, and you helped me develop as a young man. You taught me certain things that my father couldn't. And that was about handling my business. And making sure I put what I have in front of me as my number one priority. And separating myself from certain things. And every guy up here can pretty much tell you the same thing, man.

"From the bottom of our hearts, we truly appreciate you, we truly love you [as] a father figure. Because to some of us, you were a father. We just want to let you know: we truly love you. We thank you. God bless you. Roll Tide."

A great read, and I'm happy that at least some folks in the media see that part of Coach. I'd wager a bet that as he gets older, we'll see more and more of his passion come out in the form of emotion for his players, asst. coaches, and those around him in general.

I highly recommend this book for folks who haven't read it yet. Great read and as RTR91 states it does a great job of illustrating the event that triggered a change in CNS.

He's a great man in the lives of young men who need structure and guidance.

Dare I say it, but this is basically how Coach Bryant's former players remembered him too. We are witnessing "Greatness 2.0" in CNS right now.

Enjoy it boys, it won't last forever. :BigA:

These "Saban isn't a robot" articles are becoming an off-season tradition. It's sad that it takes a yearly reminder for some people around the country to notice this.

This can't be true. Remember..."he's only going to be here 3-4 years and then he's gone!" -- Every member of the media, Jan 2007.
