Basically when you move to AL, people ask you to declare which team you’re for, UA or AU. Even growing up n FL, my family were UA fans. A long story short, I worked at UA as a senior attorney during the Stalling years.

Anyway, I have always been fascinated by Saban’s behavior. His aggression on the field, and his shyness off the field. Truly a great coach!
