Turning of the Tide | Part 1: The Arrival of Nick Saban

[@michaelpendergraft341]

I’m an OU fan! I have watched this documentary like 4 times. I love college football. There is no doubt Nick Saban is the best College Football Coach in my lifetime so far.

[@hchastain16]

I’ll never forget how embarrassed I was as a kid to be a fan of Alabama. Those pre Saban days were rough and the only thing keeping me a fan was the stories of all the championships and great players from days past told to me by my dad and grandpa. All that being said, I’m so happy and appreciative of everything Saban has accomplished at Alabama. He’s definitely made it easy to be a proud Bama fan again.

[@Cameron_Merrill]

you should still be embarrassed. cheating doesnt feel good except to gumps

“I’m not going to tell you what we’re going to accomplish, I’m going to tell you HOW we’re gonna do it.” That’s how you knew good things were in store for the Tide.

I'll never forget, Saban laid forth his plan in his introductory press conference, he put forth a mission statement, while Mike Shula simply said "any questions". Stark contrast between greatness and mediocre.

[@shaynecrimsontide7288]

@@Alexander-fr1kk I have to tell you that Quebec, for a long time, was 90% Catholic. The Jesuit priests there were ultra-montane. For a long time French-Canadians had the highest birth rate ever recorded for a European people. Beginning in the 1890's both Canada and the USA began accepting immigrants from eastern and southern Europe. Most of them were Catholic. The Jesuits would say that with Quebec's high birth rate and with North America taking in so many Catholic immigrants eventually Catholics would become the majority. They would drive Protestants into the ocean. When that happened the Vatican would rule the America's from the North Pole to the bottom of Argentina. Needless to say that did not go over too well with Protestants. The Jesuits did not speak for all Catholics in Quebec and their views did not represent the feelings of all Catholics.

That is why Coach Saban told Mal Moore when he took the job "this only works if I have total control", which Moore said he would have. There are boosters who wanted Saban fired early on because he (Saban) rubbed them the wrong way.....Mal Moore was the wall between them, God Rest His Soul.

Several of them didn't win rings/titles before they left. Instead they did the hard work of lifting the program up and giving it the direction we've enjoyed since they left. I'd list names but there are too many. Bama fans know who you are, men - and we thank you. Roll Tide!

I can't help but admire the maturity of the players. A great coach like Saben always matures his players into MEN. He not only teaches them discipline in how to play football, he creates leaders for society, much like Vince Lombardi did with the Packers.

[@MetallicAAlabamA]

I remember being a kid around the age of 8, or 9, I remember walking into what you would call a rent a center here in Florence, Al. I remember looking and watching their zenith TV's (No flat screens lol) and watching David Smith lead Alabama on a comeback win against Army in the Sun Bowl. I knew my Mom and Dad both were Bama fans, but I became one because of that day. I started checking out the history on Alabama football. Started realizing that "Hey this school has been winning titles since the 1920's!" Watched alot of ESPN shows and the history of college football. They talked about Bama, Notre Dame, USC,Army, Michigan, Oklahoma ,Nebraska ,I was intrigued. But being a Bama fan in the late 80s was tough, just as was the 2000's. That 92 team against Miami, was a special day. Cause I was born in 1978, Bama won titles in 78,and 79, and with that 92 title, it made my love for this school even stronger, i now have 2 kids, both were born on National Titles seasons (My son Marshall 09, my daughter Zoe 11,12). Their mother is from W.Virginia, where Saban is from, she now is a huge Bama fan, and to this day I call her my "Good luck, grid iron girl " I met her in 2007, Saban' s first season, It was destined to be lol. I loved everything about Bama,the uniforms, i loved their fight song, I loved EVERYTHING about the "Crimson Tide" (Wich I feel is the greatest team name in all of sports) As I watched that 92 team, the wins over Vandy the first game of the yr, I remember those Saturdays so well, and It has been like that ever since. I've never not listened, watched, or went to an Alabama game since that day in that store. In 1999 Bama won the SEC title, and played Tom Brady and Michigan in the Orange Bowl. Bama lost, I was devistated! Bama just came off a 4 win season in 97, and not much better in 98. So I went to my first game in 2000 against Vanderbilt in Birmingham, Bama was just beaten by UCLA in Pasadena, Ca after being ranked as high as #3 in the start of the season, Bama won 3 games that season. I didn't stop watching, my friends laughed, my family stopped watching, and careing, I didn't give up hope. My best friend left in 2003 and went home to NW Indiana, he was a huge ND fan, and he told me "Bama will NEVER top ND in National Titles!" I said to him "Just wait, Bama will get a great recruiter,and a great defensive minded coach. That's all Bama needs and no one will stop em for years to come." In comes Saban in 2007. Believe it or not, my friend whom was so high on ND, now is a huge Alabama fan, he still watches his Irish, but he calls Bama the best college program of all time, and it's not even close. The 2012 BCS title game he sent me a picture of his coat, and it was half ND, and half Alabama,it was amazing to see. And he tells me every day, that when he is working, he sees different ppl at the truck stop and they see his Bama swag, and they say "ROLL TIDE! Folks this is what makes college football great! And Alabama is the GOLD standard ,along with Notre Dame, Michigan, Miami, Nebraska, Oklahoma, USC, and Texas. It is always better when these teams are at the top of their game. And not only has Alabama dominated the CFB world. It's also been reason for some teams success i.e. Clemson , every Clemson national title team has been won by a former Bama player or coach. Howard,Ford, and Swinney. Look at Miami, Howard Schnellenbrger was a former assistant under Bear Bryant. He started their climb to power in the 80s. No doubt about it, Alabama IS and will ALWAYS be the GOLD standard in College Football! Will Bama's Dynasty end? Yes it likley will, but not while Saban is still recruiting at the level he is, and he knows who to hire as assistants. He's the best, and just as Bryant' s last game at the Liberty bowl in Memphis against Illinois was probrably one of the most covered bowl games during that time, the same will be for Nick Saban when his last game is coached. And that man will be hoisted above the players shoulders, and he will leave the CFB as "The greatest EVER" And it makes me damn proud to know that not only will Saban retire as the greatest, but Bama will have the honor of saying "We had the 2 greatest coaches of all time!" (Coach Bryant, and Coach Saban) and don't worry Bama fans, when Saban retires? Trust me, there will be another great head coach, that is a destined winner that will walk into the press conference and say "This is Alabama, this is where champions come to win, this is the holy grail of college football!" Mabe Dabo, mabe a coach we've never heard of. But when it happens we all will know that regardless, he will be one of the greatest. That's the power of the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide football! "ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL TIDE ROLL!

Never break from the standard, never break from the mantra. He's a machine. That's the kind of guy needed to dominate a profession as thoroughly as he has for as long as he has. You look at dabo or kirby. Great coaches but they seem to NEED that certain player at that certain position to put it all together. Saban takes the 5 star roster and just wins.

No one has been able to match him year for year, and the reason for that is stated above. I know he hasn't bottomed out like dabo did this year, with a 5 star QB.

IM A DIE HARD LSU FAN!! BUT... I MUST SAY; I REALIZE THAT BECAUSE OF NICK SABAN, LSU IS NOW ON THE MAP. I GIVE SABAN HIS DUE, HE IS THE BEST COACH IN COLLEGE HISTORY! YES I SAID IT. LSU NEEDS TO REMEMBER WHAT SABAN DID FOR LSU.. THANKS COACH, MUCH RESPECT HERE......

[@richfairclough123]

Not sure about Saban comparing a loss to 9/11 and Pearl Harbour.... but that is taking football serious

[@shannonnelson4001]

The 2006 Iron Bowl, as an Alabama fan, the only time I have ever wanted auburn to win a football game. If Bama wins it might just be enough to give Shula 1 more year. With a loss we could pull the plug.

[@nicholasjordan326]

Part 2!!!!! Now!!!!!!! 💯 💯 💯

[@SnakeHiggins]

There's a lot of people that will point to the fact that Saban failed in the NFL as a negative, to them I say, in the NFL as a head coach you are at best, third in command taking orders from the GM and owner and don't have full control of the program, Alabama gave him full control and said just do what you gotta do and he did it and look at the results.

[@joeblow2069]

Remember that Mike Shula was hired because they thought the gravitas of the Shula name would be good for recruiting. In the 2008 nfl draft not one Bama player was taken. That is how bad recruiting was. You had players like Terry Grant who was a starting RB, 891 yards in 07 who instantly became 3rd string the next year.

This is how I know the 30 for 30 on the Alabama football program is going to be epic

I can’t wait to see this about Scott Frost in a decade

[@cm1133]

This comment didn’t age well at all. Frosty is failing BADLY at Nebraska.

[@dnmoscato92]

Hey coach? Would you come give Scott frost some tips for Nebraska football.

[@brucemcgraw7014]

If I was only a bama fan. I love his philosophy, so it hasn't surprised me that they've won 6 titles. Hopefully Harbaugh can work the same magic for Michigan.

[@brianburnett4514]

When done we are going after Clemson Tae coach Dabo Swinney

[@brucefranklin1317]

In the end coach saban will have numbers that no one will surpass. Lately his offence is explosive to go along with his specialty the tide dee. Bama stock in 2021 is as high as its ever been.

[@mas5867]

Name 1 of his 7 NCs that don't have a caveat like both of Dabo's don't.

[@ralphbryant8178]

Those banned years was so hurtful to see my team not being competitive

[@badhollywoodscience]

Where in this documentary does it talk about paying players and hooking them up with agents?

[@jcelldogs]

I agree. Theres cheating going on there

[@brianrochelle688]

Dumb fuck

[@RoseFielden]

It's hard to beleive at one point we were just "awful". That we were just a burden nobody wanted to come coach here. I didn't know what to think when I heard we got Saban. Was certainly nervous and seeing the turnaround in 2008 blew my mind.

[@Farbar1955]

Dang, I was expecting a lot more credit to ULM for getting Alabama off its butt. The Warhawks played their hearts out and got a legitimate win over the Tide and Saban. But, as a ULM alum who attended that game in 2007, I knew that Bama was never going to let that happen again and no Group of Five team has won in Tuscaloosa since.

[@aeromedical6750]

Talk about a wake up call - it so woke Bama up that they’ve not lost to another unranked opponent since that game in 2007. They just keeping adding to what is already an NCAA record 80 plus game winning streak over unranked opponents as of the New Mexico State game on 9/7/2019. I love these spin doctors who constantly berate Alabama about their schedule and then their team makes an annual event of losing to some unranked opponent.

[@arthurvandeliegh8681]

I'm an OU fan and I remember something interesting. If I remember correctly in 2003 when OU was playing at Alabama Gameday was there and at one point they said something to the effect of "These Alabama have to get it out of their heads that the days of Bear Bryant are ever coming back" or something like that, in other words they should lower their standards. Well, Alabama didn't lower their standards and now they have the best dynasty in the history of college football. That said, I'm hoping OU can beat them, believe we can but we better bring our A+ game, especially on defense.

[@JK-gu3tl]

I remember those days. Bama was in the midst of ncaa sanctions and bad leadership.

[@robertmosley8568]

ROLL TIDEE ROLL!!!! 🏈🏈🐘🐘🔥

[@grsmith56]

Alabama and Tiger............. never write them off.....champions always come back hehe we will always rise like the real tide it always rises.

[@dnmoscato92]

I'll be honest. I'm a die hard Nebraska cornhusker fan. But I love nick saban. And there for I love Alabama. I always root for em. My friends call me a band wagon. But what is there not to love about Alabama. They are great year in and year out

[@mas5867]

LOL. Neb, what a joke. Miss the Big Easy, huh!

[@aregimechangeisimminent5781]

Composite 247 ranked Marcell Dareus as a four star recruit.

[@JK-gu3tl]

Bama DTs always underrated. Look at Quinen Williams.

[@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536]

He's so good, he would have had the same success at any blue blood university.

[@derek9355]

That's the thing though, Bama wasn't a blue blood when Saban took over the reins from Shula.

[@lloydkline6946]

It more than x&0 stuff, the 💰 from alumni must be their for other stuff, he got expensive staff too, new building ,etc etc

[@cm1133]

I’d love to see Saban restore Tennessee to its former glory. No I don’t! ROLL TIDE ! ! !

[@kenonoke1395]

Y they stop putting these episodes out ?

[@jareddaves5168]

Yes

[@InnovatewithLes]

I had every one of those coaches smh but shout out to Shula for holding it down
