Who would have thought the greatest NFL coach and the greatest College coach of all time would be best friends before they had their major success

[@freemanpense2782]

As a Raider's fan, I remember when the Browns came out to the LA Coliseum. That defense was brutal. It beat the crap out of our quarterback. He was definitely a great coach way back then. Of course, I didn't know he was why we got beat up so much since the internet wasn't a thing yet.

[@jimgray3346]

Saban calling his wife Miss Terry is just bananas

[@TDOLLA]

It’s a southern thing. I lived In Alabama for 10 years and it’s a lot more common down there (I know Saban is from WV). It’s like a sign of respect usually given to older women. Like at the place I worked at- the rare times the owner of the companies wife came everyone but me would call her Ms. Deborah

[@TDOLLA]

@You Tube I’m not originally from the south and there were just certain things they said that just never stuck with me. Like calling women Mrs. then their first name. or I grew up in the midwest and we say ‘pop’ instead of ‘soda’ or ‘coke’ or we say ‘shopping cart’ but they all say ‘buggy’ or in the south if someone doesn’t hear what you said they will say “Sir???” snd look at you meaning that they didn’t hear what you said but I always just say “what did you say?” just little regional differences… I just spent all my formative time in the midwest and there are just certain things we say and do differently

Yeah imagine Nick never leaving do you think in a year or two after that they wouldn't have really been a SuperBowl contender and That team that Bill built that ended up getting sold and moved to Baltimore would have ever happened??

[@njebei]

@@thechado7868 The city of Baltimore was already working on the deal during the 1994 season before Saban left. By June of 1995, the owner of the Browns had signed a deal with Baltimore but it wasn't announced until November 2nd. The Browns started out 3-1 when the rumors started flying. They were 4-5 when Modell announced. They finished 5-11 and Belichick was fired. Belichick put together an amazing organization in Cleveland that was just starting to bear fruit. He'd already gotten good at hoarding draft picks which allowed the Ravens to get Jonathon Ogden and Ray Lewis in 1996. It would have been interesting to see what he could have done if Modell wasn't a horrible business person.

[@Briggie]

Saban’s father was the first ever coach for the Patriots.

[@paulgaither]

Alabama has so many NFL ready players because of how well they are coached. At the same time, it is also because a lot of blue chip / top recruits want to go there... but why do they want to go there? Because they know they will get NFL level coaching and prepared for the league.

This is something crazy

[@resdog851]

It is great how stuff just circles back over and over. Nick Saban is the obvious most dominant head football coach in college football right now. He tells a great story about his first game at Michigan State against the later national champion Nebraska Cornhuskers team. The Huskers won 50-10. It goes down in Husker history as "the Lawrence Phillips game" where he went off against Michigan State and then dragged his girlfriend down the stairs that night because he caught her with some young QB....(Scott Frost). Back to Saban. Saban described that Husker team as the most complete team he ever faced. Some say they were the greatest college team in history. He met legendary coach Tom Osborne at midfield after the game and Osborne famously told him "You're not at bad as you think." Osborne was always the master of the understatement.

[@RepentOrPerishL133]

@Gregory Alan Bailey, I'm a relocated Alabamian and before Nick got there, Alabama had become Nebraska. Not very good. Players were not going there because it was Alabama. That mystique was gone. He won at Michigan State and won the National Title at LSU. That's why Alabama went after Nick. Go get the best! I don't know where this idea is coming from. Why do people continue to repeat the same dead wrong story. He went out and recruited great players (part of a college coach's job) coached them to play to there potential, and then started winning. Now players come there because of what he built at Alabama. With all the players and coaches coming and going he has been the one constant.
