I've never heard that before. But that is definitely more true than most any quote I've ever heard. I've gotten old but when I see kids playing & having a good time it lifts my heart and makes me feel good to just witness fun. But to see a kid having a difficult time, I don't understand how someone can NOT help. Back in 2007, I got married to a wonderful, beautiful woman by the name of Kim. We had met in October of 2003 & were near inseparable. She miscarried twice. Then in 2011 she was diagnosed with COPD & told she had about 2 to 6 years of life left. She passed away Christmas Eve 2015. And I had people actually say to me, "I was surprised that you stayed with her the whole time." And still to this day I don't understand how they could possibly say that to me. I loved her & married her. She only had so long to live, but I wanted to be a part of what life she had left because I loved her. I couldn't have left her to die alone, even if I had wanted to, which I never did!!! She may have been "dying" but we focused on each other & having fun together, even if that was just sitting & talking with each other. I enjoyed being with her. The fact that she was dying didn't change that. I was talking to a lady on a bus & she asked me if I was mad at God for taking her away from me? And I said "NO!" I'm blessed by the fact that I got to meet her, know her & love her!!! Most people go through life & never get to experience a love such as her & I had. Yes, I miss her more than I've ever missed anyone, with a 30 year old daughter running a close second. But that's a completely different story.

I have a autographed Eddie Jackson Helmet in my BAMA Room

Yep, it's the process. I remember the second string QB, a freshman, taking over in the first game against USC at the end of the 1st quarter in 2016. Fumbled the ball away on the first play and USC went up 3 - 0. Then his Saban coaching kicked in and Bama won 52 - 6. Some kid named Jalen Hurts.

Eddie Jackson is one of my all time favorite Bama players. After tearing his acl sophomore year he came back and was solid and was then having a Heisman type season in 2016 before he got hurt. I was there and it was so sad that A&M game. We chanted “Eddie Eddie” as he was carted to the locker room hoping it wasn’t the end of his college career. It was great to see him out there for the coin toss at the NCG as a captain. I knew he was a steal in the fourth round. I’m so proud of him for what he has done on Sundays and the millions of dollars he has earned.

Hope your day is blessed! A good desire to have is becoming more Christ like and able to leave this world a better place than you found it. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life do so before your last breath. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life, bow your head, close your eyes and from a sincere heart ask him to cleanse you of your sins and be your Lord and Savior. Each of us have a short time on this earth and these days are getting darker and darker, may you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and deny yourself and pick up the cross daily, he loves you.

And the Kick 6 happened only days after this interview. #WDE

yup, and Johnny Manziel out after one yr. Need I say more.

thats what happens when the perfect person comes into your life. your life changes.

@@travisb5922i can vouch for that. I’m no football player but that is something that holds true outside of football.

@@travisb5922 yup. the hardest part about coaching is knowing when a player needs a challenge or to be embraced.

Eddie Jackson bought into the process. He didn’t give up. I’d be willing to bet that’s exactly what Saban saw a glint of somewhere in Eddie when he recruited him. Saban could take a three star and turn him into a five star like it was a walk in the park. That was part of Saban’s Process, and he worked on that Process his entire career. The GOAT

😂

From a legend to a dynasty. The gold standard of CFB. Man, this is really something. It’s not just impressive, it’s monumental. Saban has done much more than football as well, making the difference in the lives of children in the state of Alabama. He and Ms Terry are, at least in our minds, the Head of State and First Lady, because no politicians have ever done more.

Thanks for saying Sabans plural. Everybody knows Miss Terry was an important part of it.

​@mynamedoesntmatter8652 don't forget all the adults, as in the coaches he helped.

Oh, the good days. I’ve been binging on games, watching the great guys from these past seasons. What a ride this has been.

Makes over $14m a year in the NFL

His injury, along with Shaun Dion Hamilton's injury I believe to this day were major reasons they didn't repeat in 2016. That Clemson team was good, that Alabama defense was great, losing two high quality players, forcing shuffling, even though Alabama's defense was still great, makes a difference in the margins between great teams.

No he was a 4 star

But Saban has made three stars into five stars. He could see things in kids that no other scouts and coaches looked for. That’s why Saban is the GOAT.

@@mynamedoesntmatter8652 there has not many three stars and below to even touch the field at bama 💀 i couldnt name 5

@@daredevil5072 You haven’t paid attention then. You just looked at the top dogs, didn’t you?

Who would you pick to play him?

Lots of people. I understand it ain't easy. Kind of like the Marines i guess. Very tough but worth it if you have what it takes.

He has done nothing to elicit anything like forgiveness from anyone. But everything else you said is good.

I’ve no idea where you got that.

​@@mynamedoesntmatter8652 Try Google. NY Times article. I assume you'll tell me all those quotes are lies. This was common knowledge in Austin at the time. I live there.

@@mynamedoesntmatter8652 He did entertain the Texas job a few years ago but I think Miss Terry was happy where she was in Alabama.

It was very satisfying knowing auburn didn’t win a national championship that year lol

Thank God he didn't just head off to his beach house to never be seen on campus again. At least he's still gonna be around in some fashion to tutor the new staff if needed. My only concern is Deboer & staff gonna be able to recruit good enough to carry on. Hopefully he will have a great season with Saban's recruits and convince the players Saban may not be the head coach anymore but the perfection and standard rolls on!

FAREWELL NICK SABAN

I know, but it was inevitable. Be proud of what Saban did these seventeen years, and wish the GOAT all the best. Of all people, he deserves exactly that.

Some are just not cut out to be in the NFL.

The NFL doesn’t look for players to develop. Saban’s talent was that, it’s what satisfied him.

Saban himself said he was more suited for college

Watch Auburn fall. War New Mexico State

That means the GOAT did his job right. Roll Tide!
