It’s something you’ll hear often when high school football stars sign with Auburn.

“Auburn just felt like home to me.”

It’s not a recent development.

That’s how Mike Kolen felt a half-century ago when he chose Auburn out of Birmingham’s Berry High School in 1966.

In his book, The Greatest Team: A Playbook for Champions, Kolen writes about his admiration for Coach Ralph “Shug” Jordan.

“I liked everything about him. He was super organized and would have been a great CEO in business. His expectations were high,” Kolen writes.
