TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — There are certain givens that Nick Saban has come to accept over the years—things that he sees coming from far away yet remains powerless to do anything about.
Saturday was a perfect example. After his wife, whom he affectionately calls “Miss Terry,” watched this year’s team for the first time during the Crimson Tide’s initial scrimmage of training camp, Saban was well aware what the topic of conversation would be when he got home.
“I’m going to get a real earful about the quarterbacks, and who played best and who she likes the best and all that,” he said, although the coach would be the first to admit that her opinions about personnel decisions are usually pretty good.
