ESPN's Alex Scarborough, occasionally trollish though he be, tells of an unhappy Derrick Henry on the verge of transferring.

J.T. Medley had felt him slipping. The longtime middle and high school assistant coach and father figure to Henry knew he was lost at Alabama and feared he was about to make an irreversible decision. So Medley called Henry's mother, father, high school coach and another assistant coach over to Medley's home in Yulee, Florida. Together, they decided to sit down and speak to Henry like adults. Around the kitchen table, they were frank: You can't leave Alabama.
