“I’ve had a really good relationship with coach Saban,” Vrabel said on Thursday. “He’s welcomed me down there really to just try to get better and improve as a football coach. And then, the ability to call him and ask him about a situation, about adding a player that he’s coached was something that I was able to do. …
“Coach Saban obviously thinks a great deal about Julio as a person.”
