HOOVER, Ala. — When Nick Saban strode onto the podium the biggest crowd of media this week quit talking.
Complete quiet embraced the most disliked and most respected head coach in the SEC.
The SEC should consider changing its name to the Saban Economic Conference.
The man oozes money. He makes so much that no one knows for sure if it is $9 million or $10 million a year, every year.
He’s such a grinder that he has trouble keeping offensive coordinators — he is not shy about chewing on assistants’ behinds live on national television — and the last one quit and left town without telling him.
