"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." - Keyser Soze
"The rat poison you put out there this week was yummy." - Nick Saban
Imagine, an entire college football world, spending a week assuming Nick Saban was done. Imagine Saban's glee listening to all that doubt.
