I'd put money on it that he included "quality" and "want" in his speech a few times

No Saban. Coach Miles really earned a lot of respect by delaying the start of spring football to pay homage to Coach Shows. Not many college coaches would do that.

Miles is much better as a speaker than he is when speaking to the media.

Heard CLMs speak on several occasions and if you think he doesn't speak to the media the way he does on purpose you are an idiot.

He was about the 4th or 5th speaker and was the first to crack emotionally towards the very end of his speech.

There is a cold, stony thing in Saban's chest where a heart is supposed to be.

Details?


Hard to remember everything but he told about how Don could gauge talent and knew where to play his players. "Whitworth, born to play LT." Shows was right. Mingo, Shows played him at LB, LSU at DE. Mingo plays LB in NFL. Don was right. Will Blackwell played DE at WM. Shows told Miles "he's a LG". Shows was right again.

Miles mentioned the atmosphere at Rebel Stadium and how Shows had created that atmosphere. Said it was everything "right about HS and college football."

And the most touching was when Miles said, with his voice cracking, "...and he was a Friend! (Long pause regaining composure) and we'll miss you Don Shows! God Bless!"

It was fitting and very moving. Coach Miles is such a class act. We are incredibly lucky. Coach Ensminger and Coach Peveto were there as well.
