It wasn’t big brother little brother. I had a mentor early in my career. He would praise me when I did right and chew my a$$ when I did not so good. Without him, I wouldn’t be who I am now. That’s how I view Lane and Nick. I can relate to their relationship.

exactly. this is nothing more than Sr. Alpha and Jr. Alpha.

A few thing strike me though in a major way.

1) CNS is the most prolific user of the word ain't and aight in the history of the world, lol !

and

2) CNS is a self-aware MF. Absolute Genius and call him arrogant if you will but his realization that his personality may have prevented the input he wanted form his guys and straight up admitting it? That's championship level. Never hated CNS. On the contrary. He's my Skip Bertman #2 in life.

Saban should have watched his tone with Lane.

What has Lane done to earn that?

CNS was the boss. PERIOD. Lane still has a good relationship with him. I have children and none of them are the same. Some you have to scream at and some you never have to raise your voice. All different. Aight?

Eh, Saban plays nice on TV. It’s better than it was but Lane is far from one of his favorite people. Saban didn’t even stay in Oxford for the LSU game. He was back in Tuscaloosa that afternoon.

Saban said on Theo’s podcast yesterday he didn’t even know he was being recorded all the years at Alabama and learned Alabama was recording everything for their archives

Lane really has been in the game forever and he’s still barely 50, my god the kid might be ready for this moment

If any of us are successful in any way any of us can relate to this. I know I can. I am better for it today. Today I am a leader of men and the one thing I can't stand is excuses. Man up and give me solutions.

by the way who does Nicky think he is talking to our ball coach like that.

“Had some moments” is an understatement. When Saban had some folks follow Lane around and check what he was doing in his office, he couldn’t even keep him 5 more days until the national championship. I’m sure ole miss had learned of his “prep” at Bama and decided letting Golding coach was the better decision.

Lane should've slapped the taste out of Saban's mouth
